GT: HORNETS VS MAGIC THU OCT 30 7PM

Post #2 » by **fatlever** » Thu Oct 30, 2025 4:34 pm

I'm interested to see our defensive matchups for tonight. Assuming our starting lineup stays the same...

Sexton on Suggs?
Melo on bane?
Kon on franz?
Miles on paolo?

Either way it's a tough matchup for kon. Will be a good test.

Magic on the road on the second night of a back-to-back in the 5th game in seven nights. We will have zero excuse to not be the more energized team tonight.

Really need miles and mann to pick up some of the scoring early.

I want to see a lot less Mann, more of James. This is a perfect time to get a win over Orlando given they must be tired. ON THE OTHER HAND, they’ve had a slow start and need a win badly.

How will Melo respond? He posted one of his best most complete games, then reverted to bad Melo (after getting pissed by physical play and no foul calls).

Magic off to a funky start and are on a back2back. Not getting a win here would be pretty bad.

Probably not the best timing to be facing them, but their struggles are real and the Hornets have enough firepower that they'll have at least a punchers chance even if Orlando gives them a good effort.

Mann has been awful so more James would be good. He is both rusty and too frail. Quite Unlike Sion, lol.

Magic are going to be super hungry after this awful start to their promising season. Makes me think this could be a bad one.

Think we get spanked here. Their size will be overwhelming and our forwards are quietly the worst in the NBA since Miller went down. Yes, Bridges/Salaun/rookie McNeeley is that bad. We have nothing for P5 or Franz

Magic are currently bottom 3 in offense, which is very much not what I was expecting from them this season. Hopefully that trend continues tonight.

Typical hornets for us to get the magic on their “get your **** together” game. Hopefully not though.

I actually like the fact we are starting Sion. We need some defense in the starting unit.

Half way through the 1st and the rookies have scored all our pts. The bad news is Orlando are on pace for 40pts.

Been bad body language from the get. Sloppy dribbling and passing, little movement on offense, defense a step behind. Lock in, Hornets.

Sexton the only guy making quick decisions, Moose being aggressive.
