If AB is starting, which I do like, that would probably open minutes back up for Cole. We need something that resembles a point guard off the bench. It might not mean anything for Tristan since we've seen Gary played as a backup 3 and JI as the backup 4.

But I'm ready to be wrong. Let's see how the rotation looks. It might take a while for Mose to find a new rotation he likes, anyway.

No Wendell either. Should I even watch? This will not be good lol.

Carter a late scratch.

So I guess Isaac will be the backup 5 and TDS the backup 4 tonight.

Well, expectations for a Magic game haven't been this low for a good while. It almost feels like games in our last tanking season. I'll probably watch a bit just to see how guys look, but even if we're getting absolutely murdered I'm not gonna get too low about that.

Also any ideas how we can upgrade our starting center position from Wendell? He's clearly not it. Or at least not reliable.

WCJ is so injury prone.

I fear Moe is going to get eaten alive by Allen/Mobley. Prove me wrong lol

Since Okoro is reputed to have no offense at all... AB can sag off him and help on Mobley

1. A win
2. A Franz masterclass as he begins his all-star push
3. Big minutes from JI

I'll be rooting for TDS minutes, Black to get to the line, and Jett to get up 6+ threes as well but for our near term stability I need Franz and JI to step up.

JI won't play big minutes. He's just never going to average over 20 mpg.

He was going through something in the last game.

Wow. All this depth and none of it available.

I feel like Mo will force his offense to compensate for Paolo’s absence, and we’re set up to get abused on the rebounds and interior defense.

Leggo underdogs!

I’m expecting a lot of 3’s tonight. 3’s and fast break.

Yeah this is going to be very ugly. But you never know what happens. Curious to see if theres anyone stepping up to fill the void..

How long will it take for Moe to foul out tonight?

not sure how you single out WCJ when so many our out.

My issue is with an empty 2 way roster spot, we could have had a big in there ready to go.
