Thoughts

Portland is a team with amazing talent, but have unfortunately unable to win games recently. Brandon Roy has looked sluggish and the team has been dealing with injuries as well. Greg Oden is out after that horrific knee injury. Overall, I think the Magic have very good chances of winning this one, although, we have to bring our best. Do not underestimate them because they're still one of the top teams in the West despite all the injuries.

Andre Miller will hit a 3.

He's only 8-34 on the year for 23.5%, but he'll drill one.
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.

Although these guys really upset me tonight. Lets start another winning streak against Portland.

P.S. Hey Magic players the game starts at 7 pm, not 7:47p, not 8:51p. Come ready to actually play, thanks.

The guys need to get back on track in a hurry. Forget the last game.

DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN THIS GAME.

i hope stan will finally give the bench much needed minutes other than garbage time. if the starters aren't producing, the reason we have a deep bench is to give these guys time to find their "touch"

what's the point in having a deep team if you don't intend to utilize it?

Portland's played well recently, but we've been pretty inconsistent, especially on the road. Even with your recent struggles, Orlando has to be considered the favorites at HOME.

Portland is a good young talented team, if we play like last night they could blow us out too.


Magic are coming off a rough loss to the Heat, in which they played lazy and sluggish.






Key to this game; Bass MUST play, even with Oden out Portland has Aldridge, Pryzbilla, Ju Howard and Pendegraph and some big guards/SF's . They could easily out rebound us if SVG continues with this ONLY STRETCH 4 rotation.








Magic come out motivated and win by 7

I was watching last night and thinking something. How many people would have thought a few years ago that we would have actually brought in JJ on purpose to guard D. Wade. JJ did an ok job on Wade when I was watching him.

JJ has worked his butt off to get to where he is, I wish all our guys worked as hard as he does!

I do not know what kind of team will show up for this game but hopefully the good one. We need some w's.

I really really really do not want to get emabarassed on Christmas day by the Celts. I cannot take their arrogant fans and Rondo's smug face. For my Christmas present, I want a depressed Ben Afflack and Jennifer Garner on Christmas How about you?
