If this is the lineup we roll out the rest of the year we'd be very lucky to win even 1 more game this season. Even the spurs & rockets have a better lineup this year than what we have less 4 starters

The younger guys get time, build skills, camaraderie in difficulty.
Good. That and lottery balls are what's needed.
Go OKC! ... which I almost never say.

Magic are up around 15 or so at the end of the third for them against Brooklyn. If they can win and we can lose..

This game, along with the rest will be a bit hard to watch with the TANK rolling full speed, but it will give us a chance to see and evaluate many players for next years roster. There are some big question marks on this current roster and I think some tough decisions will need to be made regarding many of our current guys.

For the most part I love what we have done so far. Nurkic and Winslow remain my biggest concerns for next season, but the rest of this year will be about Sharpe, Watford and Walker's development, and getting long looks at Little, Thybulle, Cam and Keon... Knox and Archi to a much lesser degree.

Another 38 minutes of Sharpe please. Thank you.

Looks like magic will win. We are within striking distance of 5th, but equally 8th or 9th. Scary thought

Sharpe 14 pts on 4-4. What is Chauncey doing to his confidence, shoot the rock kid! There's literally no reason for him not to shoot 20 to 30 times today

He's got 7FTAs in the first half which is a huge positive sign. He's been taking the ball to the hoop a lot.

Great game by Shaedon and Little. Great loss! Great win by the Magic! Perfect day, except Washington losing.

Washington plays Orlando twice more to finish the season. The pacers have a tough schedule though so they may sneak past us if we don't continue this run of tanking

My recollection was that the Kings got a favourable lottery result last year after not blatantly tanking, while the Blazers got an unfavourable result after blatantly tanking. It'll be interesting to see whether history repeats itself.

Competitive loss! Shaedon is gonna be good, gotta improve his handles though, limits him to a smaller volume of shots than he should be able to get. Great to see Nas with a solid game as well. And Eubanks is just so dependable as well at this point.

I didn't watch the game, but really loving the 11FT attempts from Sharpe. My main critique of his relatively impressive rookie season has been his lack of drawing FTs.
