The Magic own the Hawks just like the Hawks own Boston.

Amen. This is the last team I want to face in the playoffs.
Gotta win some of these tough matchup games on the road sometime. This sucks.

Moving screen whistled on Zaza followed by Howard doing a moving screen without a whistle. I feel like someone should do like in Caddyshack and offer the ref $100 just to call if fair.

I understand fouling Dwight, but it's hurting us, and it just so happens he's doing a great job at the line. None of the Hawks are frustrating Dwight Howard, so that smile is going to continue to shine for the rest of the game.

Against Boston he went 3-10

Against us 9-14

Dwight gets away with alot of stuff. Hes allowed to play physically on both sides.
I feel that Zaza and Horford get called for the most moving screens as a tandem than any other combo in the league.

We just endure too many offensive draughts vs Orlando to ever beat them. They make us play a halfcourt set, and we can't handle it. When we aren't getting fastbreak points, our offense becomes very average.

It didnt seem like we made a concerted effort to get out on the break. I feel bad for Woody. SVG is such a douche and hes gonna get to coach the east all stars.

I like Woodson, but SVG is far from a douche, he's just an incredibly negative person with an annoying voice.

Wow. If that's not douchey, then what is?

[evildallas]

Orlando owns us, pure and simple. I believe what we need to do is actual orchestrate an offensive game plan against them. Specifically an attempt to draw fouls on Howard since we can't match up against him. That doesn't mean attempting to go one on one with him in the post for contested hook shots. I'm thinking drive and dish or post on the opposite block. I think the only way you can get him into foul trouble is to make him move and help out. Outside of him getting into foul trouble the only hope we have is that Orlando shoots itself in the foot by not feeding him, but that never seems to happen against us.

Also every time JJ Redick is on the floor, Jamal should take him off the dribble. That's an exploitable advantage.

Final point, I'm glad SVG doesn't play Ryan Anderson more. He can eat us alive.

I was being sarcastic lol.
