Game 36 Wolves at Magic 25-10
As usual a star player will be missing from our opponents lineup.
FRANZ WAGNER

Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Timberwolves. Wagner will miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. The team hasn't provided a substantial update on Wagner's return timetable, so he can be considered day-to-day for now. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Miami. In Wagner's absence, Caleb Houstan and Chuma Okeke are candidates for increased roles.

As a new tradition for this type of thread, I suggest we post links to the opposing teams injury report. That way before game time we can get an update by just clicking the link. We could do the same for us as well if you guys like the idea.

McDaniels has a chance to redeem himself after abysmal DAL game, by locking Banchero up

If Paolo does that all game, he is going to get cooked by Jaden.

Re: Game 36 Wolves at Magic 25-10
Orlando has fallen back to earth (lost 8 of last 13), but right now are on a two game winning streak, including a win at Denver.
This is the doldrums of the NBA season, where teams at the top of the standings struggles to bring high energy every night. BOS lost again last night, and MIL, PHI and MIN are all 5-5 in their last ten. I don’t know what effort level Orlando (or us, to be frank) will show up with. We have better talent, but this is a very loseable game from a young team with good defense.

Who is the young team with good defense in this case ?

Hopefully we win by half time and not dragging it out to double OT.

That would be nice. It would be great to give Minott, Moore, Miller, ect… a full quarter of NBA basketball.

We'll see if the wolves graduated this year, as they don't have good luck in Orl if memory serves me correctly.

Re: Game 36 Wolves at Magic 25-10
The Thunder are right on our heels and looking to take that number one spot. They hope to have it by the end of the week. This will be a hard game but would be a good quality win. If we can get this game and the Boston game I would consider this 16 game stretch a pretty good success despite some of the disheartening losses, that would be a really good record for 16 games, some major quality wins, and the fact that the team manage all of that while largely on the road and not playing at their best would spell tremendously good things for our future. Already we can't go worse than .500 so I consider this stretch to be a W but going 10-6 would put it over the top even though I think we have taken a step back with our play.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Well that's helpful! Still, Banchero and Suggs have been playing very well. I feel good about the ability to get a win, but not comfortable with how pretty it might be.

Today is my 65th birthday so those who like calling me old man it's official. I've been a sports fan for 55 of those years. One thing I've learned is winning pretty doesn't mean diddly. A win is a win is a win is a win is a win. Let's take care of business and get a W.

I remember early on I couldn't figure out if you were older or really young based on your takes and passion.
