Is Franz playing this game? I know he was a game time decision. If Franz is not playing I would like to see Caleb get some love in the SL. I am also really interested to see if Paolo can put the Hawks game behind him and if the team can respond and not go into a spiral after the loss last game.

This is all I've seen on Twitter.

I like that we are favored. Will be thrilled if we come out and get this one on the back of a loss. The team already believes they are better than their record but if they start up another winning streak we'll hardly miss a beat and the good vibes will roll.

Will we play as a team that's grown? Or will be play down to another young team like young teams typically do?

Do we WANT to win this game? You know... tie breakers for the tank and all...

I have no idea.

If Franz gets hurt in the game tonight because we played him for no reason, I am going to absolutely pissed.

So was last game the let-down game or is it this game?

It seems way too easy to assume they'll bounce back. They're even favored to win...

Man... on one side im glad Franz is playing, on the other... im worried Franz will worsen it trying to keep up with the speedsters like Jalen Green

He sprained his ankle several times last season and played through it.

This would be the let down game.

Indiana making our quality wins in Boston look like nothing.

HAHA did anyone catch RJ dancing behind the commentary crew? I need to clip this.

Let's Go Magic!

Let’s hope Cole has a good game this time around.

RJ absolutely feeling himself in pregame:
