Round 2: Magic at Pistons, Game 1, Saturday, 7:30 ET

Sigh, there's no way Magic are going to win trapping the pick like that and leaving Sheed open to roll out for an open 3.

[MochaUdoka]

wow Orlando can't get anything going right now, Piston's are building a large lead.

I missed the 1st half, what was Orlando doing right to make it so close going into halftime? just hitting their shots that they are missing now??

[flintstone]

Crowds picken up...could turn into a blow-out now!

No Magic haven't been hitting 3s all game.

driving for the better bucket. now they are jumpshooting way too much.

i have some faith in orlando. if lewis, turgkgolu, and howard can combine for at least 60 points, i am sure the supporting cast can come through with key points, with orlando winning in 6. otherwise, detroit in 5.

[Dwight20Twenty]

^^^^ and this the key to beating teams like Orlando and LA. Take away their three-point game, and they're completely different teams.

Stay out on all 4 of their shooters while simultaneously containing Dwight in the paint with single coverage, and keeping him off the offensive boards.. Sure, simple.

[Dwight20Twenty]

whew... 7 point game

Best 4th quarter scorers in the NBA:

1.) Labron James
2.) Kobe Bryant
3.) Hedo Turkgolu

hope dwight is okay.

[flintstone]

turgkgolu is the key for Orlando...I said that in another thread (not sure if it was this one though?)....Detroit knows that. The Orlando bench is the only other factor.

[baseketball4life]

come on that Dwight stuff needs to happen

[boozehound]

turgkgolu is the key for Orlando...I

not anymore

[vapid]

Dwight hardly had a statistical impact and Orlando's 3s aren't falling... is this a fluke or the impact of Detroit's Defense?

[MochaUdoka]

Just checked out the ESPN boxscore, Orlando is 1-11 from 3 (ouch). 'Shard is 0-4 and Turkoglu is 0-2.

I can't see the Magic coming back in this game, but if Magic start hitting their 3's I could easily see them still taking this series

[flintstone]

not anymore

Sure.....but I ment as an x-factor, in general. Detroit has always played Howard very well......He's not the guy that will kill us
