Magic are 7.5 point favorites. The last game that Vegas favored us and we lost was Miami. I don't think that happens again against the wizards.

Washington probably circled today on the calendar.

Go Magic! I expect with the holidays one of us will come out playing at their peak. Likely isn't us. Well see if the cardiac issues caused by too much gravy over their mashed potatoes causes the refs to be unable to blow whistles, hence we don't get any of our free throws.

The Wizards can score a little bit, but they are dead last in defensive rating and dead last in offensive rebounding, defensive rebounding and total rebounding. They're like a homeless man's version of the Pacers.

If the Magic play their game and don't get into a needless windshield wiper scorefest with Washington, they should win this one.

They've played better lately. Kuzma could be out, and he kills us.

Just a mental exercise. To close out this month with a .500 record we need to win 3 of our next 4. Based on the calendar this in theory one of the more winnable ones.

Turn off the TV and ask the Magic + Wizards to play with random team jerseys.

And show up at a different basketball court.

Man that would be an incredibly hidden tricky game.

Soooo... Fultz Suggs Ingles and JI are out?

Yeah...

it's actually the improvement of the team that we still think we can win despite the injuries. If this was the years before we would already be revving up the tank.
