The Magic have a chance to set the franchise record for a winning streak. They’ll have to do it on a home-away back-to-back on tired legs, against the last team that beat them.

The Nets' play has been very uneven but it'll be disappointing if they don't beat the Magic again.

Smart by Lue to get Harden out early. Both Harden and Russ are flawed players that kill your offense, essentially you have to figure out which one isn't pure garbage that night and roll with them. If they are both minimum players this can work although hard on the coach, and a mediocre reliable role player is a better option.

Harden at $35M is completely bonkers and trading all of that for him was very foolish. But it's a sunk cost now. Lue is going to just have to deal with it.

Clips have no cohesion... definitely seems like a "my turn, your turn" offense.
