Spurs by 5 but hopefully by 20..key match up is duncan and howard but key player im going with elson.

LineOFire · 02-09-2007, 04:13 PM

Elson and Fab really have to come to play tonight. We need some hunger and tenacity on the glass because Dwight will be sucking them up all game. I look for the Spurs to destroy their will early and hopefully keep them out for the whole game.

LineOFire's Prediction:

San Antonio Spurs - 93
Orlando Magic - 85

that was one sick play. the whole time i was asking where dwight howard was, i KNEW they were gonna throw up an alley to him. that was sick

LineOFire · 02-09-2007, 07:36 PM

What a horrible way to lose. That was a monster dunk by Howard. Jameer Nelson just went insane. He's on my fantasy basketball team and he has been the biggest disappointment. Figures he had to have a career game against the Spurs. Pop should have probably put Elson on Howard on that last play and have Tim guarding the inbounds pass. At least Francisco can jump closer to Howard.

Yep, everyone knew saw that coming. There's just nothing you can do to guard that.

hi im new · 02-09-2007, 07:37 PM

howards hand was like 2 feet higher than tims. i dont know wat happend 3rd quarter, was it bad D? is that why we lost the lead, or was nelson just impossible to stop?

LineOFire · 02-09-2007, 07:39 PM

It wasn't bad D on Nelson. He would just run down the floor, stop, shoot and nail every single shot he took. J.J. Redick had a career night also.

The other thing the Magic did well is fouling Bruce Bowen. That was a godsend for them when Bruce just offered that game to the Magic. Tony didn't help either with his missed free throw. Those things come back to haunt you.

indeed.

That was a tough game to lose, never should have lost it really. Orlando's game winning shot was one of the greatest shots I have ever seen.

When you miss free throws in the clinch your not going to win. I don't like to say this but this team has problems right now.

TMTTRIO · 02-10-2007, 05:13 PM

What a terrible ending to the game. Those missed free throws really hurt us in the end. I don't know what is wrong with this team but they're missing something. I'm starting to think maybe we need a major trade and I think it's time to trade Manu while he still has high trade value.

iceman44 · 02-10-2007, 09:42 PM

I also think a major trade is needed. Something needs to be done to light a fire under this team, we'd probably get run out of town for trading Manu but I would be tempted to trade him we could get some talented players for him.
