NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

WHEN: 8:30 p.m.

WHERE: United Center, Chicago.

RECORDS: Magic 7-6; Bulls 6-5.

TV: Sun Sports. RADIO: WDBO AM 580; Spanish language: WONQ AM 1030.

MAGIC UPDATE: The Magic will be finishing their fifth back-to-back of the season. . . . They go back on the road for another back-to-back this weekend, facing the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday and the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. . . . The Magic were swept by the Bulls last season, losing all three games, including one at the United Center by 40 points (117-77) -- tying the third-worst defeat in Orlando history. They have lost four of the past six in Chicago. . . . Magic assistant coach Mark Bryant spent part of his career with the Bulls.

BULLS UPDATE: The Bulls are coached by former Magic guard Scott Skiles, who was a member of Orlando's original expansion team in 1989. . . . The Bulls finished 47-35 last season, good for second place behind Detroit in the Central Division. They lost to the Washington Wizards in six games in the first round of the playoffs. . . . Chicago chose to trade C Eddy Curry to the New York Knicks after Curry refused to undergo tests that might have further diagnosed his heart problem.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Dwight Howard vs. Tyson Chander should be interesting when they get matched up.


tonight against the bullz we NEED to start giving the ball to howard early and establish him in the game. and we need to continue giving him the ball throughout the game. they have a weak front court so it shouldnt be too hard for him. were playing GREAT defense-first in the league at 88ppg allowed- so we should be able to stop the bullz tonight.

D-Flight was double-teamed every time he touched the ball last night (leading to open lanes for guys like Hedo and Stevie). :yes: Considering that, 10/10 was a good night for him last night. :) :D
Hedo was clutch with his free throws last night after a horrible shooting night.
The Bulls were 3-0 against us last season, TIME TO BREAK ANOTHER STREAK!!! :yes: :) :D

I am worried about how tired the team will be with this being the 4th game in 5 nights, but seriously I think they will pull this off.

I played soccer in my hometown team for some years, and in the times that we were winning games (we had a heck of a team), we wanted to play everyday. That's how we can measure how good the team morale is. If the guys start playing tonight with the same intensity (in defense specially) as in the last 4 games, it's because they really are boosted up. And in that case, they won't even remember that they are tired ;)

its not like they dont want to give him the ball or he doesnt want to take shots. :no: its just that teams double team him or put thier best defender on him so it makes it real hard for him to get the ball and score. but thats also good because it leaves open lanes or easy shots for other guys on the team. :yes:

It is hard not to be on Jameers bandwagon, the guy is insanely clutch and has won games for us this season.

Jameer's great...coming off the bench. There are/were a lot of fans saying that he should start, but he's been proving just how valuable off the bench he is for us.
