Last Guardian wrote:Maybe Wafer should be backup PG? He can handle the ball, he has been passing well, he can break down the defense, he is fast as hell and he is tall. Just a thought. Our defense is usually poor against PGs anyway, he certianly does more than Duhon and seems more comfortable than Ish.

I have been saying for the longest time JJ would be better than Duhon at backup PG, but now I am thinking that Wafer would be better also. At least they have size to defend against the smaller PG's of the league.

It would be nice to have a team out on the court all 6'5" or taller.

We are not a scrub team even hobbled so I fully expect a win from the Magic tonight.

If we can't beat the Bobcats in a playoff-type atmosphere game, then we're going to crushed by Indiana OR Miami. So however this game goes....... meh

Lol you sure about the playoff type atmosphere? I'm expecting more of a library type

Aren't they on a 21 game losing streak? I don't want to be the team that snaps that...

Statistically we are 2 games ahead of them with 2 games left. If we win this game, then Orlando clinches 6th, because we would have one more game left and IF we lose that game we would end up losing 29 games to their 30, that's if they win both games they have as well.

A +1 point win from a 40 foot 3-pointer at the buzzer: I will define that as "CRUSH BOBCATS".

Any win is a good win.

A "crush win" means that the starters can rest (and sleep through the final game).

A win and no injuries.

How we get that win, I don't care. I'd take scoring a technical FT 10seconds into the game and BBD hiding the ball under his shirt and telling the ref's the bobcats have it for 47 minutes and 50 seconds, sealing that 1-0 win.

It could happen, just saying ...

Magic x Bobcats, Game of the Season. Who could imagine it?

Orlando Sentinel reporting Turk may be back as early as tonight, probably tomorrow.

Although it is more likely he will play in Thursday night’s regular-season finale in Memphis, there is a chance that Hedo Turkoglu will make his return from injury when the Orlando Magic host the Charlotte Bobcats tonight in a game critical to the Magic’s playoff position.

Turkoglu has been cleared for contact, and he participated in the Magic’s shootaround today. But the mask he wore to protect his surgically repaired right cheekbone didn’t feel quite right, and Turkoglu and athletic trainer Keon Weise are attempting to get the proper adjustments made today.

“I want to be able to play with those guys before we start in the playoffs at least one game,” Turkoglu said. “I was going to try it tonight, but the mask, I don’t know if it’ll be done to that time or not. I would love to play tonight and at least two games, but tomorrow for sure I want to get some playing time and get some feeling playing with those guys.”

Getting Turk back could be big for us. Very glad to hear about this.

If Hedo is not in shape he will hurt more than help.

Hedo i would want to play to get a feel for our "We all we got" guys....get some rhythm with these guys under real game situations....Jameer though....why risk it? rest him another game.....why do we have a penchant for wanting to bring guys back early?
