2/3 on this road trip would be acceptable. Anything else is underachieving. Go Thunder!

Dangerous game, Orlando is not great but the are not bad either and could have a good shooting night.
I hope we win, we have to keep our momentum.

:lol: Looking at the picture of Ferg and Ross

I remember on the trade board near the beginning of the season some the Magic fans talking about a Ross for Ferguson swap.
If that idea was floated now, OKC would delete Orlando's FO number.

With the way the team is playing, this should be a game that isn't too much of a hassle. A lot of that depends on what Russ shows up and if the team can continue to shoot it at a decent clip, but Orlando is beatable even without playing particularly well. Miami is a whole different matter.

Just one of those games when I worry that our team will relax too much after playing great against tough opponents. Magic are not that bad so if we aren't focusing 100%, we are screwed.

If we win one of two on our Florida road trip I won’t be massively disappointed.

We're in the middle of a 10 game win streak. The next game we're losing is HOU on Feb 9.

thanks. Can you check in your crystal ball if we are going to get someone by the trade deadline and when Roberson comes back? (so I don't have to check on twitter etc.)

Confidential sources are telling me that they are not playing because the thunder is finalizing a deal with NOLA

It's a close game because PG13 is on fire

We are playing good team defense though (even if some players suck)

I love every glimpse of Westbrook in which it looks like he is regaining his otherworldy athleticism.

Paul George is unreal.

it wouldn't be a display of westbrook athleticism without 4-5 consecutive defensive possessions with his hands on his hips not moving.

I don't mind (that much).

Knowing that Westbrook still has it is as comforting as it gets.
He has shown that he can defend, he shows that he can score at will, he only has to put it together, but this is not the time where it matters.
