Should we change thread title to Magic starters vs Pelicans backups?

Hopefully, results are different!

Will be in attendance for the first time this year. Hoping to see our starters get some decent playing time. Hoping I don't see a tweet from Josh Robbins a few hours before tipoff that the starters will be resting.

Yesterday Vogel said to the media that he will treat this game like the season opener to make sure the guys are ready. So if anything I'd say the opposite will probably happen.

Only thing I'm worried about is the AG "ankle soreness" hoping it was just an injury excuse for resting him and not turning into a chronic thing.

We need AG healthy. I say we rest those ankles for the opener. Don't want to exacerbate the condition and make it worse. We need him out there.

Vogel says he treats the final preseason game like the regular season. So impress me, Magic. Give me something to be excited about.

I saw that Anthony Davis might play tonight. We need to play well. Get some type of momentum going for next week.

AD will be playing tonite. He's coming back from an ankle injury so even though I don't expect him near 100%, we need to bring it to him. Vuc needs to have one good game. He has been another one who has disappointed this preseason.

Let's go magic !! I'll be at anyway bringing them positive vibes !!! We will win !

So many disappointments thus far in the preseason. I expect the guys to come out strong tonight or they'll hit the bench imo.

We need a slow motion black and white Orlando Magic hype video right about now.

Gotta be careful tonight when we use the 'P' word.....

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins
As expected, the Magic will start Payton, Fournier, Gordon, Ibaka and Vucevic tonight.
