PG is out. But so is Lowry so there is that.

Biid and Drummond still out. Biid is practicing and doing pregame work (he looks skinny as **** btw).

Orlando has long wings so I doubt we win this one sadly.

They are also coming off a loss (got blown out too IIRC) so should be hungry for a win.

I see little chance we win. At least the terrorist coach will be forced to play McCain heavy mins since his binky Lowry is out. McCain and Maxey should both play around 40 mins if we want a chance to win.

Who's starting? I assume the rotation should be:

PG Maxey / Gordon or Jackson
SG McCain / RC4
SF Oubre / CMart
PF Yabu /
CE KMart / Bona

At least ORL is also on a back-to-back.

Bitadze looks like he’s wearing a wig and fake beard.

Yabu is an all star, Nick Nurse just doesn't know it yet.

I think we could win if we have a good shooting night. Magic are 29th in 3FG% so they get beat by the math sometimes.

Problem is that we’re 28th in 3FG% lmao

Bona getting cooked so far.

Can we atleast not get blown out in the first half?

They just look better than us, they are a huge team and we have midgets.

And we like to go at Jonathan Isaac

They're just a bad matchup for us since they are gigantic and we are constantly playing 3 guards. They also have more will to get the ball while our guys wait for the ball to fall into their arms.

If we lose by less than 20 it’s a moral victory.

I keep waiting for McCain to be a fraud. It's just not happening.

And also because Maxey cant carry our offense

Maxey can’t breakdown the defense. So we need multiple guards and run Nurse’s system but Magic can just switch all of it.

McCain can and should though.

That gives us 5 all-stars. How can we lose?

McCain
Maxey
PG
Yabu
Embiid

He’s better but he can’t do it the entire game. And the reason why he’s better is he’s not being defended like a first option.
