@ Coaches Probable Starters Key Matchup Magic Keys * Cut down on turnovers Steve Francis is averaging 4 turnovers a game this year, but only had 2 last game at Portland. * Have a good shooting night, take smart shots last game Francis and Hill combined for 10-31 shooting from the field leading to Orlando's eventual defeat. Prediction Grant Hill has a huge offensive night against Walkers defense or lack there of. Scores 28 points Steve Francis chips in with 21 points and 8 assists. Magic lead from beginning to end final score 101-85. Also Hedo scores 15 off the bench and Howard gets 10+ rebounds.
i think this will not be a hard game for us. so is Mobley coming back?? any updates? well, hope our defence works and CUT DOWN the turnovers and don't give up second chance opportunities to the hawks. I predict we can win the game by 110-80, hehe Francis will get a triple double today!!! go MAGIC~!!!!!!!!
This will a good game and the Magic need to win after that hard loss to the Blazers. I am not sure if Mobley is playing but I hope so. We need him.
Yep, we really do need Mobley. After his abscense we really see how helpful and important to our team he is.
SO far in the game Stevenson is playing nicely. He has made 2 baskets(one taken away due to Goaltending by Francis) He also has one steal. We already have 4 TOs though we gotta limit them.
Yeah we do have to limit turnovers. As of right now we have 6 with 3:08 left in the first. The score is 21-24 Alanta lead.
Yes I know, dang, Stevenson just made another shot. So far each game i feel better and better about the magic. Nelson made the 3 to end the quarter. DANNNNNNNNNNNNNG is all i can say magic up 33-28
Yeah that three-pointer was awesome. He just threw it up with one hand and it swished. That should help his confidence as well. The score is now 37-35 Magic lead with 7:58 left in the seventh quarter. Howard is playing good with 8 points. Francis has a game high 10 points.
Guys we should just wait for the game to end to talk about the highlights of the ngiht. Having constant posts in this thread updating about the games big plays will only make it longer and a more extensive read. I mean if we wait for the game to end we can sum it all up in one post.
6:10 left it is 46-39 magic Did you see the 3-pointer by Turkoglu with very little time on shot clock? He has a quick release dude. He gets it and shoots it in a millisecond its amazing how fast it is. Pass-Shoot SWIISHHHHHHHh. EDIT: sry pure, i had it ready to post for a while then i just posted it and i saw your post(if that makes sense)
4:28 in the 2nd quarter magic up 51-41, So far Steve is %100 3-3 FG and 7-7 FT for 13 points in 14 minutes.He does have 4 turnovers, and 4 assists. If this is a close game at the end then he will get in the 0's in points, but if they have a big lead in the 4th he might be out of the game in the mid 20's.Dwight Howard is having a good offensive night with 12 points,Hill wioth 7 pnts.,and Turk with 9. [my bad Pure, no disrespect, I didn't see your post]
Yes we are...Turkoglu is injured maybe...havent heard for how long though...PLEASE let him be ok PLEASE let it just be a flesh wound...(a joke, if you have seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail you might understand)
90-86 after the 3rd quarter. This looks like a score after a full game not just 3 quarters. The Magic have to get back with it. They were playing so well through the first 2 and a half quarters now they arent doing well... A little ways through the 4th and they are ahead by 10. Playing great so far in this quarter
Magic win in a high scoring game. Jameer Nelson scored 11 points in 15 minutes of play our leading scorer was Steve Francis with 29 points he shoot 18 free throws made 17 of them had 6 assists as well as 6 turnovers. box score
This was a great game by the Magic. They won 117-99 and everyone played great. Dwght Howard scored a career high 24 points and also had 9 rebounds. Steve Francis had a game high 29 points along with 8 rebounds and 6 assists. We are playing so good these days and I love it! Dwight Howard was showing his offensive potential and playing great. The Magic shot 55% from the field and their offense looked spectacular. Jameer Nelson looked great coming off the bench with 11 points and he showed some of his skills. This game was the best the Magic have played all year and they are showing that they have the players and talent to win many games this season. Good game Magic and KEEP IT UP
Just saw the highlights. Howard looked like a much younger Shaq. If he keeps up his offense I can see him earning ROY.
Yes, I think he should get ROY rather then Okafor. Howard is on a team where he isnt the center of the team and he is still making great stats. On the other hand Okafor is the go-to guy on the Bobcats and he is their main player.

It is to early to really call or discuss who will be ROY.
