@therealBeede Mosley should be listed as OUT

#Magic teammates Franz Wagner (left high ankle sprain injury management), Anthony Black (left lateral abdominal strain), and Jonathan Isaac (left knee sprain) all remain OUT for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

@OMagicDaily 6-1 against the sub .500 teams...

Today's stat I am too obsessed with: The #Magic are 9-9 against teams with records better than .500 this season, according to ESPN.com. It is the most total games vs. +.500 teams in the league so far. They won 12 of these games all of last season.

Inject this into my veins

@AndyHazelton @AndyHazelton how much do I need to worry about this in the sarasota area?

@webberweather Also wonder if it just nudges things East a little bit initially with downshear convection. Will be interesting to see.

One thing that could throw a wrench into Invest #97L’s intensity forecast is the development of Tropical Depression #10E in the far eastern Pacific. Some upper-level outflow from #10E could impart some additional westerly shear onto #97L the next day or two, possibly curbing intensification in the longer run. #10E is likely overperforming relative to official forecasts atm & looks like it’s already well on its way to becoming a hurricane.

LFG

@AndyHazelton @burgwx From drought to flooding in one day definitely is a classic FL experience.

@DPortno @burgwx Yeah it's definitely a drought eraser!

A flash flood situation is unfolding in the Sarasota, FL area from a quasi-stationary band of excessive rain associated with the low-level circulation of invest 90L. Radar estimates show over 2-3" of rain fell in the last hour alone, with several more inches still to come.

@AndyHazelton @burgwx I live right where this little band is and it’s been pouring for the last few hours. While it’s not pleasant now, we need the rain badly.

@burgwx @CollinRLwx I've seen similar classified, but it's definitely on the more marginal side. And with 40 knots of shear I doubt it lasts long enough to really meet the definition.

Great read.

@BQRMagic @OMagicDaily Wendell was struggling against Vuc and they need a bigger body with Drummond so in came Goga and he and Isaac were much better down low.

@OMagicDaily missed the game. Wendell in foul trouble or hurt or something? Looks like Goga contributed but I'm missing the context as to why he was getting clutch minutes

Love Goga Bitadze and he has been awesome. But the #Magic need a center who is not going to be afraid to shoot with the pressure they see on these pick and rolls. Second time he has passed an open three. #Magic reworked to get Bitadze rolling and he is fouled.

Some recent work news! & congrats to @jbetling

@PapageorgiouMBO Chuma is not playable. He’s tentative on the offensive side and his defense isn’t making up for it.

@chrisj1914 Ryan Neal stinks and isn’t even playing cause he hurt. I say this as a Bucs fan!

Pin it to the bulletin board... #FTTB

@grahampotteruk @the_stylophone Hahaha remember those days??

@the_stylophone @DPortno made me think of you...lol

Are you ready for Freddy? Warm up for the movie and play along to the FNAF Toreador March!🧸 #Stylophone #fivenightsatfreddys #fnafmovie #gamingmusic #lofisynth #portablism #synths #learnmusic

@PapageorgiouMBO @OrlandoMagic Would be great - as a magic fan living in sarasota and can’t watch the games it’s infuriating.

Hope is fun

I wouldn’t be where I am today, literally and figuratively, without ⁦@NickBollettieri⁩. His friendship and generosity knew no bounds and the world is a worse place without his energy and enthusiasm in it. nytimes.com/2022/12/05/spo…

Not gonna cut it. Hampered us throughout the tourney.

@PaulFox13 What’s your level of worry right now?

Tropical wave we've been watching in central tropical Atlantic continues to get better organized. This one needs to be watched because its heading for the western Caribbean where the environment will likely favor intensification. It may find its way into Gulf in about 7/8 days.
