The Magic is only 1 1/2 games back of the #6 seed, which is above raw play-in games. This is a very important game to come out with a win.

Conversely the Magic are only 1/2 game back of being in the bottom 5.

So this could be a very important game for the exact opposite depending on what you hope the Magic should accomplish.

Can Vuc put together an even better performance than what he showed last night? If the Bulls do not double him, then he should.

We actually did well against their guards in the last game. Interested to see if the Magic can do that again. From both a tanking/non-tanking perspective, this is a pretty important game.

I really hope to see more minutes at PF from Chuma. Clark really seems none-dimensional out there. I know he's capable of hitting 3's, but without that, I don't see anything. Maybe he'll bounce back and play better. Maybe our fast little guards can play well again...their starting backcourt doesn't seem too interested in D (although their bench guys are pretty good).

Patrick Williams is really impressive. I didnt not think he had skill like this. Thought he was a project

He is miserable to watch. Arguably worse blinders with the ball in his hands than Fournier :lol:

He reminds me of the undisputed black hole of NBA history: Big Baby Davis. The ball hits his hands and the shot is flying.

Some games of note today/tonight.

Knicks and Kings both picked up win No. 11.

One of the Raptors/Hawks is going to get win No. 11. One of the Grizzlies/Pelicans is going to get win No. 10.

Wolves and Thunder are playing again which is going to give one of them a win that will move them closer to the Magic.

Big game for team tank!
