The barrage of 3s will come. I just hope ORL can withstand it and fight through it. No way Cleveland continue their 3 point slump.

Bruised rib.

Orlando doesn’t have a good record when we play teams without their starters. For whatever reason it just confused the team and then the opposing team just goes crazy.

Usually, players miss a few weeks with bruised ribs. He could be out for the series.

This injury is huge for us. Mobley can’t guard both Franz and Paolo at the rim. Very likely we get some mismatches with them going small.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

They won’t go small. They will probably insert Tristian Thompson in the lineup. I remembered he had a good game against us. I don’t think our team know how to guard him.

This is exactly what I'm worried about. They will move Mobley to 5 and slide some one in there that will burn us tonight. Or someone from the bench will kill us from 3( merriel).

Allen has arguably been there best players this series but you just know how things work against this team when a key player is out.

This could be huge, but it could also backfire on the magic if they don't lock in.

He is a offensive rebounding machine. If we don't control him om the glass the second chance points could get out of hand.

JA is out? Dang... we are in trouble.

Every time an important player from our opponent is out, instead of being favored we somehow fold. MAGIC CURSE???

Too many "negative nellies"
With Allen out they are weakened considerably - Magic by 15!

Return to Orlando Magic
