Magic 6.5 point favorites tonight. I *believe* this is their largest favored spread of the season.

My strategy is to curtail minutes to our two catapult launchers, TRex (Cole) and Torch. Combined they are capable of putting up +- 40 points.

Both represent daggers to the throat of the Tank

SGA out...BS

We need to counter with ankle soreness to TRex and Torch.

OKC is playing the TANK GAME TO TO HIGHEST LEVEL.

If we win, we are really risking a top pick.

It's funny listening to the OKC announcer talk about how the Orlando Magic have "fallen on hard times" like they arent 20-50.

Franz completely uninvolved to start. The RJ/Cole show. Unwatchable.

I haven't given up on Pokusevski being a good NBA player yet either.

Fultz is good at creating separation on those mid-rangers, but I still don't think he's good at actually making them.

Keep TRex (Cole) and Torch off the court...the others will struggle to get a bucket...near shot clock violation show.

One of Fultz's worst stretches since his return.

Get WC off the court. Let him sit the 3rd Qtr.

I'm sick of David Steele calling him "Weeendeell Carter Juniooor" just say WC, Steele.
