The place:
9PM Eastern, shown on FSFL
vs
STAND AND CHEER......YOUR.....ORLANDOOOOOOOO MAGICCC
as they go for5
5 games
5 games in a rowwwwwwww (sing it like subway)
Defense has keyed the winning streak, as the Magic are allowing 91.3 points and 39.4 percent shooting in the last four after giving up an average of 105.8 points in dropping three of the previous four.
"The only way to be a winning team is by defending," Vucevic said. "Some games we might go out there and outscore people, but we know that for us to be consistently winning we have to defend."
Though the Magic don't have to worry about Gobert patrolling the paint, they'll also have to contend with Hood's offense. Fourth on the team in scoring at 13.1 points per game, Hood had a chance to put the Jazz (8-8) ahead of the Warriors by two on Monday but missed a 3 with five seconds left in a 106-103 loss.
"We competed against the best team in the league and gave ourselves a chance to win," said Gordon Hayward, who is averaging 24.7 points and has made 8 of 15 3-pointers in the last three games. "Had a shot at the end. Couple mistakes here and there. ... And maybe it's a different outcome, but can't complain."
Last time......
Orlando (10-8) looked like it would cruise to an easy win over a Utah team playing without Rodney Hood (right foot soreness) and Rudy Gobert (left ankle sprain) on Nov. 13. The Magic led by 22 in the second quarter and were up by 23 in the fourth before letting the Jazz pull within seven with 1:10 to go. Utah couldn't get any closer, however, and Orlando won 102-93 as Evan Fournier had a game-high 21 points.

A win moves us to 6th in the conference, a loss makes us tied for 10th.
Getting a little tight in here.

I agree, seeing that handshake live was bad ass lol. Nice thread by the way woosah, much respect. Rebound, share the basketball and attack the paint. We do those things, we give ourselves a chance to win yet again...CAN'T WAIT!

"Gordon blocks Hayward" is almost as fun as two Shabazzes going at it like last game. Or the numerous Nikolas.

Indeed. They all seem like such a nice bunch -- except that dude Ingles. I'm pretty confident he is actually just masquerading as an NBA player and, in actuality, is every dude I have ever played at the YMCA over the last 20 years

Heard Gobert is out tonight. This will make Vuc's scoring much easier. Still going to be a tough game. Lets make it 5 in a row boys!

Great thread woosah! Although the Jazz will be w/o Gobert and Hood, still go to contend with Hayward and Favors as they provide the Jazz with major PPG. If the Magic can force the Jazz into a bad shooting night and own the boards, they should get win #12. But they can't allow the Jazz any room to have confidence to fight back and get over on the Magic. Play smart and tough, the Magic should win.

Thanks for the update SD! I didn't know Hood was out too. Looks like Alec Burks is supposed to get the extra burn tonight.

Hood isn't out AFAIK. He was for the last game. SD probably read the thing from the last game.

As a sports fan, I'm irked by the thread about playoffs in the East on the GB where some say we have NO CHANCE to make the playoffs. Meanwhile, we have a chance to be 6th in our damn conference tonight. It would be great to pull that off and have some cushion for the games that we aren't very likely to win. I've got a lot of faith in this team and our coach.
