Bane is ok if he is guarding the 3rd best player on the other team. Not sure if he would be all that effective vs the 1.

Atlanta should play hard since they got stomped by Toronto at home. The question for this game is whether Orlando can get organized enough in game 2 to hold them off. Otherwise it will get messy like game 1.

Atlanta is a lot like Miami were it seems like ever game we play then it's always close. The magic need to play better defense to win this one cause Atlanta is a better offensive team then Miami. I'm not sure how this one will turn out but I really hope they go 3-0 this home stand. Tyus guarding trae young scares me. We really need Jalen tonight. And a big game from one of our big 3. Hopefully we get a better Issac tonight as well. Go magic

You gotta expect ATL to go all out this game. They got embarrassed their 1st game after all their hype. They want to prove something.

Alright broskis and one sis that I am aware of, let’s do this! I feel a statement win over Atl, a team predicted to do well this year. Let’s see our guys learn how to apply pressure and keep it applied all game long.

We shouldn’t be worried about the Hawks. They should be worried about us!

The way Mosley was talking before the game makes me think Suggs won’t be playing tomorrow or any back to backs anytime in the near future.

I know we're all excited about being a better shooting team this season and all that, but against this perennially bad Hawks defense, with no Porzingis to boot, I would be attacking the basket all night.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
