Will Porzingis say no mas by half-time?

If Isaac is playing, I like our chances. He somewhat neutralizes Porzingis and we also got Goga.

Theyre hard to beat when Porzingis is healthy. We need Isaac to play 20+ minutes

Going to be tough, Id really want a split these next 2 games. Today is the most winnable with them being on 2nd game of a b2b.

Would be nice for Isaac to get a tick up in minutes. I see Fultz is questionable, curious if he plays today. Their starting lineup is really good but their bench is really weak imo.

If Fultz can go, they should bring him off the bench for the first game. He can split the 15 minutes ABs getting. If he plays great, then you can start him in the second half.

Alright boys. Should be well rested and little less sore from the wear and tear of the season after a few days off. Lock in and beat Boston tonight in their house. It would be great for the top of the standings, as well as continued growth of confidence.

Yes it is. I’m glad we got some nights off. I love seeing Mose’s career wins improving so much! Best part of these game threads lately.

Still don't see a reason to rush him back. Either he is A or he is I. None of this Q stuff please.

Even if he's ready, we don't have to play him 30 mpg right away.

Horford & Kornet are out, Porzingis is doubtful, Jaylen Brown is questionable

Porzingis didn't even make it to half-time.

Boston will probably be better without Brown and Porzingis.

Idk what to think on these 2 games in Boston. I think we can definitely split. But I'll say if we some how pull out these 2 in Boston it would wild and the magic would definitely be put on the map.

Idk if brining markell back for these games is smart. I would focus on bringing back vs miami at home and let there be no distraction for these Boston games. Just play hard and don't kill you self and you'll habe a chance to win.

Go magic

It shouldn't have to be said. We will say it anyway.

I want him to come along slowly and outplay Black for the 15 minutes he has even. Non negotiable.

If Fultz really is coming back, I'd prefer him not playing any minutes specifically with Paolo
