Vucevic is going to feast tonight.

Reddick got traded by Orlando for Tobias and now they both play/start together. Full circle.

Tbh, sometimes it’s easier for me to just pretend that Tobias doesn’t even exist. Every time I think about that trade it still hurts a little. Especially when you consider the haul that LA got for him.

Anyways, I think this will be a close loss tonight. Vuc should have a huge game with no Joel. A win wouldn’t surprise me though with how up and down this team is.

Every game is huge from here on out. Picking up a win here would be really nice since we keep pissing away games. The whole "win against good teams and lose against bad teams" thing doesn't necessarily mean anything for tonight. It's a lot easier to lose against a bad team than it is to win against a good team.
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.

Vuc feasts against his old team. Tross holds reddick to a low percentage. DJ bounces the ball harder than ever.

I’m off work and get to watch this game, so let’s win it!

Big loss for our bench tonight. Definitely does explain his drop in play especially on the defensive end.

I wonder where those minutes go. We can assume Iwundu's minutes will be extended some. I doubt we go all the way down to Frazier or Caupain. It will probably be Briscoe and Grant together, and maybe some Jarell Martin (not at SG, obviously).

We really need Ross to be good in order to be in these games. Going to be tough sledding tonight.

Amir Johnson has always played well against us. He's no Embiid, but the Sixers will still have an unsung Magic Killer in there.

DJ Augustin is going to get burned on that play all night.

Offense is fine but we're getting killed by JJ, predictably.

I love JJ, he's one of my favorite players ever. But I'm sick of him being in god mode against the Magic.

You would think he's small enough to go between the legs of the defender and pop out the other side for the block.

A pathetic defensive effort to start once again. We are never consistently going to just outscore teams. Don't play defense and we won't make the playoffs.
