Big, big night.

Let's go Magic, Wolves and Thunder!

[pepe1991]

Miles Plumlee is still in nba?
Why ?

[3ddman23]

Must win!!! Comtrol young. Control the game. It's that simple. I would stick bigger bodies on him all game. Gordon, wes, mcw, issac need to be on him all game. I know it wont happen but he is going to torch Augustin if he is guarding him. If we win this then there is a big chance this team makes the playoffs. Go magic

[rcklsscognition]

We may wind up with some more MCW+DJ units tonight depending on how the foul calling goes. Hopefully the Amway is rocking tonight, last regular season home game. Trae is very hot/very cold depending on where he shoots from. If we can force him right and keep him from killing us with chippy floaters we should easily handle them.

A must win game! Let's go Magic!

It seems to me that Cliff's defensive game plan all season has been based on forcing opposing guards to hit lightly challenged floaters. The ball defender goes over the screen to try to take away the pull-up three and our center sinks deep into the paint to take away the lob pass.

I expect that we will continue with that game plan. It's actually worked pretty well when the ball defender doesn't get stuck to the screen.

Trap game. Be careful, guys.

[pepe1991]

Don't know about you guys but i was hyping myself by listening to mine national team songs

[glennathan]

OT: If we can get this W tonight and put ourselves in a good spot for the Playoffs I would have to think Steve Clifford should be coach of the year

Back on topic I strongly feel this is a trap game and we need to do everything possible to pressure Trae Young

Just a reminder that there were actually posters on this board that considered Trae a guaranteed bust

[Mauro Pedrosa]

Let's go baby

[ChosenSavior]

Augustin cannot die on those screens on the pick and roll. I actually think he will have a good game offensively tonight against Trae. Have to dominate the boards, take care of the ball and win the bench battle because Atlanta looks really decimated on the injury front. And please play some consistent defense for 48 minutes.

Continue to fight for the playoffs Orlando!

Totally forgot it was Fan Appreciation Night. Last home game snuck up on me this year.

Let's Go Magic!

Vooch to the fans: "We hope to see you in the playoffs."
