Well alright....Dry your tears.
Wheels UP to

vs
"I think we've been playing good basketball," he said. "This is a little bump in the road, but at the end of the day, it's going to happen. We just have to bounce back now."
The Magic will look to improve to 3-1 on a five-game trip, though they've dropped the past five meetings with the Nuggets (8-13) and 12 of their past 13 at the Pepsi Center.
What? Well when one streak ends, START ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it looked funny, but didn't know why. It's the thought dangit!!!! GO!

Foye may start at SG instead, not sure the coach has been tinkering with their lineup. Meer may just be a thorn in our side tonight. Ex magicians always are.

This is a game we need to win although once again it won't come easy... we can not let role players go off. This is a game were AG would of been needed to guard Gallo who is slowly building a nice resume against orlando. If we can control the boards, hit open shots and make easy baskets around the rim we can win this game... go magic

This should be a win tonight if we play like we have. I feel like we match up well with them.

So Gallinari only scares me on 2K and when we play him. All other times he's a role player.
I'm hoping Hezonja gets some major burn as well. Does he have any experience playing at high altitudes overseas? Neat little interview q for the night to the media who steals all their ideas from realgm, pop that one off!

Tobias had better be on point with his close outs tonight or we're going to be embarrassed by Gallinari.
Jeez this whole roster is a bunch of random no-name players lighting it up this season. This is a total trap game that would have caught us out the last few seasons. Let's see if this team has taken a step.

If Gary Harris plays, I can see him going all Wesley Johnson on us.

Very important game tonight. Will show a lot if we can bounce back, but it could also be one of those games where we are just flat after playing such a good game against LA. Either way I am sure that it will be entertaining.

We get them even in wins. "Is Mario Hezonja a bust?" Multiple AG threads, etc.

Gary Harris is out.
Gordon is questionable. Doubt they risk it with his brittle bones.

Is there anyway to unjinx this because it would not surprise me one bit if this happens to us...

J Lauvergne- my wife used his pic at the barbor for my new cut. Crazy I'm gonna see him play tonight. Don't they have a good center though in Nurkic (spelling?) This guys probably the g.o.a.t. of some euro country and posterizes vuc after meeting up for flan. Unless the flan means something more.... Have we tried drugging opposing players or do we just sugar crash them?
