on NBATV, so its nationally televised, McGrady will be pissed, the crowd will be booing, and last time he played AT Orlando McGrady scored 34pts, 6ast, 4reb, on a winning effort.

I think the Magic fans are over McGrady at this point, now that they are winning games. McGrady should have a good game tomorrow as he is looking to prove something in Orlando. Yao vs Dwight matchup should be good also.

Nope, McGrady will be booed my friend. I am going to the game and even though I love T-Mac(no homo) I am going to boo his ass just because it is fun and gets the crowd going...Should be a good game. Good luck

I dont know the reason why the Magic would still boo McGrady. Hell, the same way I dont know why Astros fans boo Carlos Beltran.

Magic boo McGrady, because he was their franchise player and wanted out...simple.

We need a better effort than tonight (unless it's the effort from under the 8 minute mark in the 4th). Yao has to establish position on Dwight and get himself and his teammates chances to score. Mac has to be aggressive. Say what you want, but when Mac's shooting and taking shots (even if it's a jumpshot) he has to keep shooting and stay aggressive in that 18 foot and in area. Got to try not to get dominated on the boards, and have to contain their perimeter players.....I'm not expecting much considering how inconsistent we are though..

We need to get Yao started from the beginning. THe magic don't front Yao. The big fella gotta go to work in the paint.

:rofl:

I can't believe we got the main peace that we traded for T-Mac back.. SF3 is still rehabbing but man, I'm still laughing about that. It's like we got T-Mac for a cookie jar.

I hope we play from the start and not 40 minutes in.

I hope T-Mac will have a good game because it will be nice if he can shut them up when they boo him and I hope we win adn stay healthy thats it.

Looks like Oberto is holding up a 3 sign. Maybe signaling 3 personal fouls? The pic looks like and 1 for the Rockets, so I am pretty sure it came after a foul.

I don't know what else it could be

You know that game you played as a kid where you hold your fingers like that and if your buddy looks you get to punch him in the chest?

Yeah. Oberto is playing that game.

I expect another big game from Von Wafer. He's definitely dropping 56 pts on Orlando. I say we start him at PF and let him dominate Dwight Howard all night. We should also play him some at center. And at PG.

Don't you get what he is saying? He loves T-Mac but he is in Orlando, so that will help him play better and we win.
