    I know. I wish that Magic had more televised games. I'm sick of seeing the Heat on TV every damn night!:mad:

    Jermaine O'Neal
    Ron Artest
    Stephen Jackson

    are all suspended indefinitely. Jeff Foster, Jonathon Bender and Reggie Miller are all Injured.

    Fred Jones, Austin Croshere left the bench so should get suspended one game. Jamaal Tinsely went into the hallway to get a weapon to fight fans!

    Who the hell is going to play??

    I guess Franchise and Hill get an easy victory. I wish I was playing Detroit and Indiana back to back!

    It's a roadgame for Orlando, they might still drop this one.

    atleast eight guys need to suit up.

    They may serve suspensions at different times.

    Without their 3 best players, the Pacers are worse than the Bobcats.

    *ouch*

    apparently a guy named john edwards plays for the pacers. and some center with the last name harrison. orlando isn't even trying and they're up 22-18.

    So the Magic are letting the Pacers hang with them? I guess theyre not gonna take thme seriously until its too late. Why dont they just beat the team to the ground?

    honestly, i don't know how it's so close. dwight howard was getting every rebound in sight on D. orlando is outshooting indy and was getting offensive rebounds too. TO's favor indy. i guess 6 pt lead after 1 is still a 24 point win overall so it's not that bad.


    and tell turkoglu so stop killing my fantasy team and hit a shot already.

    Francis double dribbles on the fast break - 6 TO's.

    The ceiling of Yao might be Francis, an inconsistent all-star.

    I bet he starts for the East in Denver, CO next Feburary. He has the street cred necessary and Yao Ming coattail fans to thank. But he is a solid player though.

    It wasn't all coattails fans, he was voted all star starter the year before Yao got here.

    To be fair to Francis, Yao, and all players in the NBA for that matter, my father told me something about the NBA that I try to pay close attention to and I think it is fairly accurate. He said that all players will have a few games when they double their average and more when they only score half of their average during the season. And he gave the example of Wilt Chamberlain, the year he scored 100 points in a game is the year he average 50 points for the season. Now I’m not saying that all players will have nights when they exactly double their average for the season, but the spirit of what he said seems to ring true year after year for all players. Especially players known for their scoring.

    well, the magic did everything they could to give this game away but indy couldn't quite take it. that harrison guy either has some skills or just played out of his mind. he had one post up where cato didn't go for the pump fake and i thought for sure he'd swat the shot but harrison still got it up and in. howard and cato finally started sending his stuff back in the 4th but he still had a nice game.

    and since that edwards guy barely played, indy basically played 5 players the whole game.

    in the 3rd, francis seemed to be trying to play the sloppiest point guard of all time, but then jameer nelson subbed in and proceeded to top him in about 3 minutes. that was ugly for a while.

    luckily francis had that steal and 3 pt play and grant hill was a badass again or this could've been a terrible loss. the magic are just so bad on the road.
