[Eastern Conf. 1st Round] Orlando Magic vs. Philadelphia 76ers

hard to fathom. seems like brooks is so much better. but alston from the box scores i have checked looks to have been shooting better.

i truly think he will bring down the magic in the playoffs. he is just not that good of a player.

 

Chris Webber is acting like a lunatic on the TNT half time show. I haven't been watching TNT much this season -- is this what its been like?

They need to just stick with Ernie, Kenny, and Charles.

 

Rafer seems to be getting to the line more with the Magic. At least it seems that way whenever I check the boxscores.

I assume that has something to do with the fact that Howard doesn't post up a lot like Yao. He has limited post moves so I'm guessing the offense runs more through the perimeter players with Howard looking to get putbacks.

 

Watching Turkoglu miss Howard flashing in the paint off the PnR time and time again makes me really appreciate great wing passers like LeBron James and, yes, Tracy McGrady.

 

Webber has been decent from the few times I've heard him on TNT, but he's mainly there to shakeup the usual schtick of Ernie, Kenny, and Charles. Those 3 have been together so long that you kinda know what they are going to say.

 

Dwight Howard twice in a row just scared Andre Miller to death and made him lose the ball. DPOY is deserved.

 

That was the lamest MVP chant by the Orlando crowd when Dwight was at the line. It was almost like an embarrassed doing it out of guilt chant.

 

Wow, what a 4th Q collapse for the Magic.

 

this Magic crowd could not be less enthusiastic about a playoff game.

 

does anybody have a link. Also is there a good link for tnt and espn games. that would be quite nice. I'm about to check espn360 and adthe.

 

Howard could be called for 3 seconds every possession.

 

Man ... Iguodala. If the Rockets are looking to add a young, star wing player to their team in the offseason, he'd be wonderful for us. Very good passer, very good defender, good in transition, and a very good one on one scorer.

Eh, as I type this, he just missed two free throws ... still, he's a player I like a lot. But Philadelphia probably won't part with him.

 

I hate saying this, but I wish Yao could finish plays like Dwight did that last dunk from the dish off from Rafer.

Donyell with a big 3 tying it up.

 

wow!!! Good game!

 

Being able to finish like that is an important skill in itself for a big man. When he has the ball in his hands around the basket, Magic fans can be confident that he'll finish it. With Yao, there's a much higher risk of the ball not getting to the rim or it being slapped away.

 

I don't wanna watch OT I wanna see Wade

 

Yao just got 9/9 fg, didn't he?

 

What a shot by Iguodala.

 

AI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

iguodala is CLUTCH
