GO Magic. Let's see how our focus and energy is after that loss last night.

[eyriq]

I'm excited about this game. Beat the Bulls and get within 2.5 of them and closer to the play-in.

[RookieStar]

Ah yes... the game where WCJ becomes a HOFer..

[JTG_92940618]

Chicago - doesn't shoot 3s (last in attempt rate), and doesn't go for offensive rebounds (28th ORB%), but they're good at defensive rebounding (4th DRB%) and forcing turnovers (10th). It boils down to the 23rd offense and 13th defense.

[Magic#1]

It would be nice if we pull this one out. A loss would put the Wizards in that 10 spot for now, and I'd like to keep Chicago out of the play-in. I don't have play-in dreams for us, but don't see us falling below the bottom four and don't see us catching those above us.

Isaac is playing. Same 8-10 minute restriction as before.

Isaac is playing. Same 8-10 minute restriction as before.

Playing the what if game but i think if he would have played yesterday we would have won even if it were just 8-10 minutes.

All this means is that they will set a record for most threes they have shot and scored all season. I’m ready for it. Good luck Magic.

Let's go Magic! Would be lovely to get a win on the back to back against the Bulls.

[RookieStar]

Please make this into a good game. Don't wanna switch to watching the Kansas vs UK game. lol

[RookieStar]

Wait... oh yeah makes sense... Suggs is still on mins restrictions??

[Howard Mass]

Let's Go Magic!

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Just realized Franz was the only starter that played last game against the Bulls.

[RookieStar]

Is my screen broken or is this court color waaaay off?

[SOUL]

I hate those turnovers. WCJ had 3 options there and threw it to nobody

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Wish we saw the steal instead of Banchero jogging down the court.

[SOUL]

Stop. Missing. Layups.

[GameOver25]

Fultz misses the 1st free attempt the always the same way, short hitting the front part of the rim.

[Last Guardian]

Same old Vuc. Throws the lazy pass then doesn’t even attempt to make up for it and defend the rim.
