Been confirmed by Robbins that Isaac is out with a strained left foot and Simmons with a right wrist contusion. Isaac says the injury is minor and that he should be back quickly.

Jeff Turner's basketball expertise: "These are two teams that have success when they run their offense through the 5 position. For Philly, Embid and for the Magic, Vuc."

Turner continues to spew the same inaccurate statement game after game. It's disgusting.

It's been a long time since I'd say Orlando had any success with anything

We shouldn't need too much help tonight but we have some BIG games coming up.

We've won, like, 153 games running our offense through Vuc. That's a lot of games. What do you mean, "Out of how many available games?"
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.

Not sure about that headband. It's not exactly Vince Carter level of cool.

Steele pointing out the respective draft positions of these teams in recent years and calling it luck. Nevermind that we literally tryharded the final game of the season to allow this exact team to leapfrog us in the lottery, but yeah.

It’s like he doesn’t understand the correlation. Incredible.
