I'll just stick this in here...

I'll put this game thread up and if WTB gets his up, we can merge or remove this one. Should be a good game. Orlando certainly has the advantage due to 3 days off and being home, but, the Cs are the Cs and should be a good test to see if they are indeed out of their funk.

Looking forward to this one. The Rondo-Nelson matchup will be a big factor in deciding the game.

Magic are a very good team. I see Howard shooting at least 15 FT tonight. It should be close but I see the Magic winning by 5.

Magic will come out firing, they will be pumped up and gunning to stay on top

I think the 3 played toomany minutes last night agains the heat and hopefully that means we dont start out flat, cause they are a hard team to slow down if they get going.

Perk needs to stay out of foul trouble too

Nice graphics on the game thread guys. Is perk still out? If so how long is he going to be out? btw, that pic for courtney lee is wrong, I think your using a pic of Reece Gaines.

^ perk is playing tonight.

Avalanche · Post #12 » by **Avalanche** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 12:45 am

Its actually a very cool match up 1-5 with the starters
Rondo and Jameer going at each other
Lee defending Ray
Pierce and Hedo exchanging buckets
Shard trying to guard KG, and Garnett having to chase Lewis to the perimeter
and Perk trying to contain Dwight

good stuff... now lets just hope the bench shows up to play

so it is on at 8. Good.

Should be a fun game to watch. The rondo and Jameer match-up. I remember wanting the celtics to take jameer in the draft but he didn't fall to 24 or 25.

Turkoglu always kills the Celtics plus with Nelson back the magic are a really good team. The magic are rested so this game will be very tough to win.

Lucky shot by Howard

Ortho Stice · Post #16 » by **Ortho Stice** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:07 am

No ball movement on offense whatsoever

Perkins is playing good defense, Howard doesn't usually make those shots

Joselo16 · Post #17 » by **Joselo16** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:14 am

No 3 sec call on Howard?!?

Avalanche · Post #18 » by **Avalanche** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:15 am

Need to keep these guys off the glass

Ortho Stice · Post #19 » by **Ortho Stice** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:18 am

I guess Pierce feels like he needs to take every shot tonight?

Avalanche · Post #20 » by **Avalanche** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:19 am

Rashard has like 6 offensive rebounds in 9 minutes
