Game #57 Pistons at Magic ...

[ChosenSavior]

The Magic are probably going to lose the next two games. No Anderson, Hedo or Howard.

I disagree. the Wizards suck and the Pistons aren't that great either. we should win these games.

[OrlandO]

Another big game for big baby... book it.

[ChildishGambino]

To be honest i would shut down Dwight until the playoffs.

Um, no.

1) The 3 to the 6 seed are different by 1 game. All wins matter.

2) Howard's game is built on playing. He need to stay game-focused.


..

Um, yeah....who cares about seeding at this point when our best player is in the worst pain he's been in since he's been in the league....we're banged up....imo it's not a good look to be banged up going into the playoffs.....plus Dwight and most of our guys aren't Rookies who need to be "game-focused" they've been there and done that it's a bit more important to get healthy at this point at least in my perspective....

Magic Must Crush Pistons. Sure hope for a good game.

Seeding is critical come playoff time. Period!

This is a double-edged sword as both of you guys are correct for the most part. Gonna agree with Childish slightly because our playoff success mainly hinges on how far Dwight can take us. If he is not 100%, then we are in trouble. Besides this is a veteran team that is certainly capable of winning on the road.

To me, this is a blessing in disguise because I think as a team, we tend to rely on Dwight to erase every mistake on defense. Now these guys have to improve defensively and pick up the effort which will only help in the long run once Dwight is 100% healthy. This also enables Glen to continue getting in a rhythm and show us exactly what he is capable of.

When Glen was **** the bed earlier in the season I was slightly optimistic, I've always thought he played his best ball in the PO's. Hopefully his recent success is him "tuning up" for that. Dude is workin'!

Magic Must Crush Pistons.

Detroit is on a BtB were the got mauled last night in Miami. (and the @ Miami to @ Orlando is always brutal).

Orlando should be heavily predicted in this even without Howard. But even a win by one is a good win. Detroit is always a tough matchup for the Magic.

Some noise that Richardson-1 might miss with back issues. This would mean that there is no canonical SF for this game and that Richardson-2 must play SF alongside Redick at SG; basically all game for both.

I feel the same way bro. I didn't want to say that the trade was a full failure for us but it was hard not to with Bass playing the way he is in Boston and then Glen struggling with us. I finally think he is over all the mental trauma he dealt with earlier this year and is just focused on playing basketball.

I have to say the one thing I like about Baby is that the dude is confident regardless. His offense is a bit unorthodox, but he gives 100% on both ends and is just a smart defensive player. I really hope he can continue this because he will help immensely come playoff time.

Not paying $75 each if Dwight is not playing, otherwise maybe.

These tickets have a face value of $145... I understand your point, but I can't give away premium seats like this... this is buy 1 get 1 free essentially.

Well, and especially with the uncertainty of how Ryan is going to play. The type of game thats played in the PO's has obviously diminished Ryan's effectivness in the past ;so it's important that Davis can come in and produce at a high level since the team depends on that productivity from the 4 spot.

[ChosenSavior]

According to the Magic's website, Ryno is good to go for tonight.

Just talked to @iambigbaby11 and he clarified that it was a longboard that he was cruising the downtown streets on, not a skateboard. #ha!

Picture Big Baby flying down Orange Ave on a longboard...
