<font face="Tahoma"><div align="center"> . When- January 5th, 2005 Where- Orlando TV: Sunshine Last Games Raptors 105, Magic 94 Chicago 90, New Jersey 94 . In the Magic's recent and on going slump Davs' faults as a coach have become more apparent then ever. his lack of making good offensive schemes and other things have started to be brought out in a whole new light. It will only continue to happen until the Magic get out of this losing streak over the last ten games they have gone a pathetic 2-8 losing to many teams under or around .500 . It has become disgusting to watch this team at times hopefully they can pull out of this downward spiral today. <font color="DeepSkyBlue">Steve Francis</font>-PPG 22.0 RPG 6.20 APG 6.9 <font color="DeepSkyBlue">Cuttino Mobley</font>-PPG 17.6 RPG 3.1 APG 1.9 <font color="DeepSkyBlue">Grant Hill</font>-PPG 19.6 RPG 4.1 APG 3.8 <font color="DeepSkyBlue">Dwight Howard</font>-PPG 10.6 RPG 10.1 APG 1.2 <font color="DeepSkyBlue">Tony Battie</font>-PPG 5.2 RPG 6.7 APG .6 <font color="DeepSkyBlue">Hidayet Turkoglu</font> -PPG 13.1 RPG 3.4 APG 2.1 Not much for me to break down about the team this time around. Everyone has been pretty bad during this stretch Stevey has to stay out of foul trouble he is often getting frustrated after a mistake and just fouling the opposing player the next time down the court. Mobley has been some what cdonsistant for the team, but he needs to continue to do what he has been doing and step it up a bit. Same goes for Grant Hill he is still playing like a all star, but not a twenty points per game one. Cato being back has some what hurt team chemistry they are trying to readjust to having him it can only help from now on. <font color="DarkGreen">Jerome James</font>- PPG 3.8 RPG 2.40 APG .3 <font color="DarkGreen">Reggie Evans</font>- PPG 5.6 RPG 8.5 APG .5 <font color="DarkGreen">Rashard Lewis</font>-PPG 21.9 RPG 5.4 APG 1.1 <font color="DarkGreen">Ray Allen</font>- PPG 23.9 RPG 4.3 APG 4.2 <font color="Green">Luke Ridnour</font>-PPG 8.6 RPG 2.3 APG 6.1 <font color="DarkGreen">Antonio Daniels</font>-PPG 12.2 RPG 2.0 APG 4.4 *Come out of the gate strong during this losing streak the team has had it has fell behind every game at the start and never come back start tis game on a run, and it will give you some breathing room and you can get into the flow of things.It will also allow you to run your offense with more patience waiting for the best shot rather than jacking it up to be the hero. * Hit the boards this team is the number one rebounding team in the league. They got to start rebounding like they are that again today is there chance. MagicMan Projected stats: 25 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists Sorry for not making it indepth today my head hurts and I cant think straight. Anyway dont see us winning this game final score probably Seattle by ten the best team in the league argueable against a slumping team seems almost to obvious who will win hope Im wrong though.</font></div>
Nice. I agree with you. Sonics are coming in with a lot of momentum after breaking the Heat's long winning streak. Although, it seems that the Magic play better against better teams, so it might actually be a close game. My prediction is Sonics by 15 though.
Good prediction's guys. I bet my supervisor lunch on Sunday on this game tonight. I took Seattle minus 2.5 points over Orlando. I think I'm safe on this one.
YES finally a win a vrs the sonics Stevio really proved he is a superstar. 33 points and lighting up on defense and offense no offense but Ridenhour was no match for the Franchise. Great game finally deserved a win and got 1 now play like that they will beat everyone. We got a little lucky with missing alot of 3s and prob taking to many but they were contested so the defense really picked up alot. Iam glad they watched there past games and saw there defense i emailed the magic about watching there games and improving. GG both Sonics and Magic Keep it up!
Man that is how we play, JUST DO IT EVERY GAME. We have now beyond doubt proven that we can play basketball with the big boys, we I think our biggest flaw is losing the easy games. Thats 2 big wins at home vs top western teams, yet we still drop to teams like raptors and knicks. Stevie just proving how great he really is.
