Clippers game is my biggest worry as well
Orlando fought hard against Boston and showed that they have enough to win a couple of games despite not having DH. That Utah game on Sat is key, that's their most winnable game other than the Bobcats. 3 up with 4 games to play is tough so it's still a long shot for 6th.
The games that ORL have, is back-2-back:
@UTH- 21
@DEN - 22
CHA-25
@MEM-26
I do think that they are going to lose 3/4, but my concern is our team, we should beat the cavs (jinx...), but i cant see us beat the Hawks, its like for years i remember us struggle at the Philips Arena, even when it was The Omni we couldn't pull a series of W's out there.
One time its Dominique & Plastic man(Stacey Augmon) the other is Josh smith etc'...
its a tough place for us and its a key match.
F*ck it, i am ready for the Heat
Question is: Do we keep pushin pretending the Magic beat Utah on Saturday or do we rest Melo (our only remaining superstar for now), perhaps Chandler and tank to play the Bulls (who seem to be the much better matchup for us)?
I have the feeling that the ****ing Heat will sweep us. We don't match up well with them at all, Chicago with a semi-fit Rose seem to be the much better matchup for us. Games were always close with them and we even won there last season against the same team (minus Hamilton).
I'd rather play the Bulls than the Heat tbh. That loss last weak at home was tough to take. Melo had his superman cape on, we played pretty well and still had no chance against Miami.......
Last month I thought they're the better matchup, but now I have to admit that we have zero chance against them in a Playoff series.
The whole situation is ****ed up anyway, another first round exit is knocking on our front door....dammit. We could have easily had that 4th seed, EASILY. **** you Charlotte, Toronto and Sacramento for playing hard against us and beating us :teeth:
Look at the Melo hatin fagg*t.Yup. They could have pushed like their lives depended on it, with passion and some balls, some pride in their game.
But no.
They folded like soft jelly donuts that Carmelo eats between timeouts.
Wack sauce.
**** that tank shit. We still havent figured out how to play together as a team with Melo and Amare. Play the got damn starters and let them mesh in these last 3 games. We need to be playing our best ball heading into this tournament sons
Orlando is a weak team...They will be Dwight-less and Jameer Nelson is the new Derek Fisher, always been overrated and is one of the lesser PG's in the NBA. Orlando has a weak team with a good coach and now their top 5 NBA talent doesn't want to play...they can potentially lose 4 games in a row, even to the Cats.
Hardest game will Atlanta, if we can get that game...Clippers at home will be easier, home court advantage...our will defense will rein supreme.
Knicks will finish 36-30
Magic will finish 36-30
Who has the tie breaker?
