    I'll be in the stands for this one. Somehow my dad got tickets in Row 70? He says it's the tektronix suite or something. I have no idea if that's even possible. Think there's a chance he got ripped off?

    Should be a winnable game regardless that it is the first home game after a road trip.

    If he's expecting a win it's quite possible he did waste his money.

    from now on, im expecting us to lose every game, so after we win, ill actually be pleasantly surprised

    thats much better strategy than expecting us to win and just be disappointed after we lose

    Oh and make sure you don’t say anything negative about Nurk. Heck don’t even post about negative things that Nurk is involved with.
    You’ll be fine around here.

    Stop telling people how to feel. If you don't want to worry, fine. Let everyone else do them.

    The Magic are way better than what their record indicates; this will not be an easy game by any means, especially with the way we have played of late. Do we have more talent than them? Certainly. Will we prove that Tuesday and get a much needed win? Fuck knows. But I will be watching, cursing,clapping, etc as always.

    IMO this is the beginning of the part of the the season that turns it around. Jan 10 has been the target to this point.
    Very happy they made it through the first half the season and are still in the hunt.

    Yes! Quite comfortable here on the ledge. A bit slippery from the rain but things are looking up!
