People can mock us and keep counting us out but we are still here. Very much alive indeed for that 8th spot we are. . This summer, Magic is about to get over on everyone that trolled us!

Watched all but the last quarter, so I know we were playing well. Had to turn on a movie with my sons but my oldest kept giving me updates. Great showing on national TV.

21 more wins to go.

I do not think the Clippers or Kings finish better than 44-38, they are not consistent enough to do so. If we win 45 we will make the Playoffs. So that tells me 17-10 the rest of the way will do it. Maybe 16-11 will do it and that is real doable.

I am with Robert now and glad that trade didn't go through because we still have all of our young guys and can sign someone big this summer without losing anyone. We still have tons of trade options as well regarding next season. Dell Demps will be in shit land with that crappy team in New Orleans for years now.

[3Peatkb24]

My new motto now for the rest of the season is: Stick it to Demps and make the Playoffs. Karma is a motherfucker isn't it if we make the Playoffs!

Wow! Talk about the best possible medicine to put this trade deadline stress behind these guys as quickly as possible.

WHAT A GAME! Time for a winning streak. Bring 'em on!

Celtics really fucked up in this one. They were looking super sharp for the first 20 minutes, then they just acted like they ate some bad baked beans. Trade deadline blues, or maybe Forum blues and golds for the greenies.

Anyway, nice win without our second-best player

Everytime I talk about our team being bad they pull shit off like this, I love it. I need to keep being negative I guess

It's fuckin LeBron time now and I love Rondo, Lance, and Kuzma. Lance was awesome tonight with his 14! We will get that 8th spot . Here would be my starting 5 and many may laugh but I would roll with,

PG - Rondo
SG - Sir Lance a Lot = still only 28 so still young
SF - LeBron
PF - Kuzma = stretch 4 and very young
C - Chandler, he hustles and plays great defense. He made the play at the end to tip it out to Rondo.

CHEMISTRY AND TOUGHNESS AND A MIXTURE OF YOUNG AND OLDER GUYS!

-Shaq said he would never trade Kuzma and he is clearly the 2nd best player on our team. I agree Shaq, love ya bro.

Only when Lonzo isn't available. Remember that. And Shaq has never been a scout or coach, so fuck his opinion

I would split time with Chandler and McGee and same for Rondo and Ball, have too because Chandler and Rondo are older and need their rest for the stretch run in games. I have said all along that I think Ingram makes a perfect 6th man for most teams. He would provide a boost to the 2nd unit and would do well against the opposing bench players in most cases.

Kyrie:

“Being guarded by Brandon Ingram most of the game, I can’t even lie to you guys, those guys on the defensive end are unusual. Driving lanes that I see against every other team, they were closing down the lane."

One of Ingram's strengths is his length. He did a great job on Kyrie when guarding him, he can shut down most 2nd tier players as well most of the time. Kyrie is a 1st tier player so that was great stuff!
