No what we need is for you to suit up and go out there on the court! Fill in for Tatum

BRUH now Jaylen is questionable tonight too? 

Welp, take the points tonight folks...ORL +3.5 and will win outright. There's no way a team without Jrue, Tatum, and Brown can beat the Magic on the road. I'm scared for KP and White as they will mug both of them all night long

Wait, I get 3.5 points if I take Orlando? Not give them? How blindingly obvious is it that the Magic are going to win this game. If I were a betting man, I?d take Orlando all day.*

Mike

Please note: In my history of making phantom bets that were this obvious, I don?t think that I have ever gotten one right.

sure if i was 20 or especially 30 years younger. my nickname 30 years ago when we played adult pickup games right outta school was christian laetner. Can i just be a ref instead for tonight and help us that way?      i can rig the game joey crawford or dick bavetta style. or better yet tim donaghy?

Yep. Go out there and eject Banchero + KCP at tipoff

Some added intrigue. The Celtics just added JB to the injury report with the "right knee impingement." I wonder if they already know Tatum and Holiday are out so they're going to go full rest mode with JB as well.

That?s what I was wondering, as well. Still would have a puncher?s chance with KP, White, and the bench.

Yeah if there is a game to drop this series, this one is it. If JT and Holiday are out, just give Jaylen an extra few days as well. I do hope we don't go beyond 5 games in this series though, no need to play an extra game against this dirty Orlando team

The thing is, will a 1 game rest even help JB with his knee issue?  Someone had posted that short term rest really wasn't going to make a big difference.

We'll have to go deep bench. Sometimes in the NBA when players are playing that haven't really been scouted by the other team it's a crap shoot. It happens all the time in the regular season. If we play those deep bench guys I want to see a lot of hard physical play.

yup, time to step up and make a contribution, even if it is just being 6 hard fouls, and hustling on def and on the boards.

Pritch will go off but I hope some of our bench guys hand out the beating that the Magic are asking for.
