SVP show saying they think Indiana is going to kill us tonight. I'm so excited about this game. I just hope we have ourselves in striking distance in the 4th quarter and it's at least close. I wouldn't be let down with a loss, as long as it was close, I can't deal with a blowout right now.

Our team just needs to stay motivated and to play with fire and intensity... always remember that the whole world thinks we shouldn't even be here right now... keep FIGHTING and HUSTLING! Go Magic!

I think this the most winnable one of the remaining games.
what they have today, isn't a home game advantage. it's rather a stress factor that's hurting them. we own their arena for quite some time now and their fans don't like it. there's a great chance that they're gonna choke again if we keep it close.

I hope we go all sea-biscuit on them: keep it real close until the 4th quarter and then make it rain 3s! that's how you break a team's will, they'd phone it in the rest of the series.

I'll take a win anyway we can get one though!

I like the attitude - of taking the game to him. But that didn't work so well in G1, as in 4 blocked shots.

Well, Ryan is coming off of one of his worst games of the season (yes I realize that they focused their defense on him, but he could still rebound and shoot better), so we should get more from him tonight.

Half of those were fouls - replays show contact with Baby's wrist. Refs will eventually call it, especially when the game swings back to Orlando. Can't tell baby to stop being aggressive or we'll get the horrible side of him that we saw earlier in the season. Also, he got 3 blocks of his own, well above his average.

still waiting on any info, anyone?

In the Jameer Presser another thread:

I found it interesting that he brought up the fact that he talks to Dwight daily and that they talk about the team staying focused and around the "we all we got" montra.

So got to figure that they spoke after the game on Sat.

thx Hector.

Ya definitely not a good game for Ryno.. but I was encouraged by his off the ball movement and screen setting.. Still helped a lot in the game by remaining active even when the offense wasn't going his way. Hope to see some more contribution from him tonight for sure though.

You say "heart", I say "doesn't learn quickly"

I dunno... It sets a bad precedent especially for our bigs that its ok to shoot outside all the time since you are gonna get blocked if you take it to the hole

OT, was hoping he dropped some Magic player names, but Arenas and his thoughts on players having no conscience.

Haha, imagine what the Indiana fans feel like then

Tough game. Magic are more experienced than Indiana. That can give the edge. 1st quarter is important.

The game isn't even on tv tonight? Bummer.

I'm worried about Indy's 1 and 2 getting wide open looks since we're going all out to lock down the box and are really leaving them open outside the 3pt line. Jameer is helping on Hibbert and J-Rich helps on West, leaving Hedo 1-1 with Granger which is fine.

Yeah I agree with you but we have to give up something. Paul George I fear a lot because I believe he is their most talented player, however I am not worried about George Hill or Darren Collison. We just need to rotate very quickly and run them off the 3 point line to make them take tougher shots.
