Dickerson hasn't been ruled out of the picture just yet. And if you want to say that he is then replace him with a guy like Czezary Trybanski, Robert Archibald, or Chris Owens. They still have the advantage everywhere on the bench, and the only place that the Magic are better is Shooting Guard for the starting lineups. You can seriously doubt all you want, but you need to realize that the Magic aren't undefeatable at home. Stat wise the Grizzlies should crush them like a bug.
Dickerson is so damn good on NBA live...he had like 40 points v me..with like 8 threes....shame he will likely never play..in the real thing
He still has a 50% chance of coming back BY THE FIRST GAME even. He was our second best player next to Shareef in Vancouver.
match up hill, garrity and we'd win some. we have a better pf(if you start gasol at center, don't know if u will start stro or gasol at pf). i know we aren't undefeatable at home, but i just don't see how you have improved as much as we have, since u beat us last year, in a game that we basically gave u. don't forget that the grizz are my 3rd fav team, i like them a lot and love their future, i hope that they can somehow make the playoffs, but i just don't see how they will beat us again in orlando, that's just my opinion(one of a biased magic fan)
Hill is out. Garrity isn't as good as Person or Battier. Gasol is a Power Forward and it would be moronic to move him to Center. You really don't beat us anywhere except SG.

Tracy McGrady is a top 5 talent. Memphis doesn't have anyone that can match that. And it doesn't matter if Memphis is better at 4/5 positions or not. Lakers, 2 years ago, vs Sacramento......Sacramento was better at PG, SF, PF, and bench..................AND STILL LOST. All this player vs player comparisons, mean jack. It will boil down to team chemistry and other important issues, such as rebounding, defense, and when the time comes, who takes over. If its a close game, the edge is Orlando's bec. they are at home, and they have McGrady who can take over. If it comes down to getting a rebound, the edge is Memphis with Wright, Swift, Gasol as slight superiors to Howard, Gooden, and Hunter It all depends on how the game is played.......
dickerson is out too. i agree with vintage, the teams are so close that i think it depends who has the home court on who will win.
