1st.

Ugh Monta always kills us seemingly. This is a loss imo. They have two go to scorers on the wing who can blow a game wide open. We do not. If this game is close Ellis or George will bury us.

I'd really like to see what Mario could do over a 3-5 game stretch getting 25 min a game.

Unleashed Mario
Because skiles scares everybody on team, a specially mario and ag to play attractive basketball

Will be interesting to see who gets minutes at backup PG tonight. Shabazz not shooting well and not distributing. Not like we have a great flow on offense to begin with but I don't see much of a point of having him out there . He got 27 minutes the other night against Detroit, I'd expect that to be significantly less tonight.

Hoping we can get a couple of plays in for Gordon and Hezonja tonight.

Any updates on Elf?

Lol this might be one of the times where skiles is forced to play hezonja whether he wants to or not....."mistakes" and all

What happens if we lose again? Do we drop out of the 8th spot?

AG at PG. Do it.

Once again another team that has given us fits over the last couple of years.. don't rrally see how that changes tonight... I think is another L unfortunately.. we just aren't playing good basketball right now and indy has pg13. We struggle with star players. Hopefully we play hard atleast and give us a chance to win. In all GO MAGIC

If Fournier is also out this will be a good time to shuffle the lineup and not hurt anyone's feelings. Put Mario and AG in there. Let the bench play through Nicholson.

Marble better get ready to play more than Mario if Mario misses his first shot.

I'd really like to see what Mario could do with plays actually ran and designed for him, something very similar to the plays that are ran for the likes of Korver/Thompson even Reddick has plays ran for him.

Maybe skiles has difficult his own rookie days so that is a reason?
Or rookie put him on the bench when he was veteran at his last plays so...?
