a little bit of a boring thread.




Magic win by 15




You've been warned!!! The Magic are legit

still feel iffy when we play the Mavs

Ditto.

Especially on the tail end of a B2B.

No lie here. The Mavs may be mediocre, but they cannot be underestimated at anytime. It's a wonder the Magic broke that 10 game losing skid on the road against them. One question though. When was the last time the Magic swept the series against the Mavs if at all?

Well I went to the game last year when they played here and we got spanked at home. Thats is not gonna happen this time.

I think I heard one of the commentators say since 1997. I could be wrong though.

Go Magic should be a good game. Dwight will get a 20 20 magic win by 13.

+1

especially after the way they beat us last year

but SVG remembers, and we'll be prepared

I also hate the rims in Dallas. It just seems harder to shoot there for some reason... luckily we're home

im gonna be there. 10-2 when im there. 8-1 in the regular season... hopefully we win in convincing fashion. damn when was the last time we were 27 games over .500???

VERY difficult game.

I think we should be able to pull out this victory. I am 4-0 so far this season when I attend games. I will be at the clippers game wednesday so hopefully we will win that one. As far as the game is concerned I think the Mavs will put up a fight, game goes to OT, and Magic pull out the game on a CLee game winning shot.

Orlando wins 113 to 111.

I could see Josh Howard having a big game here, but we should be able to pull it out, and Stan got these guys playing good D, we should get a win here....

Magic Win 97-90

Dirk and Terry are going to hit everything, as usual.

Thx Joe. It will be a long time coming if the Magic can pull the sweep against the Mavs tonight. Dirk and Terry aren't the only players the Magic have to worry about. Josh Howard is another player the Magic have to keep in check. On JT, I say throw KB on him to harrass him whenever he's on the floor. Make Dirk work for his shots and Force Howard to beat the team from the outside.

A huge defensive test for Lewis.

I really, really hope you're not serious. And if you are serious, then I really hope by KB you don't mean that scrub of ours who I don't wanna see on the floor ever again in Magic uniform.

The Magic are back home and back in the flow of things.

Mavs 95
Magic 115

I am thinking blowout as well. Just a feeling.

Mavs are one of those teams that makes everything against us. This game will go to the wire.
