Atlanta have to contain McGrady from accomplishing this achievement.[/list] <ul>Out Rebound The Magic- If Atlanta can out rebound the Magic they have a better chance at winning this game. Getting rebounds means getting second chances that turn into leads. Atlanta has to do this[/list] <ul>Have Confidence- The Hawks need to have confidence that they can win this game. If they don't then the Magic can blow them out. Keep them heads up Atlanta.[/list] <u>Orlando</u> <ul>McGrady's Back- The Magic needs McGrady's back to be in good shape in tonight's game. When it isn't they almost always lose.[/list] <ul>Defense- The Magic need to play a decent defensive game tonight. They need to get stops early to maintain a substancial lead.[/list] <ul>Make Themselves Useful- The Magic need to make themselves useful. If they have an open shot, take it and make it. If they don't make it hustle to get the rebound. If the team is down get them up. They have to do everything they can to get this team hype and incouraged to win this game.[/list] Prediction The Magic have beaten the Hawks seven times in a row. I think this game is going to make it 8. Magic by 4
I was so illusionated waiting for tonight's game because a few weeks ago I heard Grant Hill was coming back tonight , I guess it wasn't right but oh well , We won against them like 3 games ago AT Atlanta so this should be an easy one for the Magic. Magic by 9.
Good preview, TimFlem A battle of two teams that have had long frustrating seasons, so if I had a say on whoever wins, I'll go with the magic because Tracy McGrady can explode at any given time. Magic by 10.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_Fever_834:</div><div class="quote_post"> I'll go with the magic because Tracy McGrady can explode at any given time. Magic by 10.</div> Tracy can only explode when his back is o.k. if it ain't then he can't explode. I stated that in my keys to the game.
i think his back is o.k and the magic will win by 8 come on, against atlanta. let's play the young guya johnny davis!! i will listen it on wdbo and watch by gamecast.
Atlanta will win by 4! Hello, They best the 3-time champs! LOL Then lost to the Cavs by 73 points the following night. Here's to hoping the team against the Lakers show up.
