Magic Team Report

 

Yahoo! Sports - Dec 27, 4:40 am EST

 

 

The chances of Dwight Howard ending up in Chicago to form a dynamic duo with Derrick Rose are not good if shoe company Adidas has anything to do with it. According to Yahoo Sports, Adidas wants no part of its two biggest stars in the league playing on the same team. The company would rather they be rivals to help promote the product. "Derrick is the face of that market, owns that market, and Adidas can't possibly have maximum bang for its buck with Dwight there, too," said one high-ranking sneaker executive.

 

If the Magic lose Dwight Howard, either through trade or free agency, they won't be getting any sympathy from NBA commissioner David Stern, who seemed unconcerned about the trend of small-market stars leaving for the bright lights of bigger cities. "That's the beauty of the soap opera of basketball," Stern told reporters on Christmas Day. "I am of the view that when somebody has put in his years, and he's has earned his free agency, he's free to decide where he'll sign. As in life, it'll play out the way it plays out, and we'll all be observers of it."

We Winz!

[Avante]

Our schedule looks pretty easy actually, esp. compared to Western teams.

[Miller4Prez66]

Jameer probably won't play, so we are looking at a lot of Duhon with some Hughes sprinkled in. Not very good there.

 

The Bobcats in general are pretty offensively challenged but guys like Corey Maggette and Kemba Walker are capable of getting hot and putting you in trouble. Even without Jameer, I feel we should win, but it won't be an easy one. Hedo is going to have to step up as the playmaker without Jameer, and hopefully Ryan and JJ continue their hot play while Dwight dominates. That should be enough to win. But you never know.

There is no one who can stop Howard, so I guess Dwight will have a huge double-double again.

Without Jameer, we still gonna win this one.

102-87

[For the love of the game]

95-81 Magic win, with Howard and Anderson dominating inside and a good game from Turk. Magic could be tired, so the subs might have to step up.

 

If Dohun keeps playing decent with limited TO's, will have to start talking positive about him. Good game last night, sort of looked like a decent backup PG last night.

[KRISH10]

Have they already confirmed that Jameer wont play?

 

On a side note Turk and Duhon need to stop playing with our emotions :panicworker:

[Fultz4thewin]

Kemba abuses duhon. Magic still go up by 20 during the game. Final score something like magic by 13 98-85 ish

[barnettej]

Finally get to see my boys play in Charlotte.... However, I'm not so happy about Nelsons stinger.

 

I'm thinking this will be close with us pulling it out in the 2min.

Bobcats have the edge at G, we have a HUGE edge at C/F. Think that'll be the difference since Hedo's really our distributor.

[A Better DJ & Photographer]

If Duhon keeps playing at an acceptable level and making shots we might have to find someone else to pick on.

[Bauncey Chillups]

Corey Maggette will be our best player tonight
