Well I was actually in the middle of making one... little too early for an "emergency" game thread, but it's all good.

I hope to see a competitive game like the last time we played them.

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555
.@OrlandoMagic coach said that @VicOladipo (thigh bruise) didn't go through shootaround and is "50-50" to play tonight vs. @warriors

The Magic (25-30) have won four of six and sit in 11th in the Eastern Conference, 3 1/2 games back of Charlotte for the final playoff spot. Their only defeats in that stretch are by a combined five points to San Antonio and Indiana. But despite their success lately, they're having trouble defending the 3. Orlando is allowing opponents to shoot 43.6 percent from long range during that stretch after Philadelphia went 10 of 21 in Tuesday's 124-115 victory.

Curry leads the NBA in scoring and is averaging 33.8 points in eight games this month. He reached 40 for the ninth time this season Wednesday, and he'll be looking to break Kyle Korver's record of 127 straight games with at least one 3-pointer after draining six against the Heat. Thompson is averaging 27.8 points during the trip and has hit at least four from deep in each of the last three. Curry (45.5 percent) and Thompson (42.0) both rank among the league's best 3-point shooters and have combined for more 3s (442) than nine teams -- including Orlando.

So far this season 75% of the running time of all Magic games has seen neither team with a double digit lead, highest in the league. On the flipside, Golden State’s games are “competitive” for only 53.5% of the time:

Happy 21st Birthday, Mario.

Nah, it's ok, I just added some of what I had to my post above. Got some more important things I should probably be doing right now anyway.

I heard Oladipo might not play.

We are gonna get wrecked.

Magic by 10, no jokes.

We certainly have enough talent to keep the game competitive. And, the Warriors are coming off a close win last night.

Basically, we get to see how our young guys match up with one of the greatest teams of all-time...

This one could get pretty ugly

Honestly, (far far far) more than anything else it is the post game reactions on this board that will be driving my support for an Orlando victory tonight.

I can't decide what I think will happen.

Will people spin it as winning in spite of the coach?

Will it allow people to calm down and admit to overreacting to recent bad games by a young team?

Will it go completely over he top and suddenly doom and gloomers of a day ago are predicting a dynasty run in Orlando?

I just don't know...

This is a must-win game. Philly had them 105-108, we can win.

"You have to play really, really well, and you've got to hope they're off a little bit," Magic coach Scott Skiles said.

Yuck.

And:

Evan Fournier, Victor Oladipo and Nik Vucevic did not practice Wednesday, Skiles said.

Umm ....

If Orlando wins this, well to say I would be shocked is an understatement.

GS is on its 5th game in 8 nights or something, on the road, it's ripe for the taking.

BCS · Post #16 » by **BCS** » Thu Feb 25, 2016 10:11 pm

GS had a tough game last night...fatigue can help us.

Oh and Curry is breaking a record on us tonight...just our luck lol.

Heat almost beat the Warriors last night. Warriors should be tired and prime for an upset. Goooo Magic!!!

If Orlando wins, I don't care if Curry scores 100.

Did Skiles finally break Victor? This not taking him out when he's injured is not good.
