The Miami 9 at Orlando Magic game thread

M_nus · Post #1 » by **M_nus** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 3:32 pm

7 pm start, on SUN Sports.

Can our whole 9-player team ( 34-9 ) hold their own against the Orlando Magic ( 18-28 )?

Starters:

Zo (knee) out, Shaq (fake-hip) out, Wade (fake-flu) out, Haslem (fake-ankle) out.

Tonight the Heat will be showcasing their new alternate uniforms for the 2007-2008 season...

As well as our new team mascot...

Do it, Riley!

That jacket is hot, but the tie could be better.

I think Alexander Johnson starts over Barron who is our only backup center

Too bad Simien is no longer with the team, he could have diarreah all over the court or at least be the best PF on this team that REALLY sucks..

Barron's been playing pretty well as of late though, and i think would do a better job of chasing Turkey Glue around the perimeter should the matchups become mixed up after a screen. Which, you know, happens, always.

Jo-el might get activated, too. Smush certainly isn't.

If i was pat riley i would let DQ cook Shoot everything he gets his hands on. Give alexander the ball everytime down low in the post! And whenthose 2 cant do it then give it to blount(TRADE VALUE).

How the hell did Bargnani make the Sophmore team, and Cook not make the Rookie team??

win/loss record probably.

so my last chance to see the Heat all year in my own backyard and our 4 best players are out with injury.

blount-wright-davis-cook-jwill should start tonight because Orlando runs with RLewis at the 4 and DWright can matchup with him just fine.....

that leaves johnson, quinn, jackson, anthony off the bench I guess.

quite possibly this could be the worst Miami Heat team to ever step foot on any NBA court...........and I mean EVER!

Every rookie that got on ahead of Cook had equal or better stats, and played for a better team. Can't fault it. Bargnani has equal or better stats than Cook and plays for a playoff team also.

Does Wade REALLY have the flu? I watched the whole game last night, just seemed to have an offnight, just like every superstar against the Celts and thought it was an excuse to tank and go on the bench(dont blame him though)

they announced the flu pre-game with a personal anecdote from one of the announcers.

Wow Riley is not taking any chance!! LUKE Jackson is starting????? Cook?? or alexander???

WTF Jackson starting is the kind of things that piss me off!!

Post #16 » by **Lane1974** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:19 am

probably to matchup with Hedo & Shard at their 3 and 4

AJ or Cook couldn't

not that Luke can, but it makes sense

M_nus · Post #17 » by **M_nus** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:21 am

i like Evans, makes taking back Brian Cook almost okay

Post #18 » by **GameTime_3** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:29 am

Anyone else notice the ball movement? IT nice..

Dorrel i must say looks 5x better when we run!
