GT: Charlotte Vs Orlando - Round #1 Game #2

[Tupik]

We sure played like crap, but their defense is really good, and if they keep defending that way and we don't find any solution, I doubt we'll ever be able to bring our A game.

Hopefully playing at home will give us a big boost, because I really don't want to get swept.

"You guys should be glad for your 2 best players cause really, that is all you guys have. Magic have a squad, with enough proof to show in stats, and with their wins."

I don't see how you can say the stats show that outside of Howard and Carter, the Magic has a squad, while outside of Wallace and Jackson, the Bobcats don't.

ok, from what i am seeing is that the squad magic has can just about be the team to win it all (if not easily top 3 team overall in play-offs). Bobcats are like 2 or maby 3 key players to make this team to win it all, but are a great team. I just can't see this team really beating orlando, especially if one of your best players goes cold (like wallace in the first half of game 2), that was proof enough for me to know that you guys would need both jackson and wallace to play very well to keep the score almost the same as the magic. The magic really don't need their whole squad to play well to beat you guys, just enough 2 key players (like bobcats) to do most of the points, and the rest can do just average points. Now defense, yes i give you all the credit in the world for it, this what win games, but sure enough so can the magic. You guys lack offense and i hope i ain't the only one that can see that. IT all depends on how great your 2 key players play (scoring above 20s a game is a must i believe between the 2). Now i do expect next game at bobcats house, perhaps this will give them the boost and the pressure on them won't be as bad as to orlando. I won't say this series is a sweep, not until i see how orlando magic plays against bobcats at home. Until then, from what i am seeing, bobcats is a 2 man show with great role players that only knows how to play team defense (and do a good job).

P.S. again, you guys just need 2 more key players that plays their roles well, and then i will see this team at a 3rd place team, or dare i say it, second place (where orlando is at this time). You guys i am more worried and concern about next couple of seasons because of the potential!

Yes, the Cats are 2 key players away from being very good, but those key players aren't coming anytime soon. Our only hope for a big is if (and this is a MONSTEROUSLY HUGE IF) Ajinca can come to camp next year ready to finally play at the NBA level. We must get a better option at the PF or C spot. If Felton is gone, DJ will be our PG by default. We need a much better bench than Hulk or Hughes, so let's hope UPS and Henderson are ready next year. Our draft picks aren't playing AT ALL. LB must get them engaged next year.
