KEY MATCHUP:

vs.

It all starts and ends with Derrick Rose, even if Gordon or Salmons or whoever heats up. IMO, Skip is due a very good game (double-double).
Right now, no one knows what the deal with Hedo is. Personally, I'm hoping he sits. If he does, I'd like to see Marcin start alongside Dwight. But whose to say SVG won't just throw in Peaches at SF.
Hopefully our guys can get back to protecting home court after another Detroit defeat. Chicago is coming off a disheartening double overtime loss in Miami at the hands of Dwayne Wade.

INFO SUBJECT TO CHANGE

[Orange Ave.]

It's the day before the game and no thread is up. I'm guessing because of the post-Detroit depression. So I'm throwing this craptastic one up. Sign up for game thread fellas.

Bulls at Magic. I'll be there, woo hoo. Go Magic.

[Orange Ave.]

Ha! My thread is better

[AdamTheGreek]

Haha, I noticed no one signed up for it. I had some spare time on hand.

I beg some you undefeated guys to sign up for game threads, we could use a lengthy win streak.

[Nemesis21]

Have to win at home. I think Magic will be hungry for this win after loss @ Detroit.


Dwight with a monster game




Magic win by 9













You've Been Warned!!! the Magic are legit

[Orange Ave.]

I beg some you undefeated guys to sign up for game threads, we could use a lengthy win streak.

I tried. On the board, it said my game thread went up 5 minutes before yours, in here, it says yours went up first by 5 minutes. It's all you for sure, but I tried putting my precious record on the line.

[SD2042]

The Magic need a good win here after the mental collaspe and mistakes in Detroit.

[CPBalla2003 n da 863]

Both teams should come out focused after some close losses, should be a good game here, and will go down to the wire, Magic at home, they got the V

96-95 Magic

[FFBlitzace]

I'll test my mettle here soon and make a game thread.

[drsd]

If Hedo is out, it will be interesting to see if Gortat or Battie starts.

[Last Guardian]

I hope it will be Gortat. One bad game against the Pistons doesn't mean anything. He needs to learn how to play next to Dwight.

[Magicalltheway]

I heart can't take two losses in a row, Cmon boys lets get the big W.

[vagnermagic]

I'll be pissed if they continue the red hot shooting from the other game against us.

Please, let's blow out this team tonight!

[drsd]

The O-Sem word is that the starting five has Alston, Lee, Pietrus, Lewis, and Howard.

I guess that Redick will get major minutes at SG. And Lewis will play all game at PF and SF.

All the sudden, Lewis not getting into foul trouble will be a critical event.

[glennathan]

I think I would prefer to see Gortat in the starting lineup instead of depending on Lewis to play the entire game. I think Gortat will get a heavy dose of minutes tonight but I still think he should start. Especially if we are serious about re-signing him, because it will give him the understanding we trust him to start at any given time.

[Shishnizzle]

F Hedo Turkoglu (tendinitis in his left Achilles) is listed as day-to-day. ... Turkoglu saw a doctor and underwent treatment Tuesday on the team's off day.

[Bay_Areas_Finest]

As long as Chicago doesn't shoot 80% from the field like they did last game, we'll win.

They're still garbage.

Watch it, man.

That's the kind of thing we can't say before a game like this. Especially after the way they beat us last time.

[DHoward4Mvp]

The Bulls definitely improved after the trade they made.... They actually have a pretty damn good team now....
I say we lose tonight. Chicago 102 Orlando 94

unfortunately I have to agree. I think we lose a close game around 105 - 102 we miss a last second shot for OT
