We need a healthy Gary Harris.

Getting this one

Hope we can get this one. If we don't, we should probably adjust our expectations for the postseason (playoffs or playin).

From my conservative calculations if they can win this one their chances to grab the 6th seed go up.

3 games losing streak is my guess.

Ez win

They dont usually put in back 2 back clunkers, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Orl taught another lesson tonight.

What are we expecting in the playoffs? I know for me, I can’t see us getting pass the 2nd round. Our non-shooting is going to be exposed to the nth degree.

For which team?

If we lose this game, I might give up all hope.

As long as we win, I can make peace with Goga and Black not starting.

I'm still a Gortat fan. Dude still talks about the magic as 'we'. 'We need to sign some free agents...'

We lost two (close) games where one was just a bad 1st and fans are just depressed its kinda funny lol

It's wild how we had 2 centers that didn't shoot 3s but were a top 3-pt shooting team and offense.

There is a sense that this is all too good to be true

Love it, Saturday morning here so get to watch the full game along with tomorrows.
Need a good bounce back after the warriors. Nice to see how we match up but Clippers going through some issues

We don't 'need' this win but it would be nice. We have a few winnable games coming up but we need to win 2 or 3 of our games against playoff teams to avoid the play-in.

Kawhi will make tough shots, just gotta make Harden/George miss.

I'm personally more worried about Westbrook though. Dude always just kills us. Our backups do not match up well against him besides Isaac.

Same with Powell. I just know Ingles is gonna do some dumb **** and he's gonna hit a few wide open corner threes lol
