Game #40 Orlando Magic (25-14) @ Minn. Timberwolves (10-30) 

Post#1 » by chunnyboy » Sat Jan 15, 2011 7:01 am

It's a little early, but I thought I'd roll it out there

Image

Image

ONCE UPON A TIME...

Image

Image

PROBABLE STARTERS

Image
Image

COACHES - no joke needed

Image
Image

Image

And just follow Love around so he doesn't eat up all the boards

Magic Girl

PREDICTION:

Since the Magic don't lose when I start GTs....

108-89 Magic Win

Be very disappointed if the Magic don't win this one. Looking forward to seeing how the league's rebounding leaders do head to head.

This board will have another major meltdown if we lose this one.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

You got to start Ryan in this game imo....I don't want Love anywhere near the rim so he can grab rebounds....Start Ryan and just plant him at the 3pt line lol

This will be the start of another 9 straight wins and Kevin Love will get less than 10 rebounds because of Dwight :D



Well 10 straight... Mon 31 @ Memphis thats gonna be a win

This feels like a game where we coast for majority of the game with no energy

Awesome game thread Chunny! I believe that our team will bounce back and play solid on both ends of the floor in this game. I finally get to watch a game for once, so I'm looking for the team to get back on track... :D

LET'S GET IT MAGIC!!!

I don't believe in jinxes, but out of those games the most two important to win are against Chicago and Boston, and as long as we win those two, I'll cope with a collective brain fart from the team against a team like Detroit or Cleveland. I'm looking for wins against top teams--ones we'll face come playoff time. I'll be stoked though if they rattle off ten straight.

Also, nice thread. Hilarious pics.

Chicago is not where I see us losing. We seem to have their number. I think @Houston is where we fall.

The most important thing is to play good TEAM defense

Also, not chucking on offense (taking good shot selections, attacking the paint a lot will open up the perimeter), making free throws, and grabbing defensive rebounds helps (not giving up 2nd chance opportunities to the other team) a lot... and let's keep the pace uptempo... don't play into the other team's game

Go Magic, Defense is the key here, let's get it going

Score! Daniel Orton is now following me on Twitter because I was one of the first 50 people to Tweet him the name of the Black National Anthem.

Go me?
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)

If we start slow again I will be convinced a change is needed in the starting line-up.
