Well this is going to be some kind of special! Lol

Honestly though, how long before we go into another form of shut down? What's happening in the NBA, NFL, Premier League ... teams are barely going to be able to field squads with current covid protocols. Somethings going to have to give

I remember Lavine had it last season and now he has it again. It could just be the new normal and we'll have to learn to live with it.

Agree man, and if this new thing is more transmissable, and does turn out to be super mild, things will have to adapt to not be driven by "positive cases", you know? Otherwise everything will stop.

Either way, let's all get behind Point Franz tonight!

[ChosenSavior]

Franz playing point guard is enough for me to watch this game tonight.

[RichCollab]

I wanted to see Franz at pg. How many pgs does a team need to carry to have a healthy one?

Fultz, Suggs, MCW, Cole, Moore, Hampton….

He will.
He will suck

What is Gortat up to these days? I could have sworn I just saw him on the sidelines while the new guys were getting shots up.

[Howard Mass]

This is going to be interesting tonight.

These guys are going to play hard and it will be fun to watch Franz Wagner as the starting point guard.

Thankfully Miami has some guys out too so this might not be a blowout and teams that are shorthanded can surprise.

Anyone remember how close Indiana kept the game after half their team was suspended for the big Detroit brawl all those years ago?

[Howard Mass]

Let's Go Magic!

Probably him. I believe he lives here, has a house in central FL.

Lol at the way Lopez guarded Dedmon, yeah we're not worried about you shooting the long 2

[JTG_92940618]

Lots of fouls for a team with a G-League bench.

[SOUL]

Want to Franz take over but it's going to be Robin Lopez getting 18 shots

[thelead]

Dat fadeaway…
