Damn, we took out like two of their key contributors for the season last game.

[RichCollab]

We need to be winner winner or our season will become chicken dinner!!!

[magik9113]

Still no Suggs is disappointing. I'm just hoping we resemble a basketball team tonight

[JoshuaPotter]

Is it so wrong to hope for a win?

[jezzerinho]

You look at those rosters and we should be putting a spanking on these guys.

I don’t care until I see a more efficient offense. We are going nowhere with this level of offense. To note, the defense isn’t the same but I’m hoping that it’s just Suggs being missing that is the cause of that. The offense has always been trash though.

Can your guys not take out anymore of our Hawk guys in this game? Please and thanks.

Pretty simple formula for victory...lock down their offensive engine. Trae is too small and not athletic enough to match up well against KCP and/or AB.

But, easier said then done.

Sad part is that we lost the last head to head, so this win would only negate that as opposed to leaving them in our wake.

One day at a time ORL. Let's power through the final stretch.

[otownflava21]

Geez…no Suggs again? I’m leery about any game until his return.

[three3d]

Was Suggs injury always listed as his quad ?

[RookieStar]

do we even have our defensive mindset back?

[3ddman23]

I'm contemplating jumping back into to watching games live now.. but idk if I wanna torture myself again. I wouldn't be surprised if they come out flat to start the game and everyone freaks out that suckage just continues. But like almost all magic vs hawks games this one will probably be close and will come down to the end. Idk what to expect honestly....

[Blue_and_Whte]

I was impressed with the Hawks hustle last game. They outworked us. I do think thats a reflection of Suggs being out, imo his energy is THAT infectious. PS Just realized that i don't get the League pass feed since i live on the TN/GA border.... I hate watching the Hawks feed...

Forgive me, I'm going to drone on for a minute about my personal life and do some moaning and groaning.

I don't know if the Steward Healthcare saga made the news much in Orlando, since it's a Space Coast thing. Long story short, corrupt CEO took a crap load of money for himself and bankrupted a company that owned a ton of hospitals, including three on the space coast and some in South Florida too. Well, I have worked at one of those hospitals, in Rockledge, for the past 5 and a half years in Supply Chain and have done well for myself and moved up throughout that time. Last year, Orlando Health bought the space coast hospitals as Steward was divesting their assets in the bankruptcy process. Orlando Health came in with all these big plans and promises, and they were so excited to come into the community and improve everyone's lives.

Today, they pulled the rug out from everyone and announced they are closing the Rockledge hospital on April 22nd, demolishing the building, and selling the land. Please make an appointment with an HR representative to discuss options. Essentially, they decided they just didn't want to invest in the place after all. Instead of improving the community, they now strand a busy ER and patient population spanning a good portion of Brevard county, and displace however many hundreds of employees that work at the hospital and an additional four satellite facilities they're also closing. Yesterday I believed I would be working there for the rest of my life, and my boss openly refers to me as his successor when he retires. Today, the place is scheduled to be demolished in the near future.


Personal pity party over, I say all that just to say this: today really sucked, and it would be nice if the Magic could play well and get an important win tonight. It's just basketball and it doesn't do anything to solve my sudden problem. But damn it, I need this one tonight.

With less Medicaid money available, I expect a lot of hospitals to close soon. Good luck with everything. I hope the Magic can win for you.

Dude! Firstly, awesome to hear about the career success, that is HUGE!!

But damn man, having that put in jeopardy is heartbreaking, especially given it was completely avoidable. Really sorry you are going through this.

WCJ is getting a last ditch opportunity to hold down the starting role I think. Really interesting.
