Despite winning a few games on this homestand, including a significant upset of the Wolves, the Spurs are still very poor as seen by their home loss to the Wizards two nights ago.

This is a game the Magic very much need to win.

I'll be in the building sitting mid-level for this one. Gotta bounce back here and get a victory.

Spurs are terrible defensively and have the same issue with PGs as we do. We have the better bench. Hopefully the Magic play with better focus tonight.

I saw on my feed they had tickets for "as low as $3" no love for PB the actual rookie of the year not the might be. Should be a fun game, Go Magix!

Awe lucky I love Texas, HEB is the best! Only been to SA once for Howl-o-scream(SeaWorld) and besides the rain we had a blast.

Please dominate and start a run fueled by passion and maybe a little bit of anger, but not enough to the point that it can throw off our focus. Play hard AND smart. How about that? Possible for you guys? You know, to do that at the same time?

Best Wishes,
Chase

This would be nice. But I am also ok with a 40 foot heave at the buzzer to win.

Any win is fine. Any loss will be disgusting, as we all know that will mean a horrible three-ball stat line had occurred.

The Spurs is:
26th in the league in points allowed.
24th in the league in allowed FG%
27th in the league in allowed 3poiters made per game
27th in the league in allowed 3pt F%
29th in the league in allowed rebounds


Orlando needs to run up the score big time. This needs to be a layup drill game peppered with a lot of open threeball )makes).

Need a W

We need to go 23-12 the rest of the way. This is a must win in the top 6 scenario.

Wemby is salivating at the prospect

Paolo statement game against Wemby would be nice

It's good to finish our Texas trip and West Coast trips before February.

Let's go TRAGIC!!!!!

Definite must win tonight.

This is a game where our perimeter shooting needs to be on because Wemby can and will embarrass us if we try to score down low.

Should be a win but we're so unpredictable....we'll beat a Phoenix then lose to a wizards team....lets not play with our food this time.... Pop is normally a good coach so let's see how mose prepares our team to attack a packed paint and probably a zone here or there.... Can't keep being being stopped by the same strategies with no adjustments right?

Paolo and Franz will have to be crafty when they get inside. Paolo can't do his indecisive moves around Wemby.

Will require our guys hitting outside shots this game.

Good news: Keldon Johnson is out.

Bad news: that means more minutes for MAGIC KILLER DOUG MCDERMOTT

Back to the Fultz/Suggs/Franz/Paolo/Carter starting five.

Feels like that's the starting lineup for the rest of the season unless they make a trade.
