Lot of guys out/questionable for Nets. Need to come in focused, hopefully it being a Cup game is enough motivation to not let down. Gotta take care of business.

[SOUL]

Nets been beating teams no matter their roster recently but yeah hopefully we come out focused and go 3-0 in the cup

[RookieStar]

Didnt quite a few here wanted Claxton to be our C? Is this by design or did he lose his spot to Simmons?

[RookieStar]

Also there is Keon Johnson and Zaire Williams.

NGL they were part of our boards draft scouting lol

All road games are tough (especially for Orlando). Yes the Nets is depleted, but this game is a real coaching test. The team needs laser focus here.

As a cup game, the Magic need to play all 4 quarters. Expect big minutes by whoever is Hot.

[drsd]

The computers love the Magic in this game and Vegas has Orlando, on the road, at -7.5.

As a cup game, I actually like those odds and think the Magic will try to cover even with that huge road-betting line.

The O/U is only 209.5. I love the over there. Given that the Nets will be playing young players, both teams should easily get over the 105 to couple to the over. In my opinion.

Interesting that in this game, we need to also care about an unrelated game. The Hornets are at the Knicks. An upset win by Charlotte really helps Orlando; and is key for the game-4 matrix-of-possibilities for Cup promotion.

In conclusion: this is more than a Just Win game; the Magic need to run up and pile on the scoring.

... Gary Harris (hamstring) ... OUT.

Hadn't seen this. I guess the minutes go to Howard. He was impressive in score-running-up in cup-game-2. So maybe another last-second meaningless three can be had again? Here's hoping.

He was out in the last game. Since Wendell moved into the starting lineup, TDS can play the sf role off the bench instead of Harris.

Yeah the Nets are super shorthanded, but it's a cup game on the road, and the Nets played us very tough last year. But hopefully we can get it done and pad another win with this relatively easy schedule. We need every win we can get once we start facing stronger teams without Paolo, I think.

And-1

Then Nets has a really nice 3-game winning streaks all coming on the road against, Sac, GSW, and Phoenix. These are three very impressive wins!

[RichCollab]

We need to treat this as a playoff game. Bring that level of intensity. Gut check game. Where we at maturity wise?

Claxton was way overrated.

Hella pissed Knicks beat Hornets. Orlando better wipe Barclays with Nets jerseys and step on their necks.

[rcklsscognition]

We have to beat NY anyway even if NY lost today so that game didn’t matter too much outside of point differential which they got nothing from.

We need the Hawks to keep it close against the Cavs. Handle our business tonight and I think in the worst case we are the favorite to get the wildcard.
