    Something tells me winning a game is going to feel really special this season. Like a holiday, happens only a few times a year

    agreed with all of your assessments except for the first.

    scoot hasn't showed anything redeemable yet.

    Yeah, strange dynamics tonight to say the least. On a good note for me nobody cared as I just walked around the club level and even walked into a much better seat since nobody was paying attention. :)

    We might be able to beat the pistons and the Wizards. Outside of those teams though I'm at a loss how we get anymore wins unless stars are rested against us

    I think you're onto to something. But the writing is too coherent for Rudy.

    Looks like a young team with talent...Similar to what they said about Orlando last year. Took them 25 games to figure it out. No worries

    On a positive note, the team did improve it's play from the Clippers game.

    Disagree. He had a nice spurt in the first half.

    I agree. He’ll only thrive if it’s a run and gun offense at this point

    Well.......... the Magic are significantly worse than the Clippers. The true litmus test will be the Pistons and Wizards. If we can't beat them.....
