Well Parker could be substituted for Moon and I meant to put Bosh as the pf but it's still pretty much the same. I don't see why you start Ford when it's a better match up to get Calderon on Nelson and Ford on Dooling. I think it would force us to pull Nelson and bring in Dooling earlier. Also I see Kapono as being smaller than Parker so I see Parker as a small forwdr and Kapono as a shooting guard, at least on offens, but who your guarding on defense changes it. It's really just symantecs.

I would say your best line ups are

Calderon
Kapono
Moon
Bosh
Bargnani

I say moon because he gives you the off the ball rebounding and Parker is more of a scorer. You really don't need more scoring in your starting line up and Calderon for the reasons stated before.

I'd rather have Delfino in over Moon. Delfino did a good job of shutting down Turkoglu. He's one of the few players on the Raps team that can actually do a half decent job of staying infront of Turk.

Moon, while great at times is still a rookie that looks to block everything. He's athletic, but Turk will deke him out of his shorts with a simple head and shoulder fake.

I really don't know your team well enough. You know better than me. It should be fun. I think your arena is going to be crazy as hell, but Orlando has been a good road team this year, and we beat Golden State in their building this year in what was a very loud and entertaining game. I think we will be ready. I really think we will be pretty relaxed tonight. Like I said the pressure is really on you guy's the next two games. It's do or die for you guy's, but I don't under estimate your team like a lot of others around here.

Yeah, one of the better road teams for sure. Toronto fans will be very loud, but it won't be like playing in Utah or anything. Either way, I look forward to an entertaining game tonight and hopefully a more competitive first quarter. And now work is over, so I must depart.

Enjoy the game Magic fans.

Wait, are you saying Dwight only pushes off as a result of players holding his hands down?

I'm not talking about the pushes when both players go up in the air and he uses his off arm to push off (which is what I presume you are talking about since that is usually the time when arms get tangled up). I'm referring to plays like in Game 1 where he just pushed Anthony Parker (just one example) in the back and grabbed the board. Parker wasn't even really boxing Dwight out, he just had inside position and Dwight pushed him out of the way (and on to the floor) and grabbed the board.

And no, no one on the Raptors can handle Dwight. I totally 100% agree. That still doesn't mean Dwight should be allowed to illegally abuse opponents because he's bigger.


No what i was saying is you can make a case that opponents hold down Dwight's hands while he's trying to a rebound as much as you can about Dwight pushing his opponents for rebounds.

On another note, our 3 point guys had bad shooting nights, we had alot of bad calls, their shooters were hot, Bosh had a good night and we still won. I expect us to come out with a bit different plan maybe but we are a very good road team. Dont expect them to win but maybe, maybe 1 of the next 2.


As much as I hate flopping, I think we should do it more considering how the league doesn't seem to care about it. Why not flop and be a lil biotch. If its legal might as well do it since everyone else is now a days.
