Dodged a returning player - Wolves at Magic GDT

Q commented on our run of playing teams with a key player returning just in time for the Wolves: Kawhi with the Clippers, Zion with the Pels, Banchero with the Magic, and Ja with the Griz. But the Magic have announced that Banchero will return for their Friday night game against the Bucks, not tonight's game against the Wolves. A bullet dodged, I guess...

The Magic are severely wounded, with Banchero, Suggs, Harris, and both Wagners out. Yet, they continue to play hard and win some games, including their last game against the Knicks (sans KAT). And as I recall, Jonathan Isaac just destroyed the Wolves last time we played them. So I don't expect a gimee.

Can ANT stay hot? Can our new lineup combinations keep improving their chemistry? We seem to have something brewing lately, so I'm anxious to see this game play out.

How the heck did they beat the Knicks at MSG without one player averaging in double figures on the season?! I like the way we're playing so I'd lay the 6 1/2 points tonight...we got this one.

My preferred starting backcourt to start the season is in again tonight!

Dang! ANT is hotter than shit!

Rudy with some good stuff. And not much to complain about Randle, either…

Good start, but we are getting hurt in the paint.

Bench unit is doing stupid stuff. A lot of forced shots by NAW. Fortunately, the Magic can’t score either.

Randle does do stuff that no one else on our team can do…

The wolves are refusing to put the magic away

We’ve come out in the 2nd half like we think it’s over. Hopefully the Finchie timeout has the same result it had against the Pels!
