If Baylor was a movie character, he'd be Benecio del Toro in The Phoenician Scheme...

I think Joe's just giving guys playing time without much regard for winning the game.

Brilliant move by Joe playing these guys. If the C’s manage to win this game that is a major confidence destroyer for the Magic if the C’s get them in the 1st round. If they beat the C’s tonight no big deal.

Norris will hoist it if they pass to him. His one thing is releasing the three pointer, and he doesn't need much room to do it.

We need more Refs.
At least a 4th on the floor.
Another semi-retired, on the Review
And likely a 6th, in-Training, from the G League.

My only concern here is our offensive rating, road point differential, and net rating plummet after this game. :(

Oh, and of course, we don't watch the league record for best road win %.
