    We'll be shorthanded. This is the Magic's best chance to win, cuz they're basically playing against Lin and the bench.

    Hennigan is following the ingenious Thunder Model of tanking for multiple top 5 picks.

    Truly a brilliant and innovative strategy.

    let's see what the coaching staff does tonight in terms of creating an
    lin-centric offense with a million high screens and spread out shooters

    it would be a good chance to see what jeremy can do

    Harden out so Lin dominating the ball and only 4 turnovers? You're adorable!

    Lin had 38 points and 2 TOs against the Spurs when Harden was out. Unlikely (especially with his recent play and Parsons being out) but possible.

    I'm a Lin fan..but he does that like once a year. He's just a high turnover player. He also gets his teammates a ton of easy looks. I'll take it.

    Just saying...4 TOs when he's gonna be dominating the ball is pie in the sky optimistic.

    err... we are unlikely to see anything different than what we've seen this year. the staff won't/can't install a new offense this late in the season and expect the team to execute against it. heck, they can't even execute what they've been practicing all season, much less something completely new in one day of practice. this isn't xbox.

    Interesting isnt it? I loved Harden a lot before he even landed in Houston, it's probably a hangover of isoheroball that's responsible for it...let's call it isoheroball poisoning:grin:

    How the hell is every game we play against a bad team a trap game?

    The Magic almost beat us last time when we had everybody healthy. Missing Harden and Parsons.

    Can't have a trap game against a better team now can you? Orlando has dangerous players that can sting us if we don't come ready to play.

    My bud Tobias Harris is gonna go off tonight.
