Do we win or lose this one? No once can stop Vuc in their lineup but Brown is gonna go off espe without Tatum. Hmmmmm.....

P.S. Shouldn't Chuma be back already?

i understand cliffords reasoning for typically bringing Ross off the bench (sparkplug, instant offense for 2nd unit), but considering Fultz\evan\isaac are all out.....Shouldnt STARTER scoring take presendent over bench scoring? WOuldnt it be good to say....stay competitive from the start?

I know its a crazy concept, insane even, but.........

1) Cliff isn't a good coach
2) Tanking?
3) When Ross is bad... he is BAD

It seems like longer, but he's only been out since January 1st.

1 - kinda agree
2 - no need, its not tanking when youre bad lol
3 - true, but so are bacon and ennis

All im saying is with everyone out, id take my chance with ross starting and hopefully keeping us in games from the starter instead of forcing him to try and get us back in games

This is some sloppy, lackluster BS, sadly 2 plays in a role involving our rookie

Those 2 live ball turnovers by Anthony are a killer.

Blow it up. Vuc doesn't deserve this.

Announcer 1: (while going through the Magic roster) “Bamba might play tonight”

Announcer 2: “Hey, that’s good for us!”

— everyone laughs —

Announcer 2: “What? It is! He can’t guard us!”

They also thought he was playing tonight after saying he wasn't playing because of Covid... so they aren't very bright up there.
