    I keep going back to Phil Jackson's claims back in the day about how elite teams win 40 games before losing 20. We're on pace for that, but I'm hoping for 30 before 10. I foresee us getting back on track soon enough

    Is that the most undersized starting lineup in NBA history?

    Maxiell is a 6'7" Center, Big Baby is listed at 6'9" for some reason but is really like 6'6" or 6'7", Afflalo's like 6'4 and Nelson's a midget by NBA standards.

    More 3 pointers I say!!

    Orlando's last 4 losses were by a combined 55 points. The last 4 losses for Portland were by a combined 9 points.

    As long as Nelson and Afflalo don't go crazy, we should be fine.

    Hopefully, we blow the Magic out so CJ can finally make his debut

    Time to staunch the bleeding and get right in the head. I'd love to see focus and execution from start to finish.

    Hopefully. I'll be there so it would be nice to see CJs first NBA game.

    It's hardly a flesh wound - nothing a Sponge Bob band-aid and some Neosporin can't remedy.

    True, but I'd really prefer a 30+ blowout and 47-48 minutes of serious game face, if it's all the same to you.

    And maybe also the Sponge Bob band-aid.

    Vucevic is out I think which is a good thing, he's a great young center

    Yup. I still don't know exactly what the concussion tests and such are, and you'd think I'd know with N. Smith, Batum, and other having dealt with that process the past 2 seasons.

    Whatever the test is, it's apparent he did not pass it:

    STATUS
    Out - Vucevic (concussion) will likely be out for a "significant period of time," NBA.com reports. (about 5 hours ago)

    Was anyone else looking forward to a Watson/Price match-up to finally put to rest who is the better PG? Really shocked by the "Lillard vs Curry" threads. This is the real story.
