Might need to pay him to keep him. You just made me get a little gassy. Please please let Gary find a new team to burden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since I already prepared a game thread starter for the playoffs, do you want it to be designated as for game 1 (only) of the first round--meaning, show a date, time, and place for game 1. Please tell me specifically what to do. I will understand if you want a dedicated game thread starter for each game separately. I can also understand if you want it to be left open for everyone who wants to do one. I will be out of town for the entire month of may and I won't be able to do anymore after the opening thread. Let’s do a per game game thread to start. If game 2 gets here and there’s not another specific game thread for it we can pivot and just make it the round 1 thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,488 Report post Posted April 18 With Jimmy Butler injured Miami might actually lose the 8/9 game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orlandoholic 134 Report post Posted April 18 so it’s Miami vs Bulls. Butler is down, but it won’t matter. The coaching in Miami is far superior. The Heat team is scrappy and will advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 460 Report post Posted April 18 Happy to see the Heat and Warriors going fishing, wish LeBron was joining them. I'm hoping someone knocks Boston and Denver out and someone new can win it all. Why not us? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear Mitchell has missed 15 of the last 21 games as well with knee ailments. I'm hopeful we can take one of the first 2 games in Cleveland. We're very good at home this season.

If he balls out like you’re suggesting in the playoffs , I’d keep him in mind as a backup plan if going hunting for a bigger fish fails, but I wouldn’t pay him a lot long term. The off-season is going to be interesting. There’s a few obvious guys with guaranteed spots, but I’d say at least half the roster is available via trade if an opportunity presents itself. The Magic are 35-19 with Gary and 12-16 without him. Now, much like last season and Markelle with point guard play I think there's an element of "is it really Gary or is it just having a 2 way guard who can space the floor?" To be considered but nevertheless that's a compelling stat when we're talking about bringing Gary back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be considered but nevertheless that's a compelling stat when we're talking about bringing Gary back. Harris is not making anything exceptional, but it's solid and in our situation, is a good fit for what we have. There could also be an argument that we're not maximizing him, with our lack of ball movement and spacing. When he's hot from 3's he could make the difference, potentially an X-factor for our series.
