GT: Nets vs. Magic 2/24/2020 7:00pm EST 

Post#1 » by MrDollarBills » Mon Feb 24, 2020 2:14 pm

The fight back up to .500 continues tonight vs. Orlando.

This game gives us an opportunity to not only get another win, but also keep Orlando firmly underneath us at the 8th spot so that they can take that beating in the 1st round instead of us.

Orlando has lost 7 out of their last ten games and they are abysmal on the road. No excuses here tonight, we need to continue to establish our identity as the 7th best defensive team in the league while getting good guard play in the backcourt, efficient shooting from the wings, and Jordan, Allen, and Chandler need to hit the glass and defend.

I thought I was the only one.

I’ve watched them against us the last time and I’ve watched them multiple times against other teams but still don’t remember anything either lol

I just remember we let Fultz look like Westbrook in the first meeting.

Orlando has been similar to us. Mysteriously top 10 in defense due to coaching. Awful offense not helped by injuries.

I think it's an important game today. Let's prove we're on another level.

i looked it up today and few places have us outside of top ten which support my eye test :P . just common sense was telling me that sub 500 team just cant be in top ten.

put some zone D and make them jump shooting team, should be easy win. their guards just suck to say it blatant.

Fultz scored 25 and Orlando busted their ass last time they played.

Everyone busted our azz that month including third string scrubs if we start putting things into context. Guess what, this ain't the same BK team from last time and you know that better.

Damn this is huge hit. I really wanted Philly give Bucks a run for their money and maybe to pull an upset. They still scary team with all their struggling. Now with Ben out it's pretty much over, imo he's been top ten player.

Having Temple as our 6th man is huge right now. A great influence on the bench unit.

That's the ideal role for him. Fits it like a glove.

That’s right, I think that was a career high or maybe a season high for Fultz. We had quite a few opponents score career highs against us this season.
