Offical Magic Vs Bobcats Playoff Thread

[KingTaharqa]

My boys showed some toughness to bring it back to a ballgame after being down 22 in the 1st half. We looked shell shocked in the beginning, hopefully we play like we did in the 2nd half the rest of this series. LB wouldnt put Jax back in in the 4th quarter. I hope he aint injured too bad.

last year the Cavs had only one decant center that was Big Z, so he was not able to foul out or get into any foul problems. This year they have four guys to play center, that 26 fouls vs 6. Do the math! Plus last year they was able to collapse on James, with no other scores other than Williams, this year they have a ton of scores especially player who can attack the hole, this will put even more pressure on Howard.

DUDE last year u had a backup center though...after z fouled out u had wallace and anderson and some other dude.....u still had 4 players at PF and C spots on your playoff roster just cause they werent DECENT Doesnt mean they couldnt FOUL howard.... So u still had 24 fouls my MAN!! Let me do the MATH 6 times 4 = 24 not 26



and other than Jamison u really didnt add a major scorer please dont say anthony parker!!!

oh yeah boston always plays howard straight up with perkins and they got beat last year too and we 3-1 against them this year

I agree to a certain extent, but if I was a GM, I would not want any of the Magic players other than Lewis and Howard, the rest of them are overated befitting from playing along side of Howard. The Cavs do have a bunch of young players that are developing, Verejo, Williams, Hickson, and Gibson and if you take away Shaq contract, Jamison, and they should be fee to retool a bit.

Shaq contract is 20 mil still puts leaves them 10 mil over the cap. Free to resign players they have bird rights on but not to chase after free agents.

Jamison has two more years.

Anderson is good but he is the perfect bench player. Someone who brings energy off the bench. draws offensive fouls, frustrates opponents and etc. A bruce Bowen type player. These players don't develop they are role players and play their roles they don't ever become more than that.

Hickson has the advantage of playing with James. He is no Andre Blatche someone when once the chance comes will show he can be a great piece to a team. Plus he won't be allow to develop in Cleveland.
Mo Williams is wayyyyyyy past developing. He has ups to his game and he does downs but their is a reason he was a second round pick. Good player though.
Gibson Cleveland has regretted giving him that contract and tried to move him for the longest but no one wants that contract and has shown he is not able to handle the reigns of lead PG.

Orlando on the other hand. They have VC. If things don't work out he can be traded to anyone looking to free up cap space next year.

Brandon Bass is a good young player and will draw many suitors. Gortat same as Bass.

Ryan Anderson. A young PF that can give you offensive rebounds and hit the three and mid range shot.

Air France we know his value.

Nelson if they ever do decide to move will draw some attention as many teams do need a PG.

Young and talented that is more the advantage of Orlando than Cleveland.

As I said before Cleveland constructs their teams like this. As quick fixes. It works but they have to win now.

Orlando team was built in the draft signings through cap space and trading young players gifted players (Lee) expiring contracts (Alston Battie).

Last major signing cleveland had was Larry H.

Give you guys time. Like Orlando their first playoff series they were swept by the Pistons. You guys have a lot of heart. I like to see what you guys do in the off season though.DJ or Felton

His back up is not even in the NBA, he was in no position to play extended mins.
Jamison can score, Hickson can score, Moon is good, Parker can score. Last year you guys left some of the other Cavs open while collapsing on James, do it this year and you will get burned every single time. This year the Cavs also have an effective pick and roll, another thing that they lacked last year. They will pick and roll you to death, just like what Hickson and Varijo did to you in the game they beat the Magic and if you dont bite then Howard become exposed to potential fouls.

I cant wait to see Nelson pick and roll on shaq and big Z

Hickson,moon and Parker all benefit from teams attention on LEBRON JAMES just like howard does for us......lebron james does for ya'll

only jamison creates his own shots

 

[RoadRage]

I cant wait to see Nelson pick and roll on shaq and big Z

Remember they tried that all season and it didn't work.

