R1G2 - Orlando @ Indy - Mon 7:30

[BelgianMagic]

Indiana may have an advantage in Height & Talent, but we're winning because we're playing with Heart & Energy

I've never been more proud of this team than right now. This is what we've all been wanting to see from our team

[vinageras]

I think I am in love with a BIG FAT MAN, no homo

[ORLMagicGirl15]

So... where are those Stan haters!?!

Screw em. They'll push their agenda when it is convenient. Let's stay focused guys!

Not a Stan hater or lover, but I'm not watching the game only scoreboard watching so I can't comment on the game.

I find it amusing that all of us always gloat or pout depending on the game not allowing the game to play out before we make huge generalization and even more so during the playoffs. Last night, I was reading the Clips vs. Grizzlies board and accusations, generalizations and criticism thrown back and fourth, disrespecting each other and then silent when the Clips won.

Baby has truly earned my respect. Ever since I talked to him in Philly, i've viewed him in a different light. At first I wanted him off the team, but he is the definition of heart. This guy leaves it all on the court and his demeanor is exactly what this team needs.

"Yeah, I need to make free throws. This is playoff basketball and you can't miss free throws."

I also think that it's not a coincidence that our TO's are down without Dwight...and the pace and flow is amazing. Our offense is so slow with Dwight in. I mean I'd love to have him Dwight, but sometimes when we're always looking for him makes the rest of the guys slow down and watch. This way we see everyone moving and that's causing them problems. Love it.

We need to start the third attacking Hibbert...buddy already has 2 fouls and a third will hurt him and throw him off his game.

Meer with 2 points and 0 assists. We have room to improve 2nd half.

I never liked the offense with Dwight in the game, I hate the 4-1 offense. I think Dwight is the type of player that can adjust to the team's offense if it benefits the team, at least I hope he would.

Shame d12 isn't more like him?

Let's hope Nj land a top 3 pick.

[Javanar]

After the first half :
Indiana shoot 47% from the field, Magic 32%
Indiana 100% from the line, moreover we are 6-17 from the 3. Bu we are leading.

By the way we are outrebounding them by 5, despite the absence of Howard.

Nobody would believe these stats before the game I think.

If Orlando wants to trade Dwight, he can be traded to ANY team, he does not need to be traded to NJN and I don't want anyone from there.

Me too, I've been saying this for a while. I personally do not like watching 4-1. It's lame IMO.

Also, our backcourt has combined for a total of 2pts on 1-9 shooting. That's the same backcourt that scored 34 last game and played a huge factor in the win. Crazy that we're leading all things considered.

[vinageras]

I'm really amazed and grateful for having the team playing this way #WeAllWeGot

[rcklsscognition]

Can anyone give a recap of BBD and/or Ryan's halftime interview? I'm on a European feed talking about soccer.

[OrlandO]

Just remembered Duhon's deep three from the first half... haha.

[RookieStar]

I just hope Jrich is alright. We really need him. Those 3s in game 1 won that game for us.

Any more news if Jrich can get back in the 2nd half?

Ryno was very serious the whole time. Unfortunately, I did not hear a thing he said because I was waiting for him to say Dante the whole time... he didn't say Dante btw.

I'm hesitant to trade Dwight. I'd like to see Dwight play with Baby next season and hopefully the Magic can make an upgrade at SF (Iggy/JSmoove dreams). I think that would be huge and place us at the top.

[FFBlitzace]

We'll have the ball here to start the half. I think opening the quarter with a basket, and a good first few minutes expanding or at least maintaining the lead and not allowing any kind of Indy run, will be big.

[Last Guardian]

We'd win the championship if Dwight had big baby's mentality.
