I say start Franz / Paolo / WCJ / Bol / Bamba for the hell of it, might as well practice those 0 guard lineups while we wait for our next guard to go down :lol:

Do the Hornets still play no defense like the last couple years, or did Steve Clifford change that? Those games were always fun, very high scoring.

The Magic are 28th in ORTG and 19th in DRTG

Good luck strategizing this lineup, Cliff! I actually wished we could have kept Cliff around to teach the next group how to play defense.

This is going to be an easy win!!!!

We have 6 rotational players injured, we can’t hit a 3 to win a game, our bench is bad with the exception of Bol who was moved to the starting lineup, we have 1 healthy point guard and he didn’t get the starting nod, oh and we can’t defend the 3 point line—thankfully Hornets are the best 3 point shooting team in the NBA percentage wise. Yes, this will be an easy win! What can possibly go wrong?!

Y’all, I’m scared for this one. But hey, miracles can happen. Go Magic!!!

They're determined to make point Franz and the giant lineups work. Lean into the insanity I guess.

My only hope for this game is that our players remain healthy and able to play until they can get some help.

Well, all of our guards are injured and the ones left suck.

Is it that or their reluctance to have Paolo play the 5 and a youngster?

Weird how Charlotte has been without LaMelo and Bridges but they’re 2-2. Guess our expectations are just too high.

Lol the only positive here is Bol starting. Might need 40 minutes from these guys.

Having a lot of solid, average/slightly above average vets can get you wins. Shocker, I know!
