He was sick earlier in the season and I suspect he got everyone else sick. I don’t know why he is playing sick. Seriously take it easy and let your body get well.

This would be a nice win on the road/road back to back. Trae and Okongwu being out helps, but the likes of Bogdanovic and ol' Capela are no slouches. I think it's going to be tough, assuming Paolo is still sick (maybe we should sit him for a game, tbh).

Murray, Bogdanovic and Bey are traditional Magic fiends….I hope the game plan is to stay home on their 3pt shooters and not help, limit their 3pt attempts like they did against Cleveland.

So, it was covid, but now it is common cold along with other coronaviruses.

Murray scares me- especially with Trae out. Could be a great opportunity for AB & Suggs to just focus on neutralizing their best on-ball guard. Murray has a fierce mentality and I wonder if he has any feelings about failed (or nonexistent?) trade talks with ORL.

This is the 4th and final meeting of the season.
Magic beat them once in OT and lost to them twice on game winning baskets by Murray.

If the Magic have the stamina to go to a strip club on a back to back I'll be very impressed. If the Magic have players that are old enough to go to strip clubs, I'll be very impressed.pepe1991 wrote:Do odds take in considiration traditional strip club attending in Atlanta?

This is without question a winnable game, I feel like the -1.5 spread is indicative of our struggles against the hawks. Trae and okongwu are out which is huge. If they do the things needed to win, like Better defensive awareness, control the glass, limited turnovers essential the little things that seems to always kills us verse the hawks.
This woukd be a great win. Would send us home for 7 games against lack luster competition and really set us up for a huge win strike. Let's see how it goes. Go magic

This seems like a loss to me. Back to back, quick turnaround, last night emotionally draining, and Hawks always play well vs us.
