I'm not sure about this game. We play away game with a team which record suggests we're at the similar level. But Pacers has George who lights it up recently. And we all know how referees favor superstars in this league. I'm not getting my hopes up.

I feel like CJ Miles is that guy lol.. he was out last game, of course, I think he's playing tonight? maybe?

This one will be tough but this new skiles coached magic team is pretty tough. My guess is we win.

Let's goooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Can actually catch this game live for once so I'm pretty stoked to enjoy the game. A W would be nice but I just would like to see our guys continue to fight and improve. 30 mins from AG would be amazing but doubt that happens

Stucky is a card holding magic killer, really hope he doesn't play.

Big game for the back court, how they do with Skiles system on D - Paul George namely. Front line will be tough just by missing 2 of our bigs (and as such having to rely a bit more on Frye).

I get the feeling we are better than our record reflects, so this is just another game to demonstrate that.

I think Lavoy Allen starts at the 4 for them... could be wrong though.

If there were ever a game to have no big men this would be it. They might have the worst big men rotation in the league, if you don't count PG13. Myles Turner, Lavoy Allen, Ian Mahinmi, Jordan Hill. Their rookie is the best out of them all yikes.

Don't mean to be a broken record but Andrew Nicholson would help us out this game! Jamon Skiles play our cold cuts grabbing big man!

Looks like they will both play... latest update: "After both were listed as questionable tonight, "Rodney and C.J. are both going to try to play." Vogel said that C.J. Miles will start.

Asked about Victor Oladipo's play on defense, Scott Skiles said Oladipo's D is at an All-NBA level.

good to hear...this young core doesn't develop by catching lucky injury breaks but by learning how to beat all levels of teams on the court

This one is going to be hard... just has that feeling. They can win of course but have to listed the mistakes that have been killing them all season. Second chance points/offensive rebounds, unforced errors & tunrovers. Also have to convert on their turnovers... hoping for a win tonight against a team we are in the same ball park in. Go magic
