I don't see that happening. They need to get someone to replace Lowry. He is getting older and is interested in leaving.

I would be shocked if they didn't, with Lowry getting older and being interested in joining the Lakers.

I think the Raptors are going to select Suggs to replace Lowry.

I understand that having a good shooter would help the team, but didn't we think Mario was already a shooter with experience? That didn't end well for us. Whether they are a good shooter or not you have to go with who has the most upside. Yes the game is won by teams who put the most points on the board, however great defense can prevent the other team from out scoring your team. Why draft shooters if they could have no defense. The points scored by them would be empty. Just my though on the matter. I hope we get a gem either way.

In my opinion Atkinson is the best option available. However with no news of interviews with him being announced. I feel he may not want to come to Orlando. My prediction is if the team does not get Atkinson, then the next Coach will last 3 yrs at most and we will be back to where we started.

He would make everyone to drink 6 cups of coffee before the game.

Before they created this stupid play in. I felt that the better odds in the draft should go from 9th and down. That way teams would try to win to either get into the playoffs or just miss it for a chance to get first pick.

Listening to The Starting Lineup and they could not say Okeke's name right.

I think Ross is on the injury list. lol

So what is our team going to look like against Portland?

Saw that the Lakers are in talks for Ross.

Didn't watch the whole game, but noticed that after Okeke had a great night guarding Grant the game before he was not guarding him this game. Did he start guarding him later? If not Why?

Cliff needs to go.

Why wasn’t bacon put back in? He was scoring in the paint!

I think it should be looked at. Despite the injuries, he has been bad. Weird lineups, no defense, over coaching and letting the team shoot way to many threes when they are not making them.

It’s not just management that’s been bad. Cliff has been horrible as well. For a defensive coach, we let the other teams shoot easy threes and get to the rim.

Clark started in the last game. Ennis is back as well so maybe they will put him as a starter. If Fournier is out we could see this as our starting lineup. Vucecic, Cole, Bacon, Ennis Clark

Just read that Gordon is not playing in tonight’s game.

This is just a thought, but could they be playing him less to get the team comfortable with playing without him because a trade is the works?

I agree. I feel that power rankings should take into account the record first and then the writer adjusts the location of rank a little, based on opinion. It shouldn’t be on star power or just record. The whole point of it coming out weekly is that changes are expected. So the writer shouldn’t be afraid to move teams up or down. For example with ESPN, a team with 0-2 record should be ranked higher than teams with 2-3 wins.

I was going to share the link as well. I’m surprised how little respect we get from ESPN when Disney owns them and are also on our jerseys. CBS sports has us at 5.

I know it is a preseason game but that ending was weird. Down by 3 and no effort. Fultz looked like he was out of gas but took every shot at the end.

Everyone says the Devos family needs to sell, but what if the future buyer has plans to move the team?

True, he as won us the game a couple of times. I just feel the ball moves easier without him and I still cringe every time he has the ball with a few seconds left in the game.

Very small sample size, but we are now 4-0 when Evan does not play.
