Just a suggestion, can we please start putting the Game Time on the threads? i visit this site 2 check the time n haven't seen it lately. Thanks


Updated.

As far as Meer is concerned, I think he should relax another game. Magic have many mismatches in their favor here. Duhon and Hughes could use the work to get better for later in the season. Even though Hughes played poorly in the last game, I remember how well he played against the Heat last week. I feel he was just off and is just coming back to the NBA. He will be a solid veteran as the season progresses. I like his fluid movement though as it can be deceptive to defenders.

The O-Sen just reported that Nelson is a gametime decision.

I am also in the camp that thinks Nelson should sit another game just to be sure.....Remember in the finals when Stan brought Nelson back and killed all the chemistry we had?.....Although this is not of the same importance it's kinda the same situation.......other than that...needless to say....WIN

Meer coming back to soon may slow down the offense as he will be more tentative. I am enjoying a few Duke style fast breaks from Duhon and JJ.

I nominate this game thread as best of all time.

Magic win by double digits.

Ryan Anderson leading scorer again.

Dwight 20 plus rebounds again.

anyone know if meer is playing?

Great game thread. The special effects of the Hedo-eating-pizza pic is hilarious.

Thanks guys. I found that while searching Toronto Pics. Just fit perfectly. Meer is a gametime decision at the moment.

Cool thread but I think your overdid it on the special effects

Too many pics that explode .. maybe 3 max would have been good .. or maybe even just the one of the Arena

Bargnani looks like a big turkey .. hopefully he lays an egg tonight

This is the first time, in my entire life, I've been adrenaline-pumped, sick to my stomach and out-of-control-horny all within the span of 30 seconds.

I yelled, vomited and chummed all over myself. Bravo.

Magic win.

Our defensive efficiency rating is 95.3 for the first 4 games, which is 7th overall in the league. Obviously things can change a lot at such an early stage of the season with such a small sample size, but it's an encouraging start (to put it in perspective, CHI led the NBA with a defensive rating of 97.2 last year).

I hope we play good defence on Derozan, he killed us last season.
