GT: vs Orlando Wed Mar 27 7PM 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:25 pm

magic are 1.5 games ahead of us in the standings. this game could end up determining who ends up with the most chances at drafting .......... NOBODY GOOD.

if there was anyone in the draft i cared about i would suggest we play gordon, tyrus and diop heavy minutes our most tankworthy lineup. but there isnt anyone to care about, so i prefer that MKG and harkless go head to head in a preview of what could be an intradivision small forward matchup for the next 5 years.

*27th

We should at least try to win this one. A couple days ago we were just a Charlie-V bucket from winning three in a row.

I'm surprised that another team is even close to our league worst record. I would've thought the next closest team was 5 games ahead of us considering our consecutive close to record breaking losing streaks.

That crazy start did it. We went 7-5, and after that went something like 7-40something

It's still crazy to think some teams are near out-tanking us.

It goes to show despite being ridiculed for our roster we have some serious talent on our team, We have been peeved at Dunlap for obviosly tanking in a lot of games but apparently we needed to?

We'll probably win this.

Hopefully Kemba, Gilchrist and Biz put on a show.

Nikola Vucevic (concussion) will not travel for Wednesday's game against Charlotte, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Spin: The report mentions that Vucevic is expected to play again this year, but with 11 games left over a span of three weeks, that's obviously not very specific. He remains out on a mostly indefinite basis, though technically he might be day-to-day.

Funnily enough I was really looking forward to watching him and seeing him go toe to toe with Biz.

I don't wish harm on anyone but if he had to miss a game I am glad it is this one.

As bad as the draft is I still would like the better odds at the number one pick. They will probably shut Vucevic down and try to out-tank us. Damn it. Couldn't we make a counter by playing Mullens 40 minutes a game from now on?

FUN FACT: Kemba has averaged 27 PPG (53.8 FG%), 6.3 APG & 4.7 RPG in 3 meetings with Orlando this season.

He's set his career-high twice against them if I remember correctly. If he goes off for 40 tonight, I'm buying a Kemba jersey. There you go Kemba, now you have an incentive.

Bonnell just tweeted:

"Lots of injuries for Magic: Vucevic, Afflalo, and Davis all still out"

If we don't win against this deflated Magic team........

Is McBob active? I want to see him go off on his former team.
