    Byron Scott needs his head examined if he thinks Tyson Chandler could guard Dwight Howard one-on-one. The 2 early fouls were very predictable. Wouldn't be surprised if Howard gets a 20/20. Surely they will now double off the pass and give Hilton Armstrong help.

    rashard should use that turn-around more often, unblock-able.

    Nelson's FG and 3PT %s are ridiculous so far this season: 53.2 and 43.2.

    A lot of people were laughing at the Jazz when they only scored 7 pts in the first quarter against the Nets last week. How did that work out?

    Wait a minute, look at Howard's battle with Posey. If it was Yao he would already have 4 fouls...

    Lol, New Orleans looks WEAK, soft and old. They are playing horrible. NO DEFENSE. It is gonna be their back to back blowout loses.

    Orlando is amazing. Just amazing.

    They are a good team, at best - not "amazing, just amazing".

    The Hornets just suck today. It's only one game.

    Orlando is looking amazing, but the thing is they look as bad as NO looks right now some games too. Orlando's inconsistency was their problem last year, hopefully they fix that this year.

    Wait a minute, they have beaten the Lakers. They have won 9 out of 10 games against West (including SA as well).

    They deserve some credit

    The credit I gave them is as a good team. I think you are overrating them based on one game.

    The Lakers have had a stretch of bad games. They lost to Miami and almost lost to the Grizzlies, too.

    The Spurs have lost a bunch of games this season.

    At the end of the day, the Magic are a jump shooting team, even considering Howard. He isn't a low post scorer. Most of his points come from put backs. The Magic still live and die with the outside shot. That won't work against the true elite teams like the Celtics. The Celtics are amazing, just amazing.

    The Hornets are not that good, they beat the crap teams but their roster is not good enough to play the better teams.

    The Rockets would kill them in a series.

    Don't even go there. Howard gets called for just as many idiotic fouls as Yao and he gets hacked even more (and a LOT harder).
