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

ONCE UPON A TIME...

PROBABLE STARTERS

COACHES - no joke needed

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.

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

Kevin Love 29pts 18rbs

Dwight Howard 31pts 23rbs

Magic win 109-96

Jameer 2-8 5pts

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

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...

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.

Can't lose this one. Magic by 10.

ADRajX · Post #15 » by **ADRajX** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 2:50 pm

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?

i think we'll lose this one by 1/2 a point. don't ask how, we just will.

Must win game. We can't have a 3 game losing streak.

Stan says we're going with same starting lineup tonight.

Crap.

We're going to have a slow start once again

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