Lewis on Wallace...thats gonna be an offensive explosion on both ends of the court. I dont know if Lewis can handle wallace down low, but wallace wont be able to handle Lewis around the arc....so gotta keep an eye on this matchup

Ben Wallace doesn't have an offensive game so I'm not worried about him. Lewis should have the advantage in this matchup with his outside shooting. It helps Dwight have a better one-on-one matchup with Varejao.

The match up problem I see with Wallace is not his offense but his rebounding. Lewis is the likely candidate to double Bron which will make D12 work all the harder on the glass.

I just hope D12 can cut down the turnovers and make a higher percentage of his free throws because we will need them to win.

The so-called experts say that Cleveland has a better chance of getting deep into the playoffs than Orlando. A win here will make them think otherwise.

Agreed, I see Big Ben going off for 4 points. :yes:

Obviously since we're already in, everything from now on isn't really a must-win, but we really would benefit from winning this one.

Hopefully our guys take this seriously and we bring the hammer on them.
Hopefully Varejao plays Rashard instead of Dwight because, otherwise, Dwight will end up frustrated by all the flopping and he'll be in foul trouble quick.

This doesn't really have anything to do with this particular game, but has anybody noticed how long it takes for Dwight to get the ball to either Jameer or Carlos after getting the rebound? More often than not, the point guards stand near Howard clapping for the ball, while he just looks around. It's good that he's being careful with the ball, but it really slows our pace down. Jameer and Carlos have been great at pushing the ball up the court, and I'd love to see them do it more, but Howard seems to be working against it.

Probably because Dwight's thinking wow I have to pass to these guys.

Wallace may not be on Lewis for long. They can bring in Joe Smith which will be a better matchup for them against Lewis. They can change up on the matchup and put Ben Wallace on Dwight.

Varejao worries me since his a known flopper. With the way the refs are calling fouls on and against Dwight this the Varejao matchup will be trouble.

EDIT: Z returned to the lineup against the Bobcats tonight. So they have even more to throw at us tomorrow.

Go just beyond the parking lot on the Lake Side of the Amway Arena. There are people selling tickets all the time. Or go to the area around the ticket booth (near the game marquee board) on the side of the arena and there are people trying to sell tickets there too.

And you should be in for a treat at the Wizards game. Butler is back and Arenas is supposed to be returning that game against us.

Toronto lost again and is dropping rapidly in the standings. They are just 1 game ahead of the Wizards, 2 ahead of the Sixers. Man, I wish the Wizards and the Sixers can surge ahead of the Raptors.

We matchup better against the Sixers than the Raptors or Wizards.
