Is Franz playing this game? I know he was a game time decision. If Franz is not playing I would like to see Caleb get some love in the SL. I am also really interested to see if Paolo can put the Hawks game behind him and if the team can respond and not go into a spiral after the loss last game.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

I like that we are favored. Will be thrilled if we come out and get this one on the back of a loss. The team already believes they are better than their record but if they start up another winning streak we'll hardly miss a beat and the good vibes will roll.

Will we play as a team that's grown? Or will be play down to another young team like young teams typically do?

So was last game the let-down game or is it this game?

It seems way too easy to assume they'll bounce back. They're even favored to win...

He sprained his ankle several times last season and played through it.
