Tonight, on our first 3 game winstreak of the season, we take on the 7-25 Orlando Magic, one of only three teams with fewer wins than we currently have. The Magic are 2-8 over their last 10, and 3-15 over their last 18. They are not a good team whatsoever, falling into the bottom 5 in both Defense and Offense so far this year (at 24th in both, we have narrowly moved out of that category of specific awfulness).
This is also our last game before Christmas, given that we do not have a Christmas Day game this year, so it would be nice to pick up a win against a team that's clearly not finding much success this season. We'll see how that goes.
I haven't been particularly active on the forum recently for a number of reasons - mostly just starting the game threads - and so I would like to take a brief moment at the end of this game opening thread to just say Merry Christmas to everyone, happy holidays to those who may not celebrate Christmas (not sure how many of you there are on this board but still, thought that counts) and I hope everyone has a great time over the next few days.
Let's see if we can pull out a win.
