The Orlando Magic are one of the best road teams in the NBA, but they feel they

Projected Lineups:

Kings:

Udrih (Solid)
Martin (Slap your self)
Artest (Shoot better this time please)
Moore (Dont kill Lewis this time)
Miller (Good Luck)

CO-SIGNED.

Man I think we lose this one. We don't have to frontcourt to go against Howard. I think Reggie will go small because we have to cover Hedo and Lewis on the wings as well, that just makes going against Howard even harder.

I think if Miller or Moore cant handle Howard, Theus will bring in Williams...

i wanna see how he does vs Howard.

[SacKingZZZ]

Problem for the young guys is this is a team that likes to smallball, so I am expecting plenty of that from us.

Orlando has to small-ball out of necessity. I can't believe the over-reliance Orlando has to have on Dwight for defense and rebounding. Basically doesn't have much help with Hedo and Rashard being pure SFs (being PF in spurts, at most), Foyle playing 9 MPG, Cook being Cook.

That's tough.

I hope for Dwight's, SVG's, and the team's sake they get/sign another rebounder/defender that plays decent minutes, to help out Dwight, with Tony Battie gone for the year. As well as getting one in addition to Battie for next season.

Jamaal Magloire would be a good idea right now for them. Maybe even try talking to PJ Brown (who has been being talked to by New Orleans).

Anyway, I think this really can go either way... so, I just hope we win a pretty winnable game.

Go Kings, just don't step on Superman's cape

But watch out Dwight, those capes can be a hazard (Incredibles):D

Seriously though, I like the match ups. Every Kings player needs to drive to hoop on Howard. The man Howard defends needs to be very active. The goals should be to challenge Howard, get him in foul trouble and not let him rest when he is on the court.

Who needs a bigman to stop Dwight when you have Mikki's elbow

I dont know. I think I'll take D12's nose over Mikki's elbow.

Eh, we always have that habit to play at the level of the opponent...We play bad against bad competition or we play at an elite level against the elite teams...So, yeah...

[Cruel_Ruin]

We can't let Hedo/Lewis/Howard get off, we have to make their guards beat us. Kevin can't sleepwalk through this game either.

Kings should post mikki on every play and let those elbow's do the work...Those elbows are better at getting fouls than Wade

That was one game. We're not gonna keep playing like that every game. Remember, we did beat them without Martin/Artest/Bibby last month.
