Good chance to look at Claxton vs. Wendell

We're at home with some rest, against a mediocre team (even though they're healthier now than I thought, apparently).

No excuses, we've gotta get it done.

Is Jalen back yet?

Please give me another reason to watch this game.

Suggs and Fultz are both off the injury report.

The only guys not available are the ones in the G-League.

If the fully healthy Magic lose to a team that's 10-21 on the road coming off a good bit of much needed rest...

Yeah, you're right. Panic time :lol:

Cam Johnson sent to the bench?

Well, hope we can pound it inside. WCJ has a lot to prove against CLaxton lol

I'd like to see WCJ take it to him. I'm a fan of a Claxton move but a bigger fan of WCJ just becoming the guy we need at C.

I think we'll see a better Brooklyn team than in the last game when they were on the second night of a b2b.

To my knowledge, he hasn't been as impactful this season...but think of Isaac's impact without any real stats beyond blocks and rebounds. He's one of the best rim protectors in the league and he can switch all over the place...BUT, he's another one of those Centers that just cannot shoot free throws :nonono:

I’m so giddy there is a game tonight.

Off-season is going to be so painful. The draft has little meaning. Free Agents and then Training Camp

Gotta win this. They're not on a B2B anymore and Cam Thomas is back so we cant just blitz Mikal like last game
