We'll need some big games from Gortat and Battie if Howard is suspended. Last night's game is bitter sweet. We win, but it's going to be tough to win a close out game in Philly without Howard and Lee.

JJ, Peaches, TB4 and Gortat. They all don't have to step up but we need at least two of those guys to put real good games together tomorrow. We can't feel bad for ourselves, I hate the suspension in a playoff series but per the freaking rules, it warrants a suspension. We can beat this team without Howard, I know we can. We are a better team then Philly, even minus Howard.

The guys you listed will step up and play for D12 and Lee, the 2 guys that kept this series alive. I predicted a win. There is no reason they cant beat Philly without Howard and Lee.

Defense is what has gotten us the last two wins so I don't like our chances of winning this one. We need to play a near perfect game to win this one. Hopefully Lewis and Hedo hold the fort while Dwight is suspended and we end this tomorrow.

The 76ers will play at our level, that's just the type of team that they are. The game will be close until the fourth, and then we need to make a run or get extremely lucky.

The 76ers are favored by 5.5 points. Over/Under is at 185.5

The line actually started with Philly only being favored by 1, but has continued to rise throughout today.

J.J. Redick, Marcin Gortat to make first playoff starts in Game 6 tonight:
Quote:
 

J.J. Redick will make the biggest start of his Magic career tonight --- his first playoff start in Game 6 against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wachovia Center.

Redick replaces injured Courtney Lee, who was scheduled to have surgery Thursday.

Marcin Gortat also will make his first career playoff start, replacing center Dwight Howard, who is serving a one-game suspension.

"I want to go have fun -- that's what Otis (General Manager Otis Smith) said to me. Otis knows I put a lot of pressure on myself. I have high expectiations for myself," Redick said. "So he just gave me a friendly reminder this morning to have fun.

"I just have to be in the right spots defensively and make the shots when they are there."

Redick, one of the best shooters in the history of college basketball, has been unable to find his jump-shot much of the season. He has played only 42 minutes in five playoff games against the Sixers, going just 2-of-9.

He shot just 39 percent this season in 64 games. 

"It's very exciting. I'm actually kind of glad it's happening on the road, too," Redick said. "It's going to be a great atmosphere. It's going to be very difficult to get a win here."

The Magic won three games this season with Gortat starting for Howard.






Good stuff, Stan. I still expect Mike to get more minutes. :D
