7pm Amway Center, Orlando, FL
The Gimme Game (but a gimme for who?)




ABOUT THE KNICKS (10-42): Anthony told reporters, "I'm restricted. I'm not getting that power, that bounce," after scoring 26 in the 109-95 defeat at Miami on Monday. Without Anthony, veteran center and Lake Wales, Fla., native Amar'e Stoudemire is the top scorer on the team while averaging 12.2 points and 6.9 rebounds. Langston Galloway scored 15 in the last meeting with Orlando and is averaging 11.3 points since joining the team in early January, but is shooting 31.7 percent from the field in February.

ABOUT THE MAGIC (16-39): Guard Evan Fournier has raised his level of play over the last two games while making 12-of-21 from the field en route to 32 points combined and has made 6-of-13 from behind the arc the past four. Nikola Vucevic recorded 34 points and 18 boards in the last game against the Knicks and leads the team in scoring (19.4) and rebounding (11.2). Victor Oladipo averages 16.5 points but shot only 34.8 percent from the field in the last four games -- 1-of-10 from beyond the arc the past three.

Projected Starters
PG Elfrid Payton vs Jose Calderon
SG Victor Oladipo vs Langston Galloway
SF Evan Fournier vs Lance Thomas
PF Channing Frye vs Jason Smith
C Nikola Vucevic vs Louis Amundson

*Carmelo Anthony questionable (knee)
*Tobias Harris out (knee)
*Luke Ridnour available

Is it all-star break yet??????????????????????????

Jason Smith career high?

I guess I'd better watch this entire game since there won't be any for a while!

If we dont win this game, I say tank the season. There is no way we should lose to the Knicks without Mellow.

For me personally there's nothing to look forward to other than development. Nothing to play for at this point and nothing to watch for other than seeing our young guys get burn. Gotta get Aaron out there more, got to stop sitting Payton so long especially considering in recent games Willie green has been the backup. Let's take the leash off our rookies.

the players need this win... we cannot lose to teams blatantly tanking.

We are the anti tank. Our prised lottery picks and "franchise cornerstones" are being out played by d leaguers and guys on 10 day contracts on a nightly basis. No tank is safe with us in town.

Play with heart and passion for 48 minutes. That is all I'm asking of this group going forward this season. Hopefully by the trade deadline, we can make decisions on these "veterans" that we have and focus on developing the young guys.

Up in the nosebleed section, but even here I can see Clyde the Glide's pink suit and cream,patented, leather cowboy boots!!!!

Might as well focus on development for the second half of the season. Get our young guys big minutes and hopefully in certain game situations that you couldn't possibly simulate in practice. It's all learning from here on out, hopefully we'll win a few here and there. Although I'm not quite sure how much they can learn from Borrego.

Gonna closely watch the chemistry between Elf and Dipo...haven't really been liking what I've been seeing lately.

Aaron Gordons barber's hand must have slipped

looks like Evan is getting the start instead of AG.

AG back to the bench. Let's see if he can get more than 15 minutes tonight.

Will be interesting to see how many bench points we rack up tonight. Will struggle to get 10.

Evan did play well last game, but didn't expect this. AG is JB's Harkless? lol

oh boy here it goes with Jason Smith

Elf with the and 1

Pick N Roll defense is just terrible.
