Let's get this winning streak started! The play in is still within reach.

We should probably win this if RJ comes back

However, Orlando is showing you how a team should look if you're missing your 2 best players and your 6th man. They can easily fight and claw their way to a win.

Expecting a W. Raps at home and close to full strength.. Magic missing key players.

Can IQ follow up with another stellar game and can Barnes get back to his triple double game?

Even without Barrett we should win.

Magic have been pretty up and down since Franz went down, probably more down lately. Beat the Celtics (though maybe that was just a super cold shooting night for Boston) but lost to the Pistons, barely beat the Nets, blown out by the Knicks.

I think this is probably one of our more winnable games, especially if we have IQ available, doubly so if RJ and Bruce are back too.

expecting a win is foolish against a team that gives a consistent effort like the Magic. Let's see how the Raps do with Suggs on IQ. If IQ is neutralized, will the team revert to scoring 71 points again? Kind of a toss up game to me at best unless we shoot well from 3.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

First time we will be in full force this year? With RJ, IQ, Barnes and Yak. I hope so.

After losing 11 straight, you mean we still have a chance? :o

I am starting to get concerned for RJ. He is now listed as doubtful for tonight. Hopefully he isn’t seriously ill.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Instead of rooting for play-in you can just go watch this on repeat

Was there any updates on RJ's status? I just really want to see the full starting line up actually get some play time together for once this season with everyone fully healthy
