[OrlandO]

Orlando is 64-46 all-time vs. Washington (39-17 at home, 25-29 on the road) during regular season action, including 1-1 this season. The Magic lost all four matchups with Washington last season. Orlando had lost 12 straight meetings with the Wizards before winning on Nov. 5. Orlando has lost 13 straight games to Washington when John Wall has played. Orlando has lost the last nine trips to Washington (last road win: Feb. 29, 2012). The Orlando Magic are currently 5-6 on the road this season

“To first of all finish off the trip with four wins, that would be great,” swingman Evan Fournier said after the Magic completed their shootaround at the Verizon Center. “That’s a team that we always struggle against. To get a win here, being the most physical team tonight, that’s the way we can win a game. They have guys that gave us problems in the past.”

God I want this win so bad. We all know how this wiz team gives us fits for whatever reason. This one is gonna be tough once again. But if we can continue to play great d and make extra passes for easy basketball we may be able to pull this one out. We gotta contain their 3 ball as well. Go magic

[ChosenSavior]

Great thread. Let's continue to be road warriors out there and get this win. Have to limit transition buckets, rebound at a high rate, and continue to share the basketball.

[PrimeThyme]

I'm so tired of losing to the wizards. We just need to keep playing elite D and close to average offense and we will have a good shot in most of the games we play. Hopefully we can end the road trip 4-1

[Mc-o]

I think our guys want this game bad!! especially after last game!! we gonna shut them down! lets blow them out

[OrlandO]

Fournier better come out firing...

BEAL: "I didn't want Fournier to catch the ball. I didn't even want him to even breathe"

also reminder that the last meeting vs wiz jeff green did absolutely nothing for the first 8 minutes and last 6 minutes of the game... we had to claw our way out of a hole early and lost our lead late thanks to him. Will we get the good Green tonight?

I've nEver wanted us to demolished and destroy a team so much. Evan career highs!

I have this deep wanting of trashing that Wash. team. There isnt a team that angers me more that last few years, especially because they are dysfunctional and we have blown so many games to them, Humphries going all Klay on us, plus they are jerks as evidenced by the choke on Evan. Really want to trash that team.

aaand, if I'm remembering it right they are the team that started our big collapse light year.

Yes you are correct. We had a deveastating loss against them, game we should have won, one of several to them, and then all the wheel fell off.

Biggest statement game of the year so far?

[Mc-o]

Gordon is going to have his best game of the year and score 20 first quarter points but will only finish with 26 for the game. (frank will sit him the entire second quarter) lol

[Tricky_Kid]

Very nice tread! I want this qame badly cause I bet with my brother you aren't be in playoffs this year. I want Jack Daniels badly so I am rooting against U. No offense.
Morris is in slump lately and he can't keep his mouth shut. As u noticed he is leading in Tech cathegory.
Ibaka and Jeff Green those two I am afraid most tonite. Good luck.

This is the team I probably dislike the most. They'd celebrate their wins against us like it was the playoff's. We must keep Walls out of the paint or it will be a loooong night.
