I'm at a loss for this game. Because I obviously hate the Lakers and want to beat them. But I also want to lose and secure a top pick in the draft.

12 games left. If we lose them all I think we're guaranteed a tie for 2nd worst, since we play Detroit and Minnesota still.

Let's Go Magic and please....... No more injuries.

Summed it up perfectly, my most hated team, but picture time, best odds for the lotto and build for next year

[KillMonger]

According to FiveThirtyEight we have a 80% chance to lose this game

Chuma where TF did that come from!!! Ooooowweeeeee

[ChosenSavior]

BIG CHUM! DAMN BRO!!!

[ChosenSavior]

Chuma took Drummond's soul Shang Tsung style

[clwest25]

Goodness gracious Chuma..that’s his first body

[ChosenSavior]

Mo comes in and swishes a 3 ball right away

[ChosenSavior]

If that isn't a 3, Mo should not shoot it. Awful shot selection.

[PrimeThyme]

It's hard to watch this product. I just have to be honest. Isaac coming back plus two lotto picks (hopefully) should make it a much better one, but right now there are just too many chucking vets and low ceiling young guys eating up minutes for me to force my way through these games.

[ChosenSavior]

These turnovers are pretty ridiculous but not surprised since we have no reliable point guard out there.

[ChosenSavior]

Bamba was undercut on that lob, no call. NBA refs being trash per usual.

[ChosenSavior]

Okeke looking good so far. Starting to get his rhythm back.

[Last Guardian]

Wendell and Chuma are keepers. Maybe Cole as a spark off the bench. The rest of the team is hard to watch. Even a vet like Harris. Maybe he’ll be better when he doesn’t have to do as much

[ChosenSavior]

Yeah Chuma busted out of his slump. Good to have him back.

[thelead]

I would love to see more Mo in the paint like that

[ChosenSavior]

Best post entry pass Cole has made and Bamba with one of the best seals I've seen from him. And on AD nonetheless.
