This game is going to take a lot of energy from our guys... but it's winnable ... play hard and get a win... Go Magic!

Great! Nice GT! This should be fun to watch. Two teams that can't play defense, but can score a bunch of points. I predict a Magical Victory.

An interesting test. Both teams are riding high after a good win. And neither team is that burnt out. Should be a barn-burner. One must like the over for this one.

GSW is a weird team: they seem really dangerous, especially playing against the best teams (Heat, Bulls), but then they're only 3-6. A deceptive trap-game where we have to play hard and focused- OKAY, I can't do this. Those girly pics are making me uncomfortably randy. Time to... um... punch the dolphin. Yeah...

Orlando is 6th in points surrendered.
Orlando is 8th in points differential.
Orlando is 12 in opponent FG%
Orlando is 7th in rebounds allowed, 6th in offensive rebounds allowed.

The main defensive stats Orlando could improve on is TOs forced and steals created.

But Orlando can play defense.

Lets hope they can't stop Howard even though his offensive game is one of the most predictable in the NBA!

Orlando-101
Golden State- 91

Nelson's decent play from Last night carries over/ 14 points 6 Assists
J-Rich has an average offensive game but again is trash defensively/ 12 points 2 Rebounds 2 Assists
Hedo has a decent all around game/ 15 points 5 Assists 5 Rebounds
Ryan's play from last night carries over/ 18 points 10 Rebounds 1 Block
Dwight more or less Plays to his averages tonight/ 20 points 15 Rebounds 3 Blocks

We get the rest of the points from the Bench obviously

But Orlando can play defense.

They can play "D" in spurts. But, opponents get way too many looks or lanes to the basket. Too many guys wide open. Now, if the opponents actually hit those shots at a 10% higher percentage, then those stats are meaningless. Too small of a sample size at this stage. Standard Deviation is like 20% at this point.

Great thread, thanks Belgian.

Potential trap game, hopefully last night's game didn't tire our guys out. I'd like to see the ball movement continue.

Magic by 6 Go Magic !

You've been warned, the Magic are legit !!!

Last year they beat us in GS by 3 in OT, while setting the NBA 3 point record. It was a wild game. I'm HOPING we can win and keep them under control tonight.

yeah it was very exciting

I hope we can shut these guys down a little.
I predict Dwight will have a low point high rebound game
JJ Redick will go off for 17+

I'm guessing we'll have another high 3PT% game

Indeed it was! It sucks when other teams are making it rain 3 pointers on you :lol:

I'm pretty sure they set the record for most 3 pointers made in a game by both teams, correct me if I'm wrong. I think both teams made around 40 3s or something.

I hope you didnt mean the warriors set the record for threes in a game, because we still own that record with 23...

This seems like a good game to get Jason going in the post a little.

That is what i'm going to be looking for...Hopefully Stan takes advantage....They have the overall advantage in that matchup because...it's Ellis vs Richardson...Duh...but we have a height and weight advantage and we should use it......

Edit: here is a link to the league leader stats so far....see if some of our players are on these lists...http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... aders.html
