ORLANDO MAGIC v NEW YORK KNICKS 7:30 PM FOX SPORTS
Image

ABOUT THE MAGIC (15-30): Orlando has struggled to get stops lately, allowing 100 points or more in a season-high seven straight games. The Magic have allowed their last two opponents to torch them, falling 127-99 to Oklahoma City on Sunday before being beaten 128-118 at Detroit on Wednesday. Orlando needs to step it up defensively in order to stop wasting strong offensive efforts from leading scorer Nikola Vucevic (19 points, 11.1 rebounds) and guard Victor Oladipo (16.5 points), who are both averaging more than 23 points over the past five games.

ABOUT THE KNICKS (7-36): New York has won consecutive games for the first time since claiming its second and third games of the season. The winning streak has coincided with rookie Langston Galloway (11.8 points) moving into the starting lineup and averaging 16 points over the past two contests. Anthony (24 points, 6.7 rebounds) has put up big numbers in three games since returning from a six-game absence, including 27 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday's 98-91 win at Philadelphia.

I shudder to think how bad it will get in here if we lose to the Knicks tonight. We are so inconsistent, I have no idea what to expect tonight.

Unless we're seriously going to right the ship and turn this around, I would rather lose a ton of games. A, I want zero excuse for Henny to keep JV and B, we suck anyway (mostly due to JV) so we might as well get the best pick possible.

So sad actually. This team has too much talent and potential to be tanking.

I never ever root to lose, but I want Vaughn gone so badly, that I wouldn't mind the Magic losing today. And, if they lose, must be by a blowout.

Since it's a road game, I have us winning by 30.

If it was a home game, we would lose by 40.

supposedly Tobes is on board with it......for now.
For the time being, Harris’ spot in the Magic’s rotation is as a high-scoring forward off the bench. It’s not a role he’s particularly fond of, but one he’s willing to fill all in the sake of making Orlando a more successful team.

``It’s part of the game. I talked to coach and he feels this is what’s best for our team,’’ Harris said of his conversations with Magic head coach Jacque Vaughn. ``If I come off the bench, he thinks we’ll be a better team. Do I like it? No, but I’m a professional and I love this game. I want to win so I’m going to play for my team.’’

If he later wants to bolt then i will blame the dolt for that too.

If Harris bolts, then it is all on Henny.

I give him props because i never thought he'd be cool with that. I wouldn't call him a cancer if he wanted to start though because his talent says he deserves to, but it's big of him to take it in stride and think team first. High character ftw.

Let's be honest though... only an idiot would make himself look like a locker room cancer in a contract year.

"Conditioning"

Oh wait no he's serious. Wow, it's almost the end of January and we've still yet to see the starting lineup we've all been waiting for. It sounds like it might be a while too. I hate this coach.

Can't you design a flowing offense to take advantage of everyone's scoring? You don't have to isolate everyone, you know.
