Big game for Beal to show what he can do without Wall by his side. His shot is still off, but it was a good sign to see him start getting aggressive and earning trips to the line.

So our franchise player has the knees of 36 year old vet and can't play back to backs at 26.

Honestly if he's like this now how could we give him contracts?

Hopefully Wall looks at WizarDynasty's post and learns how to land.

I hate to say it, but the streak ends tonight.

Why? Because Grunfeld... Because Burke... Because Smith.

If our starting five could stay healthy all year and if the NBA suddenly decided to shrink games to 30 minutes, no doubt we'd be a playoff team.

It's all part of the Plan.

EG has already read it. His entire career has been one big soft landing.

Even though we're resting Wall, this is a game I feel is winnable because Orlando is prone to dreadful scoring droughts. They barely came back and won against Philly the other day, the Sixers melted down with TOs and let them back in it.

Sato might have to go 40+ minutes in this one, but I think we have a chance to win with defense + Beal/Kieff/Otto carrying the scoring load.

I like the move to sit Wall. Wall is still early in his injury recovery and needs the time to heal. Burke got benched last game, which could be a real blow to his confidence. Giving him an opportunity to redeem himself in a game where he won't be looking over his shoulder for the quick hook should do him good - same with Sato.

The bottom line is that this team has no chance if they can't learn to play some minutes without Wall on the court, so they better figure it out now.

Yeah, this seems like a good spot to get Wall some rest. The game is still winnable. Anyone know who is going to start at PG?

According to this article, Satoransky. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

It appears as-though Brooks has had enough of Burke, we should ditch him and look for an upgrade in FA/D-League.

Dude, he has only played 3 games.

Don't get me wrong, I have little confidence in Burke being an above-average backup PG, but you can't make that determination with certainty after just 47 total minutes of action. Any coach that did that would quickly lose his team's faith in him. Brooks did the right thing in benching him when he did, but he needs to give him another shot at some point. Same with Oubre.

He should be much better with Sato as the ball-guard and Mahinmi. He can focus on doing things he is at least passable on.

Yo Tomas gets the start I'm calling a double double if not triple . He is a competitor he's going to thrive on the pressure. ( With what pressure there is with the 5th game against Orlando lol) I'm so hype! Let's go Tomas the yellow jacket satoronsky

I've seen all Magics games this season because I wanted to check how good they are with new coach and addictions. After 2 games I still watched them cause they sucked so badly.. it was too much fun to see their play and read the comments I couln't refuse this entertainment ;) Their "star" Fournier is as **** player as I've always thought him to be. Poor defender, egoistic player who diesn't like to pass somethimes getting hot but it's all. Shocking they prefer him over Tobias Harris. Elfrid Payton young,raw pg without any shooting skills. His only way to scores is driving to the hoop and makes FT's. Vuc as always is good at offense and bad at defence. Ibaka started to play better but he didn`t impress me. AG is fun to watch. I like this guy. Hezonja is dreadful SG who can't shoot. And Biyombo - when he is on the floor team plays better. Good addiction for them. But overall it seems like Orlando has the same problem as past year very few players who can shoot from distance. I agree with You even without Wall we have a chance to win, but with John is always easier.

Didn't the article say that Sato is starting?
