Orlando vs Denver 

Post#1 » by bucsmagicfan » Wed Feb 13, 2008 10:52 pm

From NBA.com Preview:

http://www.nba.com/games/20080213/DENOR ... eboardhome

The Orlando Magic will go into the All-Star break with a comfortable lead in the Southeast Division, but coach Stan Van Gundy isn't satisfied by how his team - especially his star player - is wrapping up its play.

Dwight Howard and the Magic look to end a frustrating homestand on a positive note Wednesday when they try for their 15th straight home win over the Denver Nuggets.

Orlando (32-21) fell to 1-3 in its five-game homestand following a 118-111 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The Magic, who had won seven of the previous eight, have struggled defensively during the homestand - allowing opponents to average 106.5 points on 49.8 percent shooting during the four games.


Some Stats, once again from NBA.com

Denver Nuggets
Record: 32 - 19 (.627)
Standings: Second, Northwest
At Home: 21 - 6

Orlando Magic
Record: 32 - 21 (.604)
Standings: First, Southeast
At Home: 13 - 11
At Road: 19 - 10
Streak: L 2


Just a hasty game thread knocked up.

should be a win if we play defense. plus it'd be smart to give howard the ball because frankly marcus camby is way to skinny to guard howard.

I've turned this into the game thread, just posted up some stuff from NBA.com which actually do good previews.

This is a important game, we really want to win going into that break, and not leave SVG fuming over a 3 game losing streak.

Well your absolutely right, unfortunately Dwight is the only one capable of effecting that end.
