Other Key Players of the game

Louis Williams has a knack for tearing our defense apart, but will he make the pizzas in time for Mo Cheeks?


Can the Magic stop the rebounding and intensity Reggie Evans brings? Will he take out his wife's infidelity on the Magic?




keys to the game:

* Contain Elton Brand off the glass!! Rashard is gonna have his hands full, I expect Battie to play more minutes to helpout with Evans/Brand
* Run the floor! We need to create more fast break opportunities, this is a very good halfcourt defense team
*Effectively execute offensive plays (that means you Hedo!!)
*Give Dwight the ball and work Dalembert to death
*Contain Thaddeus Young. This guy is super quick, and has developed a pretty good jump shot this offseason. Hedo is going to have a tough time staying in front of him.
*Stop Louis Williams! this guy tore us up last season with this athelticism, I wanna see a courtney lee vs Louis Williams matchup


My prediction: Magic 104-98

And remember, the most important thing to be is PERSISTENT on both offense and defense

lol, Hilarious, but Orlando needs killer instinct badly, this is one is going down to the wire, Magic win 92-90

[j-ragg]

It's hard to be overly confident in our team at the moment, but if we have a fault that can be positive it's that we play down to our bad competition and up to our good competition. I could see this one going either way.

Biggest match up IMO is Jameer vs 'Dre Miller. Andre usually torches us. If Jameer can slow him down I think we win this one.

[damo[23]]

Need to win this game. Once again we have to play all 48 minutes because right now even with like 1 minute left a 10 point lead is not safe.

IF we take a lead in this game I dont want to see it down to 1 or 2 points after a couple of minutes again.

[eyriq]

You put this together while either drunk, high, or both.....

As for the game, I think you hit the key elements on the head. Philly can rebound the heck out of the ball, so keeping them off the offensive glass will be huge. If Pietrus stays out of foul trouble we win 97-89.

I don't get it ...

[TheRevTy]

I don't understand a lick of it, except the iguanadala. That was pretty funny.

[Magicalltheway]

I dont know if we can overcome all 3, Iguadola usually kills us. We have to bring our A game to win this one and Brand and Lewis should be a wash. But Dwight should more than outplay Sam.

[Forest]

I expect a win. Philly is on a back to back and Orlando will find their shooting touch.

I dont think it was the lack of shooting touch that made the last game scary. It was our decision making and TO that almost gave the game away. I think if we limit our tos to 12 or less we have a good chance of winning this.

Iggy usually struggles on Hedo.

The way I see this game going is that we go up 17-20pts at some point, and win/lose by 1-3pts.

Hilarious, the Jameer one is tough to get. Jameer tried to make dinosaur noises and he ended up sounding like a grizzly bear.
I'm addicted to lemonheads.

Dwight could use a 28-point, 26-board game.
I'm hoping that this is the year we start impressing on national t.v.
And you know Sir Charles is going to be on the Philly bandwagon.

I wasn't really talking about the Chicago game. I just think the Magic will shoot a high percentage in this game. Rashard or Hedo are due for a good game behind the arc.

[thefranchise2k5]

Magic win because we show up with our A game for big games... I'm more worried about teams like the Grizzlies than the 76ers.

As far as those pictures in the starting line-up, quite creative. While I don't get a lot of it, still gave me lots of laughs and amusement.

[EasternMagic]

lol great thread, lets get above .500

[magicman123]

hey we are on national tv, so that means....flop.....

nice game thread, def unusual...lets see if this team can play like they are suppose to, and this guy finds his game

[AdamTheGreek]

^^^I think we're trying to get some mojo in our favor with SUSAN G. KOMEN NIGHT!
A.K.A. Breast Cancer Awareness Night.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW STERN? SCREWING US OVER = SUPPORTING CANCER

[glennathan]

this is kinda like a middleweight title fight. Niether team is top in the East but we both have a great shot at being in positions 3 and 4. Hopefully we get some respect from Kenny and Charles. At least EJ tries to be down the middle.

[drsd]

O though matchup. We'll learn a lot about the Magic tomorrow.
