The Masked Man!

I haven't heard any updates but it seems like Dec 23rd against Chicago would be the earliest we would see Vuc back. More than likely the next game on the 27th against Philly would be his actual return date. This would be a big win to get back to .500 before a brutal upcoming stretch.

This is must win game because of upcomming schedule

Oh man...

The Athletic just posted a SCATHING article with several anonymous player quotes about how much of a disaster John Beilein's early season tenure has been.

Sounds like they have a near mutiny on their hands. Yikes.

This one !



..

Must win game. I expect another good Fultz game against Cavs small PG's. I hope Isaac takes out Love again + AG & Ross keep up there momentum.

People are too excited. I sense a let down game

Honestly with this team at this point I just never know what to expect. Could we blow them out sure. Could Cleveland beat us sure. But I just never know what we are gonna get out on the floor. If we get the same offensive from the last couple of games I think we pull this one out. But if our offense struggles then I think we struggle to win this one on the road.

One thing I can agree on this is a must win game going into the next 2 week brutal schedule. Go magic

I am always weary of playing against teams that have internal issues going on because you do not know what to expect from them when you play against them. In this case, the Cavs are a complete mess and like Knightro said are close to a mutiny because of the harsh coaching coming from Beilein. I really hope Orlando does not play down to them tonight and really set the tone on both ends. I think we can crush their spirit if we can spring a big lead and dictate the flow of the game. In any event, I am looking forward to watching some Magic basketball. Hopefully we can get a good road win and even out our record.

How many times has JB Bickerstaff taken over as intern coach mid season? I swear last time we played them I looked at their bench and saw Bickerstaff and knew the head coach wouldn't last too long

Kevin Love is out.

GREAT news.

Like some noted this is def. a must-win game and smells like a trap game.

Pretty simple boys. Give Fultz the ball and be ready.
