<div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">He burns martin and nets almost all the time.</div> Last season, McGrady said he'd never been defended that well when going against him.

If anyone were to get in foul trouble during this game it would be the Magic players. Howard, Gooden, and DeClercq are all less respected and will have the task of defending (in my opinion) the best player in the league. If the Magic take this game, Duncan will have to get in foul trouble and everyone on the Magic will step up. I just don't see that happening tonight.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ice Breaker:</div><div class="quote_post">Last season, McGrady said he'd never been defended that well when going against him. Martin has the long arms and high intensity to cause matchup problems.</div> I remember him saying that about artest never about martin. Let's see I can remember 2 games right now where he killed them. last year when he got his 2nd triple double and had like 46 points I think and the year before that where martin came out talking a lot of junk before the game where he was going to shutdown t-mac and stuff. T-mac killed him the whole game to the point where martin tried to take his head off on a flagrant foul and they both got ejected.
Well both players have had their battles, but lets face it..Martin can defend McGrady. In their last matchup, McGrady had 20 on 6-14 shooting. Martin did a great job in keeping the ball out of his hands as well <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">I remember him saying that about artest never about martin. </div> I sure do. I'll look around for a link later.

But enough of that I can't wait for the game I hope it's a close one.
Tmac will come out and want to win. He'll get 25 pts and 10+ assists. He could get a triple double tonight, depending on if Duncan gets 30 boards. I still think the Spurs will win though, but only by 4.
Halftime Magic 40 Spurs 50 Tracy McGrady:4-10 shooting, 16 points, 5 rebounds Juwan Howard: 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 fouls Andrew Declerq:4 points, 3 fouls As expected, Howard and Declerq are in foul trouble. Tim Duncan:16 points, 10 rebounds Manu Ginobili:6 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds Tony Parker: 8 points, 5 rebounds Bruce Bowen is in foul trouble as well, (3 PF) but has done a great job on McGrady Box Score Recap
Yeah. We gave up 15 straight pts before Zaza stopped a 7 min scoring drought with a basket with 3 secs left. We couldn't hit a shot down the stretch. Hopefully we'll win next game.
Welp, the Magic lose. Td is just too hard to stop. But, if we could of hit more shots, we might have had a chance to win that game. Both teams played hard.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Prophecy:</div><div class="quote_post">Both teams played hard.</div> Rasheed Wallace is that you?
Not surprised.. The Spurs are too hot. 10 Straight... Magic cant beat that coming off a great game yesterday.. they had to be worn out..
The Magic are missing a defensive presence. Letting any team go on a fifteen point run is rediculous, even if it is the Spurs. Instead of wasting their offseason searching for a 'big man' they should have looked for a defensive player. Who do you think they'd rather have now, Juwon Howard or James Posey?
Only problem is the last time the Knicks came to Orlando they held us to a franchise low 25% shooting. We always look around sorry teams like the Knicks. We might lose again to them. It will be a very close game.
