TrueMagicFan07 675 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 MAGIC TEAM REPORT Arron Afflalo will miss the rest of the Orlando Magic's season Afflalo has been diagnosed with a strained hamstring Josh Robbins | Orlando Sentinel 11:17 a.m. EDT, March 23, 2013 Arron Afflalo, the Orlando Magic's leading scorer, will miss the team's final 12 games this regular season after he injured his right hamstring Friday night, team officials said. Afflalo has been diagnosed with a strained hamstring, and team officials plan to treat the injury with rest and physical therapy. Afflalo's absence will force coach Jacque Vaughn to give additional time to backup guard Beno Udrih and also to youngsters E'Twaun Moore, DeQuan Jones and Doron Lamb. Maurice Harkless, already the team's starting small forward, will take on a more significant role in the team's offense. Afflalo is averaging a team-high 16.5 points per game and a team-high 14.1 shot attempts per game. Vaughn already had experimented with playing starting point guard Jameer Nelson alongside Udrih, a natural point guard. Now, it seems likely that Nelson and Udrih will play increased minutes together.

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 I predict a Udrih/Meer starting backcourt with Moore and Jones getting most of the backup minutes. Can't see Lamb being thrown to the wolves but who knows. I think Vuc plays if nothing more than to get another 20/20 (I kid), but of course O'Quinn starts if Vuc doesn't play. Wouldn't mind seeing him string together a few more solid games to see what we've got with him. Having said all that, Vaughn will shock us all and start Jameer/Hark/Harris/Nicholson/O'Quinn.

I actually don't mind that line up. Put Nicholson on Battier and you're set. Battier doesn't do anything but hang at the 3 point line because you have to help on Lebron.

TrueMagicFan07 675 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 **UPDATE** Dwyane Wade rests sore knee By Michael Wallace | ESPN.com] Updated: March 24, 2013, 6:40 PM ET MIAMI -- Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade missed Sunday night's game against the Charlotte Bobcats to rest his sore right knee, the team announced before tipoff. Wade has been treated the past few days for soreness in the knee, but has played throughout the Heat's historic winning streak, which stood at 25 consecutive games entering Sunday. They are within eight of tying the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the longest streak in NBA history. "He got hit in the knee a couple of games back, and it's just sore and bruised," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said of Wade. "We are going to be proactive, and hopefully he will get some treatment and feel better tomorrow." Spoelstra has previously given veteran rotation players a couple of games off toward the end of the season as part of what he considers a "maintenance" program to help rest them before the playoffs. It's likely that Wade is sitting out as more of a precaution, although Spoelstra has recently scoffed at the notion that he might start resting players with about three weeks remaining in the regular season.

Does anyone else remember the act Queen James put on tonight in the game against the Bobcats (worthy of an Academy Award)? He was brushed across the head by one of the Bobcats, and you would have thought he had a concussion the way he acted, but he stayed in the game. . .smh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
