jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 Game Preview; By ANTHONY GIORNALISTA, STATS Senior Writer A matchup with the Charlotte Bobcats is potentially helpful for a team on the fringe of the playoff race. The Orlando Magic, however, have rarely been able to take advantage of games at Charlotte. The Magic, with a chance to gain ground in the Eastern Conference, look to end their road woes against the Bobcats when the teams conclude their season series Monday night. Orlando (29-35) missed an opportunity to pass New York for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East on Sunday night, losing 103-92 at Houston. The Magic fell one-half game behind the Knicks, who are idle Monday. Orlando has won two of three games against last-place Charlotte (22-41) this season, but both of the wins came in Florida. The Magic have lost two straight games at Charlotte Bobcats Arena and four of five visits there all-time. click here Grant Hill scored 17 points and Dwight Howard had 16 points and 12 rebounds Sunday for Orlando, which has lost five of six games and nine of 11 overall. Hedo Turkoglu left the game after re-injuring his broken nose - originally suffered in Thursday's loss to Chicago - in the first quarter, but later returned and finished with 10 points in 33 minutes. Hill is averaging 20.0 points in five career games against the Bobcats, but has missed six of Orlando's last seven matchups against them because of various injuries. Charlotte has allowed 112.6 points per game during an eight-game losing streak, its longest since dropping 13 in a row from Jan. 11-Feb. 1, 2006. On Saturday night, the Bobcats lost to the NBA's worst team, falling 115-107 to Memphis. Even the return of forward Sean May couldn't help Charlotte end its slide. May, who had missed the last 20 games with a knee injury, had 13 points and grabbed three rebounds in 22 minutes. He hadn't played since Jan. 26 against the Los Angeles Lakers. "I still got some time before ... I get my rhythm back and my timing back," May said. "I played 22 minutes out there and it was a little sore at times. But toward the end, once the game got close I sort of forgot about it. I still have some adjusting to do. "I don't think there are too many games where I have played 22 minutes and only had three rebounds. I just wish the outcome was different." May, who is averaging 11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, scored a season-high 32 points in a 99-89 win over the Magic on Dec. 14. The Bobcats clearly missed injured center Emeka Okafor Saturday, when they were outrebounded 44-35 and outscored 52-42 in the paint. Okafor, averaging 14.9 points and 11.7 rebounds, has missed the last seven games with a strained left calf. Charlotte shot just 29.1 percent (25-for-86) from the field in a 106-74 loss at Orlando on Jan. 5 in the teams' last meeting Team Comparison Team Record Standings PF PA Road/Home Streak L10 Orlando 29-35 3rd Southeast / 9th East 93.7 94.3 Road 10-22 Lost 2 2-8 Charlotte 22-41 5th Southeast / 14th East 95.4 101.2 Home 13-17 Lost 8 2-8 Orlando Notes Mar 11 Game: at Charlotte, March 12 Orlando fell to 2-7 against the Southwest Division, its worst record against any division. ...Orlando is just 4-14 when playing the first half of back-to-back games, but 7-10 in the second. The Magic plays in Charlotte on Monday. ...Orlando is only 10-22 on the road, but is one victory away from eclipsing last season's total (10-31). ...F/C Tony Battie has missed 15 straight games due to a fractured right thumb after playing in 196 consecutive contests. ...Orlando is 11-9 in games decided by five points or less, but 18-26 in games decided by six or more points. ...The Magic has allowed 100 or more points in three of its last four road games - all losses - and in four of six games overall. Charlotte Notes Mar 10 F Sean May returned to the lineup after missing 20 games with a knee injury. He scored 13 points and had three rebounds ... F Emeka Okafor missed his seventh straight game with a strained calf. The Bobcats have not won a game during that stretch ... Charlotte is now 22-41 through 63 games which is four games ahead of pace for last season ... The Bobcats bench outscored the Grizzlies bench 31-27 ... Memphis is one of five teams which Charlotte has never beaten in its brief history ... F Gerald Wallace recorded his tenth double-double of the season and with a 24-point, 17-rebound performance.

~O~ 565 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 The misery, the grief, the agony has not swallowed me whole yet. I still have that belief and will continue to listen and watch although I'm being accustomed to losing. As for the Rockets vs. Magic game, once this roster was trailing, the game was in there hands to decide if they were going to win or not. The Magic Killers overtly killed us. Face it, most players favorite colors are blue. Thats the reason that they killed the Magic so wickedly. *Houston Rockets* Yao Ming(37pts,9-11fts, 14-22FG,4BLKS) Battier(4-5(3PMA), 8REBS, 12PTS Tracy McGrady(6-11FGs, 6-8FTS, 10AST, 19PTS Juwann Howard(5-5FGA,4-4FTM,14PTS)Perfect *Orlando Magic* Grant Hill(8-14FG, 17PTS) Darko Milicic( 34:55 MINS, 6-12FG, 3-3FT, 9REBS, 6PF,15PTS) Hedo Turkoglu( 33:20MINS, 3-9FG, 2-3(3PM), 4AST, 10PTS) Dwight Howard( 31:33MINS, 6-12FG, 4-5FTS, 12REBS, 16PTS JJ Redick(2:56MINS, 1-2FGS, 1-1(3PM), 3PTS From the stats above, I don't have to say nothing. Dwight was not even in foul trouble and yet played 31 minutes instead of 40. Hedo Turkoglu accommodated Ariza's contributing minutes. All the others should be obvious. Last Game Struggles? -20PF allowing Rockets 24-30 free throw attempts -10 Turnovers, fantastic improvement -12-20 free throws, minor improvement -Outrebounded 36 to 38 -Defense Overall -Team offense, 38-84FGS(45.2%) - Oh My God, 23 assists!! Unnecessary Magic Killers? Sean May* Brevin Knight Gerald Wallace Raymond Felton Adam Morrison? Standings? Orlando Magic: 29-35 L2, 9th Team In The East, 1-9 in Last 10, 10-22 On The Road, 3rd In The Southeast, Road Streak 4L, Last 10 Road Games 0-10. Charlotte Bobcats: 22-41 L8, 14tj Team In The East, 2-8 In Last 10, 13-17 At Home, 5th In The Southeast, Home Streak L2, Last 10 Home Games 6-4. Not To Play?
