Wrong picture for Franz in the starting Five but this needs to be an impressive win once for all.

If they don't fly back with 2-0 i am really disapointed

Ya'll gotta give me time to get these edits in

So do we know Franz is starting? if he is i'm guessing it's more symbolic and he'll be pulled pretty quickly. I expect him to play 15-20 minutes at best.

I hope Franz is done with that mask...although he played very well with it on.

Big moment, imo, lots of eyes on Franz' return...a great showing between Paolo, Franz & Bane could get us back on the rails with some second half momentum through the playoffs.

Magic game in between zoom meetings should be fun. Lol

Hopefully the Germans are pumped to play!

Taking a “long lunch” in between meetings to watch this. Make it count!

Love a 2pm game plus my work schedule today just may allow me to watch this in its entirety as well. Let's go Magic and welcome back Franz

Back again, in the house again (dilated peoples reference) lol. I want to see how the German crowd is for the wagners(bronze included) & the magic. Haven't watched any basketball aside from lurking on here and seeing that nothing has changed. So we'll see how it goes.

You're not allowed to watch.

I don't make the rules.

Trust me the only reason I'm even remotely coming back is to see how Franz plays/is incorporated. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't even bother seeing as I didn't miss anything the last 2-3 weeks.

Have we seen a Black/Bane/Wagner/Banchero lineup yet?

I thought we started Tyus earlier in the season in place of Suggs, I can be mistaken.

104 minutes played, -5.1 net rating.

Ja is literally and actively trying to fight his teammates and his teammates (and coaches) actively and literally hate him and want him off the team.

There is no reason we should lose this game.

Yes we have.

D. Bane - F. Wagner - P. Banchero - A. Black

104 minutes together, 109.8 ORTG, 114.9 DRTG, -5.1 NET

Worth noting that most of those 104 minutes came very early in the season when the Magic, and Black specifically, were both struggling.

So then, that means…
