Go Magic. A win here would go a long way towards my emotions. Can AB have a good back to back game? Is Paolo actually a contender? Is Franz going to take the bad mouthing on a forum he probably doesn't know exists lying down?

No clue. I come here for youz guyz as much as deez guyz.

[Bakomagic]

Good team with a tough defense.

Would love to see a Paolo/Franz dynamic duo performance mixed in with unusually good 3p shooting from the role guys.

[cedric76]

No Cole= win

[Skybox]

We chose our path vs CLE...might as well kick everyone's ass from here on out.

[JoshuaPotter]

No Cole= win

Honestly I am worried I am correct. CoJo got healthy enough and as a corpse can play well enough, that even that little bit, makes a difference. Well see.

Controversial question: would you rather have Orlando’s stable of drafted players or Houston’s?

If our young guys had Houston’s veteran supporting cast (FVV, Brooks, Adams) how much better would we be? Better than Houston is now?

Orlando, but it’s relatively close.

But Houston has done way, way better with their non-draft pick acquisitions. As well as hitting on a bunch of picks outside the lotto.

Orlando's

Let’s go end another NBA-best win streak.
Can’t get embarrassed on the boards.

[Bensational]

Team being 10-3 when KCP scores over 15 is not surprising. Shame he’s only scored 15 points or more in like 20% of his games played.

We’re in a better position because of Paolo and Franz.
Houston doesn’t have their star abilities (Sengun is close).

How good is Eason?

[Bensational]

That’s the earliest TO and challenge I’ve ever seen.

[ogmagicfan]

CoJo with the steal on FVV and 3 on the other end to start the game

He's been spectacular since being put at starting PG

Imagine how good we wouldve looked with FVV instead of CoJo

[ogmagicfan]

Is it me or does WCJ look slimmer than anytime in the past couple seasons?

[ogmagicfan]

KCP with his usual middy to start the game

[basketballRob]

Black should work with Franz and show him how to hit a wide open 3.
