9 pts, 7 assists, 4 rebs. The turnovers weren't so hot but he toned it down in the 2nd half and yes his defense on Rose was outstanding tonight.

I srsly thought we were going to lose... Sorry, I am a die hard Magic fan but until this Dwight situation (Trade deadline) is over I am going to be like this....

Once Mar 15th rolls around whether we make trade moves or not it is going to take a TON of pressure off our players and will allow them to relax and play ball without worrying if they are going to be here tomorrow or not..

The announcer on TNT said it best.....

When teams are going through trade rumor crap, it can really mess a player's head up... If they have kids, they have to worry about pulling them out of school... etc, etc etc...

I never really thought about that. As much money as they make... they are still humans..

I just want March 15th over with...

Yeah, Nelson did play good defense on Rose for most of the game

Let's crowdsource this one. RT @McPoppycock: in the history of NBA Basketball, has there ever been a worse rotation player than Chris Duhon?

Which one of you is McPoppycock?

Hahaha, that would be me.

I was thinking it was over, once Turk got that Tech..here we go again..but JRich hit some big threes and that injury which I hope isnt serious came at the right time..JJ hit some pressure shots at the end and moved off the ball well. I really dont get why everyone else just stands there and doesnt try to get open..anyway good solid win.

Any word on JRich's injury?

I'm shocked we came away with that one.

Dodged some Korver bullets, and showed a bit of mental toughness.

I'm more than happy to eat crow on my earlier comments.

All I'm hearing is it is a left ankle injury. No major details right now.

Magic being bipolar as usual. Who knows what to expect lol. It was a terrific effort, except for the bipolar mode to end the 2nd, giving up that 10pt run. Thought the game was over there only being up 5 at the half. Then giving up 10pt lead in the 4th. Thought it was over then. We even went about 8 mins without a FG in the 4th and still somehow won. Korver who shoots lights out against us, made his first 3 ridiculous shots, then somehow misses 2 wide open, practice type 3's in the final minutes and it was shocking, I thought for sure they were going in. Then Rose helps up out with the miss FT. We somehow overcome Hedo's bonehead tech. Got to give Dwight credit for showing up, its a shame he doesnt show up every game like this. I thought Jameer did a good job defending Rose in the 4th. Ryan had the game winner with that 3 pointer after Dwight got that huge reb, and then he comes up big again getting that offensice reb in the last minute. Ryan was clutch no doubt. I thought it was hilarious when the announcer questioned wether Jameer or Duhon should be out there defending Rose lol. Really Duhon? lol. Kinda feel like they gave us the win by missing some shots but you can say the same thing about the Cha game. We did have a lead for about 47 mins so its a deserved win. I thought we were cooked at halftime, gotta give the guys credit for staying with it against the team with the best record.

Good game guys. D12 was a beast as usual, but this was the softest defense he has ever played against us (still pretty damn good).

This team is an enigma, who the hell knows what team is going to be on the court one minute to the next.

We care... then we don't care, we try, then we don't try, we are clutch, then we aren't clutch.

Whatever, I can't wait till the trade deadline.

Crushed the Bobcats, what a joke.

Beat Chicago in Chicago next game... what the hell Orlando?

You guys live and die by the 3 point shot, you really can't effort a 26 foot shot in the hoop.

X-rays negative and a left ankle sprain. This will also be the second knee-bump bruise.

A recap of the injury:
