Yes, I am talking about the game that pits the Orlando Magic and the Utah Jazz together. No game thread, so I decided to make it.
its middle threw the first quarter..magic look really good quick question though...jameer nelson is wearing a sleeve on his arm...i thought the nba made a rule for players not to wear that anymore, and why excatly is he wearing it?
The Magic just went into Utah and beat the best team in the NBA 88-75. What an impressive win by our team. Dwight finished with 21 and 16 including 13-16 from the line(he missed his last 2, so he was 13-14 at one point)
And the best team stood standing at the end of it... Honestly we man handled those guys in the second half. If they didnt have that run in the last 3 mins it would have been a 20+ pt blowout... We are playing so well and the best part about it is D12 is making free throws. You cant guard him to begin with and now you cant just foul him. The key to our winning is having the second unit coming in. We dont rely on one player to handle the second unit, we have a group of guys that know they are all going in together. That makes for good team chemistry and it allows for different players to step up each night. GO MAGIC... 1 down 5 to go...
If we can somehow get through the rest of this road trip with a 3-2 record then we will be in great shape to be up at the top of the Southeast division.

Jesus Christ, why do people say things when they are completely clueless? It was only ever RUMORED to be the next thing to be banned... It wasn't banned. That's why Carmelo uses it every game. There's absolutely no reason to spit wrong information
Great win for the Magic, caught the highlights very early this morning before I left to go to work. The remaining games on the road trip will really show If the Magic are for real and could be a legit threat to win the east or not.
sorry guys i wont be making game threads for the next couple of days, just moved and the phone line is out
