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!

On the flip side of all of this, Nelson/Dooling/Arroyo should be able to drive past Baron Davis fairly easily, and should be able to finish with Golden State's frontcourt.

If we can keep Davis at or below 22 points, we should be in good shape.

This will be a high scoring game. The winner has to score 110 points at least. Should be fun and frustrating at the same time. :lol:

If we can hold this team under 100 like we have with the last 3 teams we've played, it'll really show how we've improved defensively.

Also, a win here can finally get the national sports media to include us in some conversations.

I honestly don't see Arroyo or Nelson driving past Baron Davis fairly easily. Maybe Dooling but the other 2 would probably end up getting stripped. I think Baron Davis will score 30+ and Monta will have 20+ but as long as the big 3 can score at least 20+ points, we SHOULD win.

I don't know... Arroyo and Nelson have been having a lot of success driving to the basket lately, espescially on those quasi-fastbreak plays. Golden State isn't exactly a defensive powerhouse, either. I wouldn't be suprised if our point guards struggle on defense but have pretty good offensive games.

With JJ missing the Hawk game on Monday to support his brother through his surgery, it'll be interesting to see if Stan plays him.
This is a shooters' game so we need him.

The December game against the Warriors, this season, was the highest scoring game this season.

Boxscore
Jameer had 22, Bogans 22, Lewis 20, Hedo 17, and Dwight 18/23 7 blks 9 TO. Ellis 22, Jackson 25, and Davis 19.

It was the highest-scoring game this season, but not in team history.

What gets me about that first Warriors game is the fact that they took 40 threes... and made 9 of them. 40 possessions, 27 points... not good.

Meanwhile, we were 11-of-25 from downtown. 25 possessions, 33 points. I'll take it.

umm...this is off topic, but I'm sitting here watching a horrible one-sided game between the Celtics and Bulls on ESPN and I can't stop but think about how many more National games we'll get next season. We better, cuz I don't want to see games this aweful on TV.

The Warriors just scored 134 points blowing out Miami. We better play D or we will not be able to keep up with them.

Tomorrow night's going to be a huge offensive battle. D or not, the Warriors are going to score a ton of points. So will the Magic, though.

A ton of points? Yep..They put up 134 on Miami tonight. It might be a long night tomorrow boys. :rolleyes:

Also- Nellie put Biedrins in the starting C spot so he might use him to match up defensively against Dwight... or use Harrington to cause problems. Who knows..
