Great game thread! At this point, just make a game out of this by playing with some heart.

All I'm saying is that calling this team "heart & hustle" does a huge disservice to the original club. That's not hating on this club, it's loving what the real heart & hustle team did. That's all.

Can't really call this team heart and hustle when Duhon is on the floor.

I don't think anyone is comparing their hustle to the original team, only suggesting that this team is playing with effort and energy.

I guess but shouldn't they always play hard? It's not like they're playing for peanuts.

Slightly off topic, I remember all of the analyst saying that we would have a great shot at going down as the worst team in NBA history before the season started for that heart & hustle team.

i expect us to loose clearly....Denver got too much firepower and we can't defend any team without Dwight....Ty Lawson, Andre Miller probably gona kill us

Sure they should always play hard but that goes for every NBA team really. We just had too much locker room drama all season long. We think it shouldn't matter but unfortunately it does.

I agree. Add to that we just probably have nothing left in the tank.

I'm ready for a win from these guys, ave their hard work pay off. If they repeat last night's effort they have a shot, but I am a little worried about the game going into overtime and being on the road and all of that.

The Nuggets do have something to play for as well, I'm not sure about their head to head and whether they can miss the playoffs if they go on a losing streak but they can move down in the standings so they'll be trying.

I hope we lose so they tie us in the standings so we can get a better pick in the draft. So, we're gonna win. . .

We don't need to win. We got the bobcats next. Now, if we lose THAT game, I will lose all faith in this squad's professionalism.

I actually don't think a win against the Bobcats will be easy. Not even sure if it's imminent. The way this season has gone, it wouldn't surprise me to see us slip to 7.

Always play to win. Just play hard and hustle. See where the chips fall.

Earl Clark (left knee) probably will not play tonight, both Clark and SVG said. #Magic

Nah, Big Cat will bounce back with a monster game. Just you wait and see.

Damn I just watched SVGs post game from last night. I know you guys said he threw Orton under a bus but damn I didn't realize he was pretty vicious about it. Hey Stan, maybe if he had more than a few seconds of playing time before now he might have been a little better.....ass.
