Orlando Magic against the Memphis Grizzlies bench. Least interesting game ever if playoff implications weren’t involved.

Must destroy Grizzlies!

If we lose this game, we don't deserve the playoffs

You won't have to worry about deserving. If they lose this game, they won't make the playoffs.

These tickets should be heavily discounted.

Looks like Noah might also sit.

Memphis 8-man rotation could be:
Wright/Carter
Holiday/Dorsey
Parsons
Caboclo/Rabb
Valančiūnas

Given that the starters will not be rested and that there is no real bench here, the Magic need to run and run and run, all the way to a simple win.

A dominate performance by us should be expected, a 15+ point win would make me optimistic about our playoff push

Let's go this is a must win

Let's win and get some revenge. Let's Go Magic!

Are we gonna be able to score tonight?

Dunno if I’ve seen a team start a game in a zone in a long time.

Lmao here we go. Might as well add Dorsey to that scrub magic killer list already. Cause it’s gonna happen tonight.

This has the makings of a game where they assumed the Grizzlies would just let them win.

Every jumper taken looks so flat footed. Smart by Memphis to go zone tbh.

Jonas is constantly 3 seconds in the paint with this zone but they won’t They won’t call it. This is a pathetic start

Val gonna own Vuc yet again.
