The Magic are 15-8 and have lost just twice in what has been basically a month.
Their defense is legitimately insane.
With good size at pretty much every possession, scoring on them is certainly a challenge.

On the other side, you have the Bucks.
One would think they’re back right?
Hawks at Knicks (at MSG)
Trae Young at MSG.

What more needs to be said?
We all remember the 2021 playoff series.
It could be Knicks/Hornets and they still chant it.
As fans, we want juice.
Well, that’s exactly what this matchup gives us!
As a fan of chaos, who wouldn’t want that?
That and PJ Washington’s unsustainable shooting, but really the glass problem was the main culprit.
Agenda pushing like you read about.
Warriors vs Rockets (in HOU)
The Warriors are in a free fall at the moment.
So why is this game exciting?
Backed by a top 3 defense, this is your classic old guard vs new guard key in game.
Plus, we get a nice little 2022 Finals rematch (sigh) between Ime Udoka and Steph Curry.
So listen, I get it.
People think the NBA Cup is stupid and a waste of time and not important blah blah blah.
I’m not going to debate you on that, people like what they like.
At the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
