I'm hoping we can turn things around and secure a victory. ORL is hungry and has nothing to lose but everything to gain. Maybe tomorrow Booker will be back. We could use his production on the offense. Hopefully someone who can and will rebound for us also shows up.

orlando has almost been a .500 team in their last 10, so not to be messed with. thinking if Booker is cleared he would probably just head directly to Miami instead of going to Orlando first. hopefully Cam comes back for tomorrow tho

Looks like both Booker and Johnson will be ruled out for ORL. All we can hope for is that they'll be ready for MIA.

Book’s now been in protocols for longer than the required 6 days right? His covid case must be pretty tough.

depends on the rule. He might just be unable to post a negative test at the moment.

If we bring the same energy and fire as we brought against the Bucks, we should be fine. If we play like we did against the Knicks, we're going to have problems.

Booker probably sits till Toronto or maybe even LAL. I'd bet we get Cam for trmw...least I hope so.

Our players missing team would give this current team an L or make it close at least:

CP3
Book
CamJo
Saric
Frank

Vs

CamP
Shamet
Mikal
Jae
DA

Fortunately our current team should handle the Magic.

yeah. the magic don't have as much talent as us but they are quite well put together, and we will have to focus to get a good win.

Hopefully we see more of this especially tomorrow against Adebayo.

By this time next week, Dubs will have Draymond back too...and Wiseman can't be too far behind. Still, I think they have punted on the #1 seed and just want solid team play leading into the playoffs.

Memphis has a ridiculously easy schedule however so who knows what they'll do. Those losses to Boston and Houston by them might've gotten us the top seed.

I wouldn't say their schedule is ridiculously easy. they still gotta play GSW, Utah, Boston, Denver, Milwaukee and us. Pelicans too who will be trying hard to get into the play-in. If not for our injuries, I would say our schedule is way easier.

Today could be tough too with Bamba and Carter.

Is Cam Payne the best player on our team at getting DA the ball?

Not the last few games but last year in the playoffs and so far today. It appears they worked on it a bit and Payne is getting back into the swing of things in that respect.

Ayton shouldn't be getting burned off the dribble by Wendell Carter
