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!

I feel like we're playing a back-to-back-to-back. They can't be any more tired than what they will be when they get back from China. First of all, you get the jet lag, and then you pretty much play three games in three days. Then you have to fly all the way back. I am not really expecting a W here, I think they should play the bench the whole game.

They should sit Howard, Nelson, and Turkoglu and play Rashard, Dooling, and Ariza if they are available.

I think Rashard is out this whole trip. I want to see our bench guys against NBA talent and see if the outcome is the same.

Wow! What the heck is NBA doing? They 3 games in 3 nights? I though our guys will get at least 1 day off. Is David Stern trying to kill us?

Anyway, last night just a "light" game ....Nelson and Howard hardly played in that game. I think they should also just play sparingly tonight. I am guessing SVG will not use either of them much tonight- save their legs for opening night.

Lewis is definitely out for tomorrow, according to Stan the Man. The earliest we can see him is next Thursday against San Antonio.

Not a fan of all these games together, but at least the jet lag will where off by Thursday (we'll be home by Sunday).
'Shard needs to play in our final preseason game at home Thursday before opening night.

No in the press conference for this mornings game, Stan said Rashard has an "outside chance" of playing in the Cavs game. Dooling and Ariza are out until further notice.

After that news conference, he said Lewis was "probably out."

I guess that means it's about 50/50?

SVG said there is still a chance he will play. Ariza and Dooling are certain not play. I think they should play Lewis even for 10 or so minutes.

Rashard really needs the work, only one more preseason game at home against the Spurs is left.

It's actually 3 games in 4 days. For us, it's been 3 games in 3 days, but I don't think you're taking the time difference into consideration. In China, they had a game at 8 pm on Wednesday, 8 pm on Thursday, and now they are going to play at 12:30 pm on Saturday. So they get Friday off.

It's still a lot of games for just the preseason, but our team needs this. We need to get used to SVG's style of play.

And when asked if Macao would have a chance to see injured players Rashard Lewis (ankle), Trevor Ariza (foot) or Keyon Dooling (strained abdomen) on the court Saturday against the Cavs, Van Gundy said: "There's an outside chance on Rashard. He's doing a little bit more moving around. We'll see how he feels tomorrow.

"Trevor won't do anything. Same with Keyon Dooling. I would say Rashard is probably out, with a slight possibility he might play on Saturday."
Yeah, so most likely Rashard is out.

Yeah, I know but it's still an early Saturday game so they didn't get as much rest as they usually get when they have a day between games.

Yeah, that's true, but these games are helping this team learn the new style of play under SVG.
