We always play these guys pretty good, hopefully it continues this game.

Taj was always too strong for AG, so I like him on Butler better.

Bulls been in a slump after starting out strong. Hopefully, we catch them tired instead of trying to right the ship.

We can't start off slow tonight. Don't let McBuckets be the Magic killer.

This would be our best win yet. I think Aaron will be able to play Jimmy Buckets well but we have to hope Wade has another off night.

Hopefully they won"t honor the Cubs tonight...

That would put the crowd into a frenzy and it could help them a lot.

I don't see us winning this one... they aren't a great shooting team but the dribble penetration is something we have to stop to beat them. Miami beat us without shooting well from 3 and that's how I feel will happen tonight. If we can control the paint and make our 3 pointers tonight we may be able to pull it out

The Chicago Bulls IR:
- Michael Carter-Williams (knee) is out, targeting return in December

The Orlando Magic IR:
- Jodie Meeks (foot) is out, targeting return in late November
- Nikola Vucevic (shoulder) is questionable for tonight's game; he first injured the shoulder last week against the Sixers

Go Magic! We're on a three game winning streak and the bulls are on a three game losing streak. The bulls are going to come ready to play tonight. Don't love our chances.

They didn't have magic slayer Wade last year. I don't expect to win this game. Bulls lost 3 in a row, are at home, and they have Wade. As long as we don't get blown out and put up a fight. Win would be huge though. Starting November 4-0 for first time since I can't even remember.

I guess I missed the news Chicago aquired MCW... how quickly he's fallen from rookie of the year.

So often, we see guys who are struggling mightily break out of their slump against the Magic. Wade is currently 10-21 this year shooting 3s, which is the best he's ever shot it. Hopefully tonight can be the opposite of a slump buster.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I'd like to predict the score of the game before it starts. It will be 0-0.

I'm nervous about Fournier on Wade.

Other than that, we should be able to go toe-to-toe with them.

Ibaka needs to take more 3's and pull Gibson out of the paint to allow Vuc to go to work on Lopez. Hopefully Vuc plays tonight.

Interesting, I didn't even realize Vuc's injury was still lingering from that game. Hopefully he plays
