If you're on Team Tank, this would be a great game for the Magic to lose...

Just saying.

I want a Paolo Sweater Vest!

This is a huge game. A chance to move up in the rankings. In most scenarios where we make the play-ins this is a game we win.

We are at an impasse for sure. Might as well play to our potential.

I root for us to win, but I'm definitely not going to be upset if we lose.

So far, I am watching Wendell and Harris warm up. Moe and Markelle was just out here.

FYI: I know that’s not what you mean about telling you about my experience. I was just excited to say that.

The Magic PR has clearly stated there is nothing wrong. This is "load management" only. No worries!

Orlando wins this and the team is only the 6th worst in the league.

JUST win.

I'm really into the idea of Paolo just beating up a team to right his personal ship...This is a guard-heavy Pacers team.

The biggest annoyance for me is that our guard rotation is Fultz, Harris, Cole, Suggs, resulting in three of those four on the court at the same time. Rotations would be so much better with Houstan in there instead of ... Well that's the problem

Expecting ISO pull-up 3’s and 18 footers with a mix of turnovers and a few weak drives. Hopefully I’m wrong and he comes in with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
