HAHA Nice! Let's keep it under 15 to give ourselves a chance in the 4th

Righto lads, I'll be at this game wearing my retro Stat #32, and a Suns cap. My girl will be wearing a Suns top of some sort too, and my buddy John will be wearing a Howard jersey

GO SUNS!!!

We should be aggressive and take it right to Howard and get him in foul trouble like the Pistons did last night.

hopefully Stat continues his uphill play and gets more aggressive tonight. if Frye can knock down his shots tonight, that would be unbelievably helpful against the Magic. Coming into a back to back tonight, it will be interesting to see if Nash and Hill can keep up with the amazingness they've showed thus far, it's a good sign of things to come for the rest of the season. Win or lose, if the intensity and effort that the team has shown so far is displayed, I'll be happy. (but winning would be nicer)

My keys to winning this game:

1. Amare and hill need to be agressive early, getting to the line and drawing fouls on Howard.
2. Starters need to come out blazing, creating an early lead. This will be important because then out bench can play extended mintues to keep Nash and Hill fresh for the 4th.
3. If Frye is hot tonight from downtown we will win this game. The more defensive pressure he pulls off of Amare the better.
4. Play with heart, gang rebound, and hustle!!!

If these things happen we will win. GO SUNS

On a side note, I just want to give props to sprite master Hill. Three double doubles in four games?!? He only had FIVE total last season. It's an honor to have him on this team. Hands down one of my favorite players in the league.

This game will be very tough to win. Orlando isn't even at full swing yet so we need to steal this one from them while we can. We really need to get the line early and often. Our free throw shooting has been pretty horrendous but I expect that tp pick up as the season progresses.

This game can go either way, it's all going to depend on who's offense clicks.

Is Hill still being booed in Orlando?

The Orlando Magic are the team that my dude on the My Player game mode in 2K10 got picked up by. they put me in as PG over Nelson my first game and ended up trading Nelson away after 10 or so games for Mario Chalmers and James Jones. They also traded a few other players... the trading in 2K10 MyPlayer mode is kind of out of control. So many teams I've played have done so many ridiculous trades.

sorry, that was kind of off-topic.

My guy got put on the Houston Rockets then got sent to the D-League after one game and got put on the Austin Toros so I immediately said "screw this I am not being affiliated with the Spurs" and started over.

Yeah. The teAm that makes the most shots should win.

Get Howard in foul trouble early, keep Amare out of foul trouble early. Key to the game right there.

Wouldn't hurt to get Nashty to play like he did last night either... :wink:

Good luck tonight. I for one will not be booing Hill. Still one of my favorite ex-Magicians.

On the My Player thing, I agree the trading is out of control.

I actually got picked up by the Magic (lucky coincidence) as a 6'8" SF and somehow our roster has Louis Williams and Jarvis Hayes and missing Redick, Anderson, Barnes and Pietrus. We got some horrible value there.

Another interesting trade was TMac for Ray Allen straight up.

I got picked up by the Pistons. Then they traded the whole team for PGs, Rip Hamilton was starting at PF! At one point there was my character(PG), Kidd, Calderon, Stuckey, and Will Bynum on the team. Then Ben Gordon starting at SF. So, I left the team and signed with the Lakers(the other options were Spurs and Pistons) so I can finally start.

The trading is out of control. The team traded Bynum for Nate Robinson.

Should be a great game that comes down to the last minute to decide the winner.
