Is it confirmed that Arroyo is benched?

Nelson was clearly the alpha dog last night. But still, Arroyo is now 8-2 as a starter.

[theTHIEF]

that was a fluke game for Jameer...he did that earlier in the season...he played 3 or 4 really good games after coming back from injury or whatever it was...at that time though Arroyo was playing very well...

7-2, arroyo only played 5min and contributed nothing...i dont see him starting this game, nelson started the second half of the game last night and im sure it will carry over

You spelled Turks' name wrong.

[Nemesis21]

Go Magic beat the Lakers!

[MagicalMan]

can you include date/time? Especially if you're making the game thread a day or two early. You had me hoping the game was tonight

No..thats what I call Maurice evans..

doubt it... jameer has been banged up for the majority of the season and was holding back and obviously had to rest up. jameer is our starter and hell do fine

This will be a very good game, and should come down to the wire. We need to be very sharp and play very good if we want to have a shot at winning.

Tough game to predict, but I'll say we escape with a 2 point victory

[Last Guardian]

I say we bomb away from 3 and win by 11.

[NEM]

jameer is starting...he started the second half last night

[Devin 1L]

I can see Stan going either way with the point guards.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see; I trust his judgment.

[CourtsideTV]

jamaaer is the better choice. he just needed a vacation.

he's like the chris paul's of the mini pg's...

he's like kobe in a pg's body.

he's like shaq at 5'10.

[magicman123]

kobe hasnt scored in double digits the last two games...hopefully the mans pinkey is still sore

I wonder how many times that has happened in his career.

sorry he scored 11 last game..

[Joe Kleazy]

Thats only been one game without double figures. He has 11 last night. He just didnt score doubles against NJ.

you are right, my bad, he must of scored late in that game..still the injury is affecting him

I am a little conscerened that we could have some home losses coming up. Our schedule gets easier after these next 9 games, but these next 9 are going to tell us alot about where we end up. I'm thinking a bad showing would be 5 losses and 4 wins but I think realisticly 5 wins and 4 losses. Maybe 6 and 3
