GAMETHREAD: ORLANDO @ LA Lakers

[Tough Break There 96]

I think this is a big quarter for this version of the Magic. Lose here, and I don't see a W for the next 5 (home or not) and maybe not even until the Knicks (are we WORSE then the Knicks?). That's, what, 12 L's in a season with at least some expectations?

 

Big changes after that. All over the place.

 

Win, ya never know, maybe you get something going, here's a Friday night drink to that.

Lin plays intense.

Frye might have the most threes that find a way to rim in in the league.

We probably win this game because the lakers aren't competant enough to put us away. We play elite fourth quarter defense.

 

Or maybe we aren't losing by enough so we won't be desperate enough for a win.

The league should give us a break and count those for a 1/2 point.

Maybe, I see desperation right now though. Up and down the bench. I think the team knows what this means.

On the bright side, Aaron Gordon could play any day now.

I forgot why nicholson stopped playing. These last 2 minutes reminded me

Is it too soon for the obligatory "why do our starters need to rest" post in every gamethread?

How are we allowing the Lakers to outrebound us by double digits?

I'd say we're about ready.
