must win

[TheChaser]

Let’s go boys. Show everyone how you feel about missing the tournament. And show yourselves that you won’t let up in games that you should win like the…*cough, *cough Brooklyn game

[3ddman23]

These are obvious must wins but something tells me it won't be as easy as people think it will. Especially if Isaac doesn't play... we need to play our game and not fall into there trap of ugly street ball. Let's stomp them out for these two games and go on a 9 game win streak l. Go magic

Super important game. The team is riding high but also bitter about how the tournament played out. Winning will require two extra doses of mental focus.

Washington is dangerous on the road. Just look at their splits.

Yea I wasn't too concerned with their focus until the tournament results. It'll go one of two ways, either they'll be bummed and lack focus and energy, or they'll come out fired up and want to take it out on the Wizards. Hoping for the latter.

[JoshuaPotter]

Potential statement game for Orlando.....completely up to the kids how they want to handle it.

Going to this game tonight with my brother because I’m in town for a while. Haven’t been to Amway in forever.

Y'all have fun at the game! Hope Suggs balls out while you're there!

Gonna sound like a broken record in this mug but whatever...rebound, take care of the ball, and knock down the FTs. That is our formula to success.

Looking at the record of the Wizards could give us fans a false sense of security, but hopefully the Magic display maturity along with an appropriate fear of the opponent. The talent pool in the league is vast so the Wizards could sneak up if we're not careful. Gonna be great to watch some Magic basketball again at the end of the day...LET'S GO MAGIC!

And on the other side of this, stay aggressive & physical on defense and force TOs.

I like how no one on the board is really underrating the Wizards and chalking this up as a W already. Hopefully the players have the exact same mindset, which I dont doubt hearing how Mosley has everyone focused.

The Wizards allow the 2nd most points in the paint in the league, right behind.. the Pacers. Hopefully this game goes the same way. We hammer the paint early and often, and our defense never lets them get in rhythm.

They also allow the 4th most 2nd chance points.. an area we're T-1st with in the league with 18.1 2nd Pts/G.

On paper, its a great matchup for us. We just have to execute and play our game, get extra possessions with OREB + TOs, and hope the entire Wizards team doesnt catch fire from 3 or something crazy.

The In-person Suggs Defensive Experience will tire you out like Turkey. Enjoy the game

I am so jealous you guys can go in person, i have more than one ocean to cross

[msmoore66]

We are attempting the clone players strategy now! I like it.

[RichCollab]

I want blood tonight. We need to completely ball out.

Hopefully, JI is back

I'm actually glad they beat down on Detroit. They won't be as hungry tonight. We could still lay an egg, but I think we're okay tonight.
