One of the biggest tanking games I can remember since this rebuild has been going on. Have my sleeves rolled up to keep the peace in case things get too negative in here lol. Hopefully it does not come to that.

Give Iwundu every shot and we should secure the loss

I feel confident we'll lose, but crazier things have happened.

Must lose game. Literally means nothing to win this one.

Dang.. to think, if we lost just one more game aside from this one, we would be sitting pretty in the 3rd spot..

Well, I hope the ‘we can’t lose every game’ crowd enjoys their terrible team next year.

They still have more to play for and I still fully expect us to go all out tank in the 4th quarter (again) to secure the L.

Playing #1 vs. #2 doesn’t matter if Wall or Porter are hurt. Resting them makes sense even with playoff seedings at stake... they are still going to try hard to win this while we try hard to lose.

This reminds me of when the Magic beat the Pistons in the finale of last year's game (because Elfrid Payton decided to hit mid-range jumpers for once in the 4th quarter) for Fan Night and fell from 4th to 5th best odds, and were leaped by the Kings to fall to 6th in the draft. If the Magic had just lost that game, they would have finished tied for 4th best odds and maybe would have landed 3rd in the lottery and had a chance at Jayson Tatum

. Lord have mercy on this forum.

Hezonja finally breaks out, goes for 40, i can feel it

Big stakes tonight in the Lotto standings.

Lose and The Magic are in a three-way tie for 3rd best Lottery Odds and if they win, they are in sole possession of the 5th-best odds.

The memory of some people are concerning... that or they’re the type that keep repeating the same mistakes without learning their lesson.

I still ‘think’ we lose but there’s is no reason to be playing starters more than 20 minutes tonight.
