Limit Dragic and try to get Whiteside in foul trouble. Not worried about the others, even though James Johnson looks like LeBron against us.

Always fun playing the Heat
Sucks we won't have Biyombo, though.

Good thread! Go Magic!
Try to get Whiteside in foul trouble, don't let Waiters be the Magic killer.

If there's one team I think to myself we MUST beat them every time no matter what, it's the Heat.

Go Magic! Let's start the season off strong. I expect big games(around 20 points) by Fournier, Ibaka and Vuc. Hopefully we get aggressive Elf/AG and a better Mario.

James Johnson. He's just a guess to be honest. It'll probably be him or Luke Babbitt.

Thinking about going to this game. Hopefully I could find a fair deal.
In one of the practice videos, Biz said he's hoping to hear favorably from the league regarding his opening game suspension. I think he appealed it. Would be awesome to have him.

If we had Biz, we'd theoretically be able to handle Whiteside no problem. Still, you have to think Vooch and Ibaka can at least cancel him out. On paper, we match up really well with Miami.

If Payton comes out aggressive and keeps attacking, we should be in good shape . Miami doesnt have anyone to stop AG! Who can guard him ? especially if he keeps posting up smaller players! also ibaka should be able to dominate whoever they have playing PF! Our bench should easily build leads against theirs !!! we win by 10 !!!

People have "forgotten". We'll be fine without Biz although I would've liked to see him play. We really need Mario to step it up. I don't know if what we saw was preseason Mario or a result of having to get accustomed to a brand new coach again but we need him to grow a pair and play basketballfklt wrote:you people know vuc outplayed whiteside last year right? we did not had a whiteside problem without biz.
I want to see all of our players be aggressive but particularly I would like to see Payton attack Miami the whole game instead of waiting until we're down 20 to be aggressive. The same applies to AG. Whiteside cant stop Nik so we should see Vooch outplay him yet again.
Really? I think Winslow can do a good job of "Stopping" AG. He isn't much of a scorer and he doesn't have a refined post up game. I think the key to AG is to constantly attack the basket drawing fouls, and make his open 3's. If he gets stuck in a one on one trying to create off the dribble I think Justice is more than capable stopping him.Mc-o wrote:If Payton comes out aggressive and keeps attacking, we should be in good shape .
