Suggs/Bane/Franz/Paolo/WCJ starting
Jones/Black/TDS/Isaac/Goga off the bench

with Jase moving to the green goblin group.

I fully expect Jett to be in the rotation at least until the 31st.

I expect an 11 man rotation, maybe even 12 for a bit tbh. They've been preaching their depth is the key to this year.

If Jett plays the way he did in the preseason and if we continue to play at a high pace, Jett should see some time. He actually looked like a more complete NBA player. Tyus and AB should still be the first two guards off the bench when we're healthy, but I'd put Jett as the third guard right now.

Let's go!

So exciting that Suggs is available. Curious to see minute distribution and rotations.

The quest for a top 15 offense begins tonight.

I want to see Jase today. I really tho I he’ll be a good pro and I want him to get as much experience as he can against NBA players.

Not sure we see him unless it is a blowout, but who knows what Mose has up his sleeve. We have back to back Fri/Sat so maybe one of those games is more likely.

I'm not really expecting an 11-man rotation and certainly not a 12-man rotation. We'll see how it goes, but I think it's going to be 10 for now with a couple of guys who probably think they should be playing (and certainly would be playing on a worse team) not getting burn.

I hope I wake up to see we've won our first game of the season!

Miami will be hungry for a win after going winless in the preseason. Jovic is becoming one of the league's up and coming Magic Killers, joining veteran Magic Killer Norman Powell.

Given how hyped we are for this season (literally the most hyped we have been in over a decade), a loss here in the home opener against a rival would feel really bad. For the sake of us fans and our sanity, they really need to get this one for us. I always try to moderate my hype so I won't be too let down, and I definitely have this feeling in my gut that we have set ourselves up for a letdown right out of the gate with how optimistic we've been feeling for months now. But I really hope I'm wrong and they just win. With no injuries.

Don't worry bro, I can keep up. Like a marathon, some can maintain a sub-4/km pace for all 42km

As a Magic veteran, you know " refs you bum" vocabulary has been ingrained in us since the D12-era

I'm at 21 years too, going on 22. I was only 16 years old when I joined, now I'm an old man. As long as I'm alive, and both RealGM and the Orlando Magic exist, I will be here.
