Magic head out West for key test

This is gonna be brutal...but then again if you look at Steve's game, he tends to step it up against the tougher opponents and slack off against the easier people. So you never know.

 

The Magic have 4 former western conference players on the team in Francis, Mobley, Cato, and Turkoglu. I don't see why the writer in this article is so pessimistic. I think they will win atleast 4 out of 6.

 

I like their chances because defensively Cato and Howard can cover the bigs as well as anyone in the league and their is no team in the west that can cover Hill, Cat, and Steve except for the Spurs.

I can't wait for the suns game because I'm thinking a 130-120 point game.

 

So you're saying they'll go 4-2, 5-1, or 6-0 on the road against the Nuggest, Jazz, Warriors, Lakers, Suns, and Spurs?

I think 2-4 wouldn't be bad, 1-5 would be understandable, and 3-3 should be considered successful.

I hope that Magic-Suns game will be 140 to 138 or something. That game needs to be on national tv.

 

The fact that the magic are a bad road team might factor in to the mix too, don't you think? Their last game against NY was impressive, but against the west will be another story.

 

I think they could go 4-2.

Denver - W (Anthony plays like crap after all of the bad press he's been getting)
Jazz - W
Warriors - L (should win, but they will lose to the lesser team)
Lakers - W
Suns - W
Spurs - L (Spurs blow them out of the building after tough win against the Suns)

 

I think 3-3

Rocket River

 

man my last final is saturday and i was thinking about driving home sunday afternoon, but i may have to hang around to catch the magic-lakers and magic-suns games on league pass b/c of the ex-rocket connections in the first and just for the excitement in the second. if the magic pay their usual attention to detail, 120 for both teams shouldn't be too hard.


and if they can come out of this 2-4 they'll be doing well.

 

3-3 should be possible.... Jazz and Warriors should be a win.... Lakers/Nuggets... probably steal 1 there.... Spurs and Suns will be hard to beat.....

 

just be done with it and rename the Dish the Magic forum

 

i can't think of our whole roster right now, but have the 3 guys on the magic actually played longer for the rockets than the entire current rockets roster has played for the rockets?


cat 6 years, cato and steve 5 years i think for 16 years.


yao 2 years, mo 5 i think, boki 2 (if you can even count boki's years), jj 1 and maybe a few others like padgett with 1? maybe i'm forgetting someone but i'm pretty sure no one has been here longer than mo and yao. so it seems like our team would fall short of the 3 in orlando. kind of amazing to think about how much the roster has turned over and how long those guys were here (which is why they get posted about so much).

 

I like to refer to them as "Rockets East". I got that from another poster here.

 

I see them going 3 and 3 with losses to Denver, Phoenix and San Antonio.

This road trip will go a long way in really gauging their season so far. They are among the teams that has played the fewest games so far and that has really helped their legs and record.

 

cat's back.

 

They only played two fewer games than Rockets (one fewer after tonight).

 

As at last Saturday we had played 2 more games than them. Are trying that the two game difference does not matter? Do you know that some point we were about 3 or 4 games ahead of them in the played column?

Anyway that is that - the schedule will balance itself out. Every team experiences schedule issues.

 

Man, Steve and company get their ass handed to Nugget.

 

The Orlando game is so bad, I had to change it to the Cowboys game.....
