Our rebounding struggles and some of the numbers that point to Bol Bol being a major reason for that, makes the decision to start him at center all that much more interesting.

It’s almost like we are trying to intentionally lose games in early December.

Get some rebounds, keep it respectable.

He is, statistically, our best rebounder healthy. I guess you can put Moe Wagner in but you are also giving up a lot there in different areas. Simply no great options. It's the same argument as "Why aren't we playing Hampton more?" - guys like Moe and RJ just aren't moving the needle either, so we need to team rebound better in general and everybody needs to box out.

I don't love Mo Bamba but having him play would've gone a long way to making this game more interesting.

Happy to see Moritz Wagner get the start though. He's sort of the last man standing but at least you know he'll try his arse off.

Sounds like Paolo has heard the rebounding complaints. Good. Now fix it.

I expect to see a much more concerted effort by them all this game. No excuses

Good luck Magic. I just want to see a fun game. And I want our players to respond positively from last game. I don’t want a blowout in the first two quarters.

Keep it competitive guys that's all I ask.

Classic trap game for the Cavs.

Good thought. I'd love a win here!

Go Magic!

Had you told me in September Caleb Houstan would be starting the first game of December, I’d have thought we were 5-17 with a bunch of injuries and poor overall play.

PG: Fultz
SG: Franz
SF: Bol
PF: Paolo
C: Moe

On the pregame, coach Mosley essentially said Moe is out there to put a body on the other team and hit people. You got it, coach!

I like MoW getting the start here. I think it will prove effective. JumBol lineups might be the way to go.
