i actually am happier that we lost this game and the way we lost was just icing on the top. all we need is one win and the top 6 of eastern conference is a lock.
i am fairly confident this record would net us a 17th-18th pick, which means some high risk type of guy who are just left out of the lottery.
what would be the difference between getting the 3rd seed and facing 6th seed indiana and getting the 6th seed and facing 3rd seed indiana? should be nothing for a team like orlando.

The lower our draft position the easier it's going to be for us to trade into the lottery.

Bruh, as long as Duhon is on that damn floor in the playoffs the Pacers are capable of beating them.

I can deal with Von not getting minutes because J-Rich is supposedly a legit SG or whatever, which he isn't but that's OK, but Duhon over Ish makes no sense.

the fact that he can't make that simple little adjustment has pushed me over the edge. I will now be on the fire Stan bandwagon.

Anyway, our players have played an incredible game. Awesome hustle. Davis and Anderson were beasts on the court.

It's so crazy, it just might work.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.
- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Dwight needs to develop an eight foot jumper for the pick and pop they run with BBD. If he could hit those, the pick and roll would run so much better and we wouldn't have to post Dwight so often. Its a little harder than just inserting Dwight.

It would work but the problem is that Dwight thinks he's a scorer. If he would be Bill Russell we'd be great. Unfortunately he has to get his.

So let's see:
-Dwight is probably not gonna be 100%
-Ryan Anderson might imitate his idol Casper like he did in the playoffs last year and half of this season
-Duhon will be Duhon
-If Hedo comes back he probably will play like he's been playing since he was traded to Toronto 2 years ago

A key loss for the Magic. A win here would have kept Orlando even with the Hawks. But the way Orlando lost, a firey comeback in the 4th, was very, very good.
Best loss of the season!
