Ok, started off the road trip with a bang. Up come the Jazz. Lets keep the energy going. I got my very brief analysis of the Jazz below also.

Time to debut my new Signature (see below). Only took me less than an hour once I figured out how to use Photoshop and Gif Maker. I reckon some may like it.



When: Wednesday, December 5th
Where: EnergySolutions Arena
Time: 9:00 PM EST
TV/Radio: SUN/ FM 96.5 FM/ 580 WDBO

Your Orlando Magic!

4 Arron Afflalo G 6-5 215 UCLA/USA 5
Finally fitting like a glove. Playing good Defense and killing it on offense.
19 Gustavo Ayon F-C 6-10 250 Baloncesto Fuenlabrada/Mexico 1
Me Mahone Cito! Gotta show us something.
11 Glen Davis C-F 6-9 289 Louisiana State/USA 5
BBD Gonna Prove Ya'll Wrong!!!
21 Moe Harkless F 6-8 210 St. John's (N.Y.)/USA R
Rook getting his starting minutes. Need to bring it soon.
3 Al Harrington F 6-9 245 St. Patrick's HS (Elizabeth, NJ)/USA 14
Takes up salary cap space. May play someday or get traded.
20 DeQuan Jones G-F 6-8 221 Miami (Fla.)/USA R
I reckon Vaughn may keep this guy. Hustles.
17 Josh McRoberts F 6-10 240 Duke/USA 5
I like his handles. Smart player. Starting to like this guy.
55 E'Twaun Moore G 6-4 191 Purdue/USA 1
Young PG that is tearing up from the bench. Dude may surprise and push Meer.
14 Jameer Nelson G 6-0 190 Saint Joseph's/USA 8
Our Captain. Heart and soul of team.
44 Andrew Nicholson F 6-9 250 St. Bonaventure/Canada R
Rook starting to play great basketball. Hope he continues to develop.
2 Kyle O'Quinn F 6-10 240 Norfolk State/USA R
Rook that plays good Defense. Needs to keep up aggressive play regardless of fouls.
7 J.J. Redick G 6-4 190 Duke/USA 6
Magic fan favorite and does everything team needs when needed. Well, sometimes inconsistent.
10 Ish Smith G 6-0 175 Wake Forest/USA 2
Where's Ish? Free Ish!!!
15 Hedo Turkoglu F 6-10 220 Efes Pilsen/Turkey 12
Hedo gonna prove ya'll wrong if he can come back from injury. We need Hedo.
9 Nikola Vucevic F-C 7-0 240 USC/Montenegro 1
The new Magic Center. Starting to look scary good!











Andrew Nicholson starting to look good!



UTAH

• For Utah injuries. Favors and Marvin Williams are doubtful.

Report:

Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors continue to be beset by injuries and appear likely to each miss at least one more game. Williams continues to fight headaches as a result of hitting his head on the court in New Orleans on Wednesday. While he battles concussion like symptoms, Favors is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Both are listed as doubtful for Wednesday against the Orlando Magic.

Williams, the starting small forward, has already missed three games with the symptoms, while Favors has missed two-and-a-half.

This would explain why Utah has lost their past 3 games against tough opponents. Magic need to capitalize on this.

After beating NO and Den, the Jazz have lost 3 in a row to OKC, Rockets and Clippers all within 8 points.

Foye and Carrol have started the past few games over Hayward and Favors. Hayward scored 21pts against Houston and 17 against the Clippers.

Meer usually gets the best of Mo Williams, but Mo is on fire lately going 20 and 12 last game against the Clippers. Utah had Tuesday off also. Should be a tough game.


Mo Williams: Over last five games he got 16.3ppg and 8.3ast. Also, shooting 53% from floor and 43% from the Three! Woah, gotta contain this guy.


Randy Foye: Started over Hayword last game. Over last five games he got 13.5ppg scoring 20 against Houston shooting 52% from the field.


Demarre Carrol: Started last game for Marvin Williams. Over last five games he got 5.6ppg and 4.6rb. Shooting a measely 32% from field in last 5.


Paul Milsap: Over last five games he got 11.8ppg and 7.8rbg. Still hit and more miss player as he has shot 42% from the field last 5 games.


Al Jefferson: Over last five games he got 19.8pts and 8rb per game. Shooting 50% from field. Solid Center


A lot of young guys here, hope they don't fail hard!



I reckon a young team like this may be hot or cold!



But, I still expect a Dog Fight for playing time!



This could get ugly!



Had to pay these ladies to root for the Magic this year! Well, paid with BadMofoPimp lovin!





Gon' Turn It Up?

Bring it on!



Sit back, relax, drink of choice. Enjoy!

great thread, that fail pic never gets old.

Nice GT and Sig, BMP!

This. Excellent work.

I want us to continue to be greedy on this road trip and just play together...LET'S GET IT!!!

Nice thread...

Can't promise anything here... But the only promise is that Vaughn will have these guys playing hard every night.

Great GT!

Excited for this game. I haven't been around here as much but I've watched all but one game so far this season and it's been great so far.

Thanks, man. I miss the discussions around here. I especially miss all of the bi-polar phases this board goes through.

But, I'm excited about the way this team has been playing as of late. We look so unselfish at times. We look like we can, not only hang with, but beat most teams, and we're not even fully healthy yet.

Can't wait until the game!

Nicholson looks excited in that pic

Awesome thread BUT

you totally forgot about Marvin Williams. Carroll is starting in his spot, not Favors'. And that's because of injury. It's being reported that he will be out tonight so kinda doesn't matter but I felt like pointing it out

That being said - we'll lose.

Thanks. Updating. The thing is on the injury report I got the info from they said Carrol replaced Favors. I should have thought it out.

I updated the OP with this also:

That is freakin sweet. Better than anything I found on the internet. Thanks and keep up the good work involving improving RealGM.

With the minor exception of back in the day when we had the search function to research peoples posts taken away. I know it has been like six years, but I still miss it.

The points-scored/allowed graphic is SWEET! One can clearly see the dips and gains in player emotions and how that leads to "effort". This is a great invention!!!

This really helps put Orlando's 2-wins and Utah's 3-loses in a context.

..

I all boils down to consistency in every key area for the Magic - do we make it 3 for 3?

Can't wait to see my boys tonight. Go Magic!!!
