TrueMagicFan07 675 Report post Posted November 24, 2010 MAGIC TEAM REPORT Yahoo Sports - 11 Hours, 38 Mins. Ago This next one will count for more than just one win -- or one loss -- for the Orlando Magic. Although they still remain atop the Southeast Division, the Magic (9-4) will be putting considerably more emphasis than usual on Wednesday's matchup with the Miami Heat (8-6). The Magic, who have championship aspirations, were embarrassed by the Heat early this season in Miami, falling 96-70, which put a damper on many of their wins that followed. The Magic are hoping for some serious revenge Wednesday, which could legitimize their quest to be viewed as equal to or better than Miami. Another loss to the Heat, and it won't matter what they do against everyone else because no one will believe they can win in the playoffs. "They (Heat) are the best defensive team we've faced," said coach Stan Van Gundy Monday night after losing in San Antonio. "It will be another good test for us. We need to play well to play with them." The Magic weren't bad defensively against the Heat, but they were smothered by the Heat's defense, which allowed them to shoot just 30 percent from the field in the first meeting. The Magic should play Miami considerably better because both Rashard Lewis and J.J. Redick look like they've broken out of their early-season slumps. And Dwight Howard has rarely been better offensively than he is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shock Phantom 263 Report post Posted November 24, 2010 We really HAVE to win this game. I will be genuinely concerned if we lose. Hopefully JJ can contain Wade and not let him go off for 40. Shard needs to play at SF with the bench and run the offense through him (unless Dwight is in the game). All in all, I think we win convincingly. Go Magic! :bigparty: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
