Who: Orlando Magic and Philadelphia Sixers When: 7:00 PM ET Where: T.D. Waterhouse Centre <u><font size="3">Projected Starting Lineups</font></u> <font color="Blue"><u>Orlando Magic</u></font> <font size="1">(Steve Francis, Hedo Turkoglu, Grant Hill, Dwight Howard, Kelvin Cato)</font> <font color="Blue"> 6th Man</font> <font size="1">Doug Christie</font> <font color="Red"><u>Philadelphia Sixers</u></font> <font size="1">(Allen Iverson, Andre Igoudala, Kyle Korver, Kenny Thomas, Samuel Dalembert)</font> <font color="Red">6th Man</font> <font size="1">Corliss Williamson</font> <u><font size="3">My Prediction</font></u> The Magic are coming off a hard loss to ex-Magic player, Tracy McGrady and Houston Rockets. The Magic need to bounce back and win this game. Steve Francis VS. Allen Iverson should be a great matchup and it will be great to watch. I think the Magic have the advantage in all all areas except for point guard spot. I predict a 96-89 win for the Magic in this game.
Good to see that you're trying Crossover3, but don't you think the preview would be a little better if you provided some analysis on the game? Like maybe the most notable match-up of the game or the keys to the game or something? But like I said, at least you tried. As for the game, I'm going with the Magic's on this one. If Iverson doesn?t go for at least 40+ points, I find it quite difficult for the 76ers to pull out a win. The 76ers have really been slacking lately, and again I just don't see how they will win. But as usual when I predict the 76ers will lose, they always surprise me and put them self in a position as if they have a legitimate chance at winning and as I start realizing that they actually have a chance at winning they just end up losing in a heartbreaker. So I'm expecting some similar. 84-96 Magic
This game is gonna be awesome,Orlando is a better team on the paper but I think we could get a win here,Sixers just have to think the same and get the shot going from early on. 103-97 Sixers-Orlando

Ya man this should be a great game. I think in order for the Sixers to win this one we should put Andre Igoudala on Steve Francis IMO. Andre is really fast and should definetly be able to keep up with Steve Francis. If Andre can somehow get in Steves head and frustrate him that would be GREAT for us. The Sixers must should also try and push themselves down in the post or drive in a lot. The Orlando C and PF positions arn't necesarily the best. IMO Sammy and Kenny THomas > Kelvin Cato and Dwight Howard. We also have some god big man off the bench in Corliss Williamson and Marc Jackson. I want to see Marc Jackson get a lot of paying time in this game. I think we should start Sammy but have Jackson play a litle more. Also if AI has a big game it would be nice. By big game I mean shooting a high percentage, not a lot of points. If AI can shoot 45%+ and 20+ points I tthink we should definetly pull away with this game. Kenny Thomas has been GREAT for us so far and I hope he can keep this up. Prediction: I am going with the underdogs Sixers in a hard fought battle 101-98, I see a high scoring game for some reason because both of these teams have the talent to put alot of points up especially the Magic.
