Projected Starting Lineups


For your Orlando Magic:


PG: Jameer Nelson
"Don't hate the player, hate the game."


SG: Mickael Pietrus
"I can step on the line, just not outside the line, right?"


SF: Hedo Turkoglu
"You gotta catch that."


PF: Rashard Lewis
"Marc, you're lucky they held me back. Bitch."


C: Dwight Howard
"I think my mechanics are good."




For the visiting Sacramento Kings:


PG: Beno Udrih
"If we win, I'm washing my hair. Well, maybe. We'll see."


SG: Kevin Martin
"I'm having a sale. All facials and broken ankles 50% off."


SF: John Salmons
"Against my D, you'll feel like you're swimming upstream."


PF: Mikki Moore
"Your PG is smaller than the rats I feed my pet snakes."


C: Spencer Hawes
"I'm pretty fly for a white guy. Well not really, but I'll pwn you anyway."




Career High Watch (The table looks messy, but that's only because RealGm messed it up. I tried to salvage it.):

nba.com not displaying Brad Miller or Francisco Garcia's season/career high table for whatever reason. I'm guessing it's because they have not appeared yet this season. But neither are a threat in this game due to that very reason.

Hard to be confident.

Lets just not play like Brian Hill is our coach.

[Wayland The Smith]

We should win this one. But if it's close at the end, make sure hedo or shard take the last ball and attempt a god damn fu***** shot....

[joshman]

who cares!!!

we lose this game 96 to 91

we have no energy coming off the bench.

and if you all think that jj redick or anthony johnson brings energy you are crazy!!!

[Optimus_Steel]

I can't believe I am saying this but this is like a must win. If you lose the first 3 games, to Atl, Mem and Sac, and 2 of those at home, then this thing could snowball severely....

PG: Jameer Nelson
"Don't hate the player, hate the game."

haha that was hilarious!!


great thread

[magicfan4life05]

Oh yeah, just an FYI

Kings got their butts handed to them last night against the heat in blowout fashion, so you know they are gonna come out and try to play hard, but they are also on a back 2 back like the magic so it's on an even playing field (or court :/ )

[christian72589]

well.... i hope we win.... i am losing hope one posession at a time.

[CourtsideTV]

john salmons for 28/10/6 on us.

Kevin Martin at least 40 points 10 assist and 8 rebounds along with 5 steals and 2 blocks

Spencer Hawes shut down dwight and gets 28/22/6/with 4 steals and 8 blocks

[eyriq]

I cannot fathom us losing this game.

Go Magic!

[Optimus_Steel]

I cannot fathom us losing this game.

Go Magic!

That attitude has been part of the problem. What were the players quotes after the Atl game? "I am shocked", "I am in shock we lost that game" and so on. Dwight and Lewis both mentioned that. They think they can show up and turn it on. That doesnt happen in the NBA unless maybe you are the 72 win Bulls. I was hoping that the loss to Atlanta was enough of a kick in the ass to get them to focus on the right things but that is not the case. I would not be shocked if we lost tonight, and if another Magic player says that they are "shocked" then I will really blow a gasket.

[magicman123]

man i said last nights game could get ugly, i didnt mean for us....there is no excuse to loose this game...i predict jj has a great game tonight (cheerin)

It sucks knowing I'm part of the problem....

[Howard+Nelson]

I'm looking forward to watching snl more than this game and I dont find snl that funny.

[magicfanejc42]

I think Clee will get minutes tonight on Martin, I mean honestly, give him a shot on a player built to be guarded by him...Bogans nor JJ will be able to keep with him, and MP will be in foul trouble all night again..

Dwight destroys in this game and so does Shard..Jameer gets outplayed but Udrih, we win still 115 to 95..We FINALLY find our offense...with MOVEMENT!

[Kent]

I love the quotes attached to the players, FFBlitzace.

The Magic better win tonight. The Kings are going to come out ready to play, but will the Magic?

[EasternMagic]

I might cry if we lose.... really I might...

[magicfanatic23]

I might cry if we lose.... really I might...

+1
Severe depression might follow for myself

[a-rod]

john salmons for 28/10/6 on us.

Kevin Martin at least 40 points 10 assist and 8 rebounds along with 5 steals and 2 blocks

Spencer Hawes shut down dwight and gets 28/22/6/with 4 steals and 8 blocks

if dwight gets less then 40/40 against our front line, i will consider it an off night...

Kings Game Thread Come say hi and don't troll

Good Luck Guys!

[Bay_Areas_Finest]

Courtney Lee NEEDS to get minutes tonight. The performances by Redick and Bogans early on have been flat out horrible.

My prediction? Meh.
