This is going to be a very interesting, game. We're coming of three very strong games and our last 2 games have been the leaders of the East & Western conferences. We have really shown that we can compete with the big teams with our new trade and I have no idea if we've gotten lucky but the only thing I know is that we're going trough one of our hottest streaks for a while and Orlando is excited about their chances again and obviously the trade has something to do with it because Gooden and Giricek scored a combined 40 pts.

I have a friend of mine going to the game he is a newcommer to the boards, Magic81799. I hope he will be giving us a good report about the game we are looking forward to your reaction on this game, appreciate it dude.


Anyways, I'll post more about the game as the day comes closer. Just wanted to get the thread started though, come on guys post we're doing good and you guys should post more and support your Orlando Magic!


Go Magic!

Hey it's Magic81799. I got tickets to the game and it's gonna be my first Magic game. I live in NY. The Magic better win because i don't want to look stupid with all my Magic gear on. Ewing jersey is gonna ge retired which should be fun. I post more later peace write more on this site guys peace

Yea, this is gonna be a good game. Ive been glad lately, cuz Ive been able to watch the Magic games. Living in NJ is tough but lately with the Nets and Knicks as opponents, I was able to watch some games, especially just after their two newest acquisitions.

I won't be able to watch this game but I predict a win because the Knicks won't have any offensive presence to stop McGrady unless Houston has one of his good night's which only comes once in a while so we shouldn't count on it or be prepared for one of Allan's explosion's. We will need Gooden and Giricek to keep up the work and put up alot of points to help T-Mac get the job done, but we need this win desperately to keep the emotion and winning spirit in Orlando.

This game is extremelly important, going into March we have an extremelly scheadule and if we don't take advantage of that and try to push for a better playoff seed we will have only ourselves to kick for not getting home court advantage for some series during the playoffs. I think we should go close to un-defeated at the rate we're going, anything worst is a dissapointment for the month of March.

We played a great game, this was a very good performance by our team and if it wasn’t for our silly mistakes in that first overtime we would have left Ewing night with a nice fat “W” on our record. We shouldn’t have forced shots like Giricek and Garrity did because there was more clock time left and after Pat had scored those two 3 pointers he got excited and didn’t want to give it back to T-Mac and missed a few consecutive 3 point shots. It was kind of ridiculous to lose because we played so great and Gooden was just a huge force offensive and defensively but the one player who really got on my nerves sometimes was Giricek. I recognize that he is a very good shooter but the man trys to do way too much at times and he tried to dribble and shoot instead of looking for McGrady. You cannot do that during the 4th quarter or overtime, this rookie has to learn that T-Mac is the superstar of the team and even though Pat Garrity was lighting it up at the time McGrady is still the man.

Drew Gooden, I just can’t stop praising this kid. He had 20 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks. One of those blocks was the one that saved the Magic and took this game into overtime. He has really made a huge difference in our ball club. I’m proud of this team, we played our hearts off in this game and even though we lost it’s because the Knicks were really determined and we both were playing incredible basketball.

I hope this doesn’t effect our motivation and winning spirit because we have a whole bunch of easy games in this easy March scheadule awaiting us, it’s time for the playoff push!
