EVERYONE SIGN UP FOR THE MARCH MADNESS POOL!!!!!

 

We have 10 guys so far. I know more people know their college bball! Get it together Magic fans!

[ThisIsTheYear 241]

Oh boy, Grant's back. The reason this team hasn't been consistent is because we've never had a consistent starting lineup. We should just keep it as it was in the last few games. Why change something that's working? If Grant plays like Grant, then Hedo may not have such a good game, and he's been on a tear!

[Berto 338]

It's only a matter of time before Hedo has a 1 for 12 game with 2 points. Could very well be this game. Hedo "the sloth" Turkaglu..

you know, i really dont mind having grant on the bench. the current chemistry seems to be doing well and i wouldnt want to tinker with it.. although i'd still rather start ariza over turk.

 

btw, indy, ny and jersey all lost today. who knows, the basketball gods may be smiling at us again and give us a break...

I saw that. Also, Capono went down for Miami. That might make a difference.

 

As for Grant, I'm not sure if he will be starting or not, but I figure he will if healthy.

i agree leave grant on the bench. Turk has been playing very well. the magic seem to have found some rhythm with the lineup they have. i hope coach hill will notice this. Dooling has not really shown me anything and should not get the minutes.JJ should rotate in more and i wonder if he would step it more playing against other duke players

BOLD PREDICTIONS

 

Grant starts.

 

Dooling is the 1st off the bench for whatever reason.

 

Bogans plays 5 minutes and hates everyone for it.

 

JJ stews on the bench all game.

 

Turk and Grant run into each other trying to take the same spot on the court and suffer dual concussions.

 

Magic lose because coach ruins our chemistry for the ump-teenth time.
