Gut check time for these guys tonight. They've made their road extremely tough to qualify for the playoffs but the Magic still have a chance.

If this was any other year or coach I would be rooting for a loss just for the aftermath. Not this year, the tank was in the garage too long. 14 games left. No more time.

No questions asked that this is a must win.

Lose tonight and it's time to tank down to the 7th overall pick.

I really don't want to watch, but what choice do I have? This is our curse.

I guess Q-Rich got let go from Detroit along with Stan. Interesting that he's here as part of the broadcast crew. He was a disappointment as a free agent signing (I thought he would be an upgrade over Matt Barnes, but he was terrible), but he was a good pro. I wonder if there's any mutual interest in him joining the staff in some capacity. He wants to be a head coach. Or did at one time, at least.

Need both centers to protect the rim better tonight. There was a runway last night to the hoop.

Sexton has some of the quickest feet. Looks like an NFL receiver

Isaac becoming a no-hesitation 40% 3PT shooter would be such a great thing for him and the Magic both moving forward.

Lazy transition defense by Cleveland. They didn't have to switch, but Isaac recognized that Sexton was on him and went straight into the post and called for the ball. He drew the double and kicked out to the perimeter where Cleveland had one defender to cover two shooters. Isaac won't get the assist, but he made that play happen. Beautiful basketball.

Yeah get outta here scrub, you're no match for allstar Nikola Vuuuuucevic.

The Cavs are bad, but being home makes such a massive difference in energy and effort.

Please continue to destroy these bums. That was a nice 1st quarter by Orlando. Imposing their will against Cleveland so far.

Great quarter.

Even Fournier making shots. We might win this thing.

Ross is moving the ball better tonight than he has in weeks.

Soft defense certainly helps.

Post #18 » by **ChosenSavior** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:37 pm

Ross looking to pass more is a welcomed sight. His gravity opens up the floor. Someone took him aside and had him watch tons of film. If he keeps this up, it'll allow him to get cleaner looks for himself down the line.

Imagine that, when Evan, AG, and Ross make shots, we tend to have a better chance of winning games.

Ross's passing opens himself up for a easy 3 point look. Keep it up please.