 

[daman200]

Remember they tried that all season and it didn't work.

Season series is 2-2......hmmmm we will see bro if ya'll get past BOSTON!!

 

[Andeyhollawho]

The Hawks ain't the fucking Bobcats. See you next round!

 

[daman200]

The Hawks ain't the fucking Bobcats. See you next round!

YEAH we are 6-1 against Hawks with a Average margin of victory of 22 points YEAH see ya next round. Magic cant wait to play the Hawks we beat them everytime

2 and 2 but the two loses was after they rested the whole starting unit other than Jamison, and he didnt play the fourth, and the other was right after the trade when they was not adjusted and they did not have Big Z, basically Shaq got into foul problems and it was a wrap with no one to come in and take his place, remember that was before Varigo and Hickson started playing center.

BEAT BOSTON first!!

 

[RoadRage]

BEAT BOSTON first!!

They showed Boston what they can do that last game.
The Cavs was basically playing not to get hurt, knowing they clintched everything, and was down 20 plus point in the fourth then the Celtics gave that flagrant of James, and the Cavs said fuck that shit, and blazed their ass taking the lead, before losing due to Biz Z fouling out, but that was with a 20 point and no Varijo or Shaq. Next time they play, it will be pure blaze from the start of the game to the finish.
What people fail to understand, is that the Cavs played only five games hard with a halfway full squad, the rest was either blow aways, games they didn't bring their A, games they worked on their line up (real games practice) and games they were either injured or adjusting to the trade. I think you are going to see more of the Cavs that beat the Lakers and the Magic rather than the Cavs that lost to the Bobcats the Nuggets and the Magic.

This is the playoffs.

That means back to back to back.

WE WILL SEE

Charlotte 30 points first half NO ONE talks about ORLANDO DEFENSE dont sleep!!

CONGRATS TO D HOWARD ON THAT D PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD ALSO WHAT U THINK GERALD WALLACE!!

the Magic kept opposing shooters to an NBA-low 43.8 percent shooting.

 

[cranrab]

IMO, that wasn't their strongest showing on D. for the magic, their strong suit was turning over their opponents.

the miami heat is a team that i would point to as better (than the magic) for getting after shooters and contesting shots.

Coz we only watch championship teams

 

[KingTaharqa]

We made this one respectable after a pitiful 1st half, but another dissapointing outing for my boys. We've been a horrible road team all year long so this aint out of the ordinary, but I wanted to see more than what I saw today. Hopefully we get a better showing at home on Saturday.

d.j. augustin and raymond felton need to assert more control over the O when they are on the floor.

stephen jackson has no business dominating the ball. even when his shot is respectably falling, he's crippling the bobcats with TOs.

stephen jackson takes away from touches gerald wallace should be getting.

and boris diaw?

Re: Offical Magic

I haven't watched the bulls since June '98

u have got me fucked up.

It's all about Kobe and the Lakeshow.

I mean I speak to Craig hodges when he comes back around here from time to time.

Other than that I refuse to watch these weak as games and teams with no rings.

Utah and phx

The bulls have won one playoff series since 1998.

Bulls are doormats to detriot and Cleveland.

Jordan is not coming back.

What u mean?

 

[Upgrade Dave]

I picked the Magic to win in 7, no less than 6 but the 'Cats have to get it started quicker.It's like they have the tools but can't find them until they're down by double digits.
I fully expect them to win and win big Saturday.

 

[daman200]

They Cant guard Jameer Nelson

Did u see jordan get at gerald wallace

good game so far!!

 

[RoadRage]

LETS GO MAGIC !!! LETS GO MAGIC!!

 

[RoadRage]

This year Magic backcourt much better than last year Looks like the Magic and Celtics are taking care of business this year playoffs!!

As long as Howard keeps becoming a "Mark" for fouls, teams that can drive to the rim will have the proper blue print on how to beat them.
