I always like playing in the Yay Area!

Lets get a victory here, and tie Miami for that division lead!

EDIT: meant I like watching Orlando play GS, lol.

I think Orlando will win but I think it will be because of Anderson. He got some extra rest yesterday not playing in the fourth. I also look for wafer to have an impact in this game (I think Stan will insert him as the two on occason to combat the Nate and Monta backcourt). I don't think dwight will do much because this is a game where foul trouble is really probable. I don't think Jameer/Duhon can keep Monta and Nate out of the lane and I think howard will pick up a few fouls trying to contest their shots. Last night portland took a lot of floaters over howard instead of going into his body. I don't think Golden State will do that.
Orlando - 97
GS - 91
Victory Sweater Vest - Ryan Anderson with 23 and 9 honorable mention to Glen Davis with 16 and 11

I cant see us pulling this out after last night. Warriors will be running up and down the floor, and I think their offensive firepower will be too much. Dwight also needs to wake up.

I think Horford is out like 3-4 months. Magic could get a strong hold of the EC being Boston and NY are struggling. Heat are rough now, but they will be tough post all-star break. Magic could possibly snag 2nd spot in the East, but they gotta be consistent down the stretch.

Kwame done for 4 months with similar injury to Hartford. GSW better hope Biedrins stays on the court.

Lol. Biedrins stays on the court. Dude is a foul machine. Maybe not that bad, but he has always had foul trouble. Tonight, he faces Dwight. I reckon to see David Lee at Center more often.

Vegas has us favored by three points in this game.

I like Golden State +3.

I am 5-3-2 against the spread when picking Magic games this season.

Not to long ago, you said you were, 5-1-1. So you have went 0-2-1 since?

interested to see which Dwight howard shows up tonight.

Someone is putting up 40 points. I just don't know which player or which team. This is going to be another up and down barnburner.

Great game thread as usual Belgian. This game should be very interesting considering all of the wins from Golden State have come against the good teams in the East so far. Despite their injury problems, they are still explosive on offense. Monta is always tough but we have got to keep Dorrell Wright in check. I think he is the key in this game with his versatility and the fact that he is one of the better 3 point shooters in the league.

The theme again will be to play with great energy on both ends and move that ball on offense. We are so much more dangerous when we play that way. We do that, then we will get this win. I expect Dwight to bounce back and Jameer is starting to round into shape so I see him playing well again. LET'S GET IT!!! 8-)

Good luck pic FTW...

That is what i'm going to be looking for...Hopefully Stan takes advantage....They have the overall advantage in that matchup because...it's Ellis vs Richardson...Duh...but we have a height and weight advantage and we should use it......

Edit: here is a link to the league leader stats so far....see if some of our players are on these lists...http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... aders.html

What's Win Shares? because Ryan is 9th in Win Shares, and 3rd in Win Share Per 48 Minutes.

I fell asleep in 2nd half last night (yes I know I suck lol) but glad to see they won and hopefully they can get another one tonight !

The best stat line last night was Howard's 4 assists.

He's now averaging 2 apg.

I want that number to 3.5

Game from last year in GS still haunts me. It went against every single principle of basketball I was ever taught. No Curry or Kwame for them. We should crush them early and not let them breathe afterward. If we D up, we'll win this easy.

Not watching the TNT broadcast and i'm not sure if it'll be on sunsports so i'm hitting the streams...Tired of Kenny having something smart to say about us....Dude is filled with Backhanded compliments
