    Keys To The Game

    <u>Nuggets</u>
    Run The Floor
    Get the Magic into foul trouble early, as their bench isn't deep
    Make McGrady work on the defensive end so he'll get tired on offence
    Let Camelo get in the flow of the game

    <u>Magic</u>
    Get McGrady going, he's got 2 straight 40+ point games
    Try to get Nene and Camby in foul trouble
    Create turnovers, the Nuggets have had some bad games with turnovers
    Run The Floor

    cArMeLo's take

    The Nuggets have been playing great ball as of late, while the Magic are playing poorly (when havn't they). However, with the Magic responding to Tmac's comments, and a big win against the Jazz, the Nuggets shouldn't take Orlando too lighty, as it almost cost them in an earlier meeting. However, I'll take the Nuggets to defeat the Magic by 11.

    TMac with 40+ = The W

    Or you can say Tmac with 40+ and no help from teammates as usual = loss.

    Mcgrady scored 40 last time and Nuggets still managed to win the game.

    Team basketball will pull the Nuggets through.

    Damn, I gotta start recruiting some Nuggets fans. This forum is always dead after a couple of posts.
