The Grizz have something to play for, so I expect we'll get slaughtered tonight.

This game doesn't mean anything to us, except momentum possibly, so everyone needs to come out of this one healthy.

i expect wafer,liggins,ish,earl,harper,orton and Hedo to get some significant time tonight....so we'll probably get slaughtered but i'll still watch to see the young guys get some big minutes....

I hope every one of the scrubs logs 30+ minutes.

Nothing to play for. Good time for some guys to log heavy minutes and hopefully get them more prepared to face the Pacers.

FREE LIGGINS, ISH, ORTON and HARPER. Bench JRich, QRich, BBD, Meer and any other player that has any type of lingering injuries.

Magic shoulda brought in some D-Leaguers for this game.

Almost certainly a loss. Memphis is still playing for home court, and hopefully we give our young guys heavy minutes.

I am actually more interested to see our draft pics and younger guys this game.

That's what I expect to happen as well. The 6th seed is owned now.

Let the good times roll.

Magic aint winning this one, back on the road and the Grizzlies are better than the Jazz and Nuggets.

I bet SVG will play everybody their regular minutes. Probably say something along the lines of "we need all the practice we can get," since the team is still learning to play without Dwight.

You're most likely correct.

Good thread SD. I think the regular rotation is going to start the game for the most part, but then we'll resort to the bench to finish out the game so that guys can start to get rest for the playoffs.

I agree with most that we probably will not get this game since Memphis has a chance to get home court in the first round with the Clips losing last night. However anything can happen in the NBA, I just want to see us play hard, play smart and continue to promote good ball movement on offense. LET'S GET IT!

Playoffs start Saturday. The Starters will need their rest and no need for injuries. Bring on the Young-Uns. I am sure Stan will play the starters for most of the 1st and half the 3rd, then young-uns the rest of the way.

Is Anderson playing?

If he does, it probably won't be for long...

The Magic close the regular season on Thursday in Memphis against the Grizzlies. Head coach Stan Van Gundy said the team will use its Thursday morning walkthrough to begin preparations for the Pacers and will likely rest the starters against the Grizzlies.

Thanks, I figured after Big Baby got hurt he may not play. Just wondering should I bench him in fantasy.
