Well, if Orlando loses by less than 20, I guess that's a moral victory.

I really thought they would let JJJ play already. Is he out longer than JI?

He did? Wow missed it. Was it underwhelming? I would have thought there was gonna be news on that. Unless he couldn't produce like he used to.

If Chuma's wearing a boot, he'll likely be out for the year.

I think he will be shut down regardless as a precaution.

There is barely two weeks left.

Wagner already as many starts as Bamba.

For the season maybe not for the year. Unless the injury is worse than we thought?

I’m sure he means season when he said year

While I say "Let's Go Magic!", I want The Magic to play well, be in each game but not win too many games so they maintain their Lottery position. This helps increase their Top-4 odds and also decreases how far they can fall back.

Embarrassing for both the magic and Bamba… more so for a team that uses a high lotto pick on a player and never gives him a real opportunity 3 years in… all while a scrub that is cut multiple time this year, walks on and gets the start.

We are starting with a kind of big lineup tonight. Mo Wagner will get an extended test drive tonight, maybe in the near future as well. I am starting to like that German guy, he is serviceable and might be useful next year from the bench, especially if we get rid of Bambi in the summer.

Not a good look for Slo' Mo' if he's fallen behind yet another newcomer on this team in an injury-riddled season. Ty Corbin is not a fan of his talents as well.

Yeah a tanking year and he's averaging 13.8 mpg.
