CERBERUS

Cerberus (pronounced /ˈsɜrbərəs/), in Greek and Roman mythology, is a tri-headed hound of death which guards the gates of Hades, to prevent those who have crossed the river Styx from ever escaping. This rabid beast brings a whole new dimension to DOGGY STYLE! WOOF!

Probing The Enemy

故曰:知彼知己,百戰不殆;不知彼而知己,一勝一負;不知彼,不知己,每戰必殆。


404356_main.jpg


As we all know, Orlando are a tough match up. Particularly with Howard ripping up the paint.

Previous Encounter




● In our previous encounter with Orlando, SVG monotonously pounded the ball in to Howard. We played him particularly well on triple teams, but that was when we had Chandler. Unless we can get some meaningful minutes from Ronny T, look for D12 to have another enormous night on the glass, and for STAT to hit the bench early with foul trouble.

● With Melo on the block, we can entice Howard from the paint and hopefully look to draw some fouls early in the first as the defence collapses.


Crunching The Numbers


Rebounding will again be our bane in this one. The Magic clean the glass at an epic rate of 33.7 RPG through positions 3-5 alone, while allowing a mere 27 RPG from the opposition's 3, 4 and 5.

● A notable point is their inability to recover from an inside outside/hand off game, as the Magic average the league's lowest defensive stop % in assists from centres AND power forwards. Random!

● Fantastically enough, the statistically worst position Orlando defends is SF, with a skyrocketing effective FG% of .547 and an average of 20 PPG.



Key Factor: Shutting Down Role Players

The Magic have 10 players averaging double figure point totals!

This game will truly require a team defensive effort. The main assignment is Howard, but an instrumental part of his offence is his 2 man game with both Turkoglu and Nelson.

Will our lack of depth prove incapable of handling such a broad offensive onslaught?

jk, Nice thread:lol:. Hopefully we work hard on the rebounds and defense. If we get Jeffries, can we still sign Barron?

LOL! Good job with the Stig references dude. Some of those cracked me up, especially the Beard of Zeus reference. Classic Stuff!

After an embarassing loss to the lowly Cavs, our Starting 5 are ready for some redemption!

I want to see ...

Billups/Douglas
Brewer/Azu
Melo/Fields
Amar'e/Jeffries
Williams/Turiaf

Suddenly our depth doesn't look so bad with that!
 
Great thread man!

The right soundtrack after that horrible loss in Cleveland. Got me in a chilling mood.

We have no body we could put on Howard.

I hope we somehow win. With D'Antoni you never know.

Definitely hyped. Especially now after we beat the heat, I really want to see how consistent the team can be. If we play like we did tonight every game. Definitely championship contenders.

I am pretty excited about this! Its a knicks game on free tv in Australia! So looking forward to seeing the new knicks play for the first time.

After the win against the Heat this is gonna be interesting, especially if we have Jeffries. We're gonna need the same rebounding effort against Howard.

Nice to see some Aussies popping on here and repping the Knicks.

Got the Magic game set to record already. :)

I haven't been this interested in basketball since the Lakers-Kings rivalry about 10 years ago. I was looking forward to the Knicks-Heat since the Melo trade and the game actually exceeded my expectations. From here on out, I'm expecting every game to be entertaining. The critics are silenced with the win against Miami, the team is actually playing some kind of defense, and we have two of the best scorers in the league. The sky is the limit for this team and a championship definitely isn't out of the question.

Orlando had another night out with versatile/multiple scoring options:

Howard 20
Bass 17
Nelson 13
Arenas 16
Richardson 11
Turkoglu 9

Those players combined shot 30-57 from the floor.

Bill Walker will need to maintain his surprising form, Fields will need to add some offence, Williams will be integral, we'll have to incorporate more offence from STAT as well.

And, of course, maintain that defensive mentality.

A hard game against a versatile/deep opponent.

Go Knickerbockers!
 
op is crazy or some shid man

What do you guys think the best defensive plan is? Figure that Howard is probably going to get his but shut everyone else down?

Howard has been beast-mode lately. Best bet is to double him up, but avoid fouling him.

The rest of the team needs to be shut down, especially 3 point shooters like turk.
