In what way? I just see Starters - 2nd unit - 3rd string - G league

I'll be at the game. They can definitely win this game but of course has to come down to the little things....

Limit turnovers, second chance points, offensive rebounds, and secure 50/50 balls and I think they pull this out.

As long as the rockets don't have a 3 point shooting night like they did last year in orlando then I think we have a good chance.

Let's have a fun year and make that playoff push!!!

Go magic

Indeed!

Looking at the back, Schofield is in the core-15, and Houstan is not. Hmm. Indeed Schofield is 12th in these bobble heads.

Okeke and Bitadze clear as the 14 and 15.

Anthony very clearly as 6, but that has Isaac and Black as 7 and 8. Not so sure about that.

p.s. why does G-Harris get a 2nd ball ?!?!?!?

I see that too. I don't think anyone has considered both Moe and Goga as 3rd stringers.

I like it.

Orlando guard Gary Harris (left adductor; strain) is questionable, while Kevon Harris (sore right knee) is out.

For Houston, Tari Eason (leg), Trevor Hudgins (not with team), and Victor Oladipo (left patellar tendon; repair) are out.

Opening night have historically been good to the Magic. Orlando is 19-15 all-time on opening night and 22-12 in home openers.

Poor Dipo. Dude just could never stay healthy.

+1 I always regret not keeping him. The day he was traded I officially lost interest until Paulo came back.

My heart was broken when I heard about his injury woes. A great player that just can't get past his injuries.

Just want AB to be part of rotation. If that 2nd line comes out as the 2nd unit that would be super interesting.

Same. And if Moe is already 3rd unit, Jett supplanting Harris is within arms reach.

Black/Cole/Jett/Ingles/Isaac is a second unit that makes a lot of sense.

I don't really regret trading Victor. I don't think his incredible development at age 25 would have happened in Orlando candidly.

I truly believe Victor needed to get traded (twice) to really start taking his job more seriously. His overhauled his training and nutrition and body before that first season in Indiana and then his game just exploded.

And then his body gave out right after that

You're reading way too much into it

[basketballRob]

I'm looking forward to Amen against Black if he's in the rotation. Amen is exactly a year older than Black.

A picture is worth a thousand words they say.

How great will it be if it turns out Black is already in the rotation, and Jett has a clear path to it? It would mean management and coaches aren't insane.

Also, it will allow me to point out how wrong everyone was who thought the Magic would bury two lotto talents on the deep bench. I'll have to focus on the period before the second Hornets game, since I became convinced they were buried and became despondent myself, but that's a minor detail.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with you sometimes.

Buddy, you already saw the rotation in the third preseason game. That is the rotation.

If any of the top 4 guards can't play because of injury, and it appears Gary will sit out tonight, then Black is the next man up in that group.

Last night i dreamt that Black got a haircut
