Orlando(12-20) vs. New York(22-10) 1/5/12 7PM EST

[thelead]

I didn't know we played at MSG today, I could have sworn that we played at the Amway Center today. Oh wait, we did. You couldn't tell with THE WHOLE ARENA ROOTING FOR THE KNICKS! I'm about ready to be done with the NBA as a whole because of this bullcrap. I wanna see my team cheered for when we play at home, not see the other team cheered for. When we were a contender, nobody rooted for us when we were playing away games. Just completely unbelievable.

You have to remember that a lot of the Orlando population comes from the north. This is why Knicks and Celtics games are awful to go to.

You should have known better. All the refugees from NY come to live in Orlando.

our team is bad and the Knicks are less bad than our bad team

that's what happens

it wasn't like that when Nate Robinson and David Lee were suiting up for them

mcroberts re: carmelo anthony: "pretty much shut him down tonight, i think"

[everyone laughs]

[Optimus_Steel]

Rookies guarding Carmelo arent going get any calls in the fourth. It would be a carmelo parade to the FT line. Also NY went small, we dont want Andrew guarding Carmelo.

[MagicStarwipe]

Basically JV doesn't trust Andrew to make the correct rotations on defense. Andrew again made a couple mistakes on that end tonight and JV is quick with the hook for the rookies when they do that. Also, I think he trusts McRoberts more as a veteran, especially down the stretch although it hurt us tonight with him guarding Melo.

[Def Swami]

Moe or Dequan should have been out there guarding Melo in the 4th. Vucevic continues to rebound well, Nicholson needs more minutes, and Afflalo is a good shooting guard. I'd keep him over JJ.

McRoberts isnt going to get any calls either.

We're 0-5 when I make the GT.

[OrlandO]

I bet we would have won had Hedo not stopped momentum with that awful 3pt miss in the 4th.

This was my first game in Orlando (visiting from Australia, first Magic game was actually the loss in Washington a couple weeks back) and was totally confused by this. Even arriving at the arena there was so many more NY jerseys, and as the game went on I was getting pretty freaked out, hella surreal.

[claudio-br]

i think we just have to give JV some time to adjust his rotations. it is his first season as a coach, he will make mistakes. for example, GSW did pretty bad with Mark Jackson last year, but this year they are overcoming the expectations (i havent watched they play, but they have a good record)

yea no kidding, and they claim NY is the greatest place on earth

[AdamTheGreek]

Redick looked like he was about to pass a kidney stone after the loss. Afflalo looks like a Wolverine victim. All you can sometimes do is laugh when a guy like Melo goes off. Hopefully they do well on the road.

[Reverse_Angle]

Easy on the jacque.
