6 straight wins to .500? :)

Is doable. In fact, we can do 7 in a row. The biggest game Will be the one in Washington.

Just gotta prevent Jeff "only made 4 threes once in a Magic uniform but has made 4+ threes against the Magic twice this season alone" Green from going off again.

Orlando Magic swingman Aaron Gordon knows what to expect tonight when the Dallas Mavericks and rookie phenom Luka Doncic invade Amway Center.

Gordon will draw most of the defensive assignments against Doncic and he says he’s ready for the task.

“[Doncic is] real shifty, can shoot the ball with a lot of range and he’s big enough to make plays all over the floor, high-IQ player,” said Gordon, who has good size and will try to use his 6-foot-9, 220-pound frame to his advantage in defending Doncic. “He’s gonna be really good for years to come. He’s already good. You gotta be locked in … can’t fall asleep.”

Doncic is averaging 20.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and Gordon figures he’ll be likely seeing more than 30 pick-and-roll plays set up to get the 6-foot-7 swing-forward freed up to show off his shooting ability.

“Yeah that’s about right, around 30 to 40 pick-and-rolls, so you just gotta be chasing, constantly in pursuit, making everything difficult and being locked in,” Gordon said.

Magic coach Steve Clifford, who said Wes Iwundu will also be assigned the task of trying to stop Doncic when in the rotation for Gordon, as will players like lengthy Johnathan Isaac. Clifford said Doncic is a far different player than what the Magic saw in a loss at Dallas in December.

Good luck with that AG. I just hope AG does not foul out chasing Doncic.

We all know that AG fouls early and often in games. However, I hope he is successful and we get the win.

Hopefully, between AG and Iwandu guarding Doncic, we come out the winner.

Haven't really watched the Mavs much at all this season. Looking forward to see Doncic play and hopefully a Magic win.
