ThisIsTheYear 241 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Why is it that we're so intimidated of these guys? It's ridiculous. This is the only team in the league where we take the most terrible shot selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Cook. He has size and wont give the easy ones to Wallace. Held him down the two possessions before Sheed went out. Lewis just cannot guard him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicintheuk 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 a reasonsable start but for some reason we are giving Detroit way too much respect, wgat's happened to the defense we played Saturday? I liked Keyon taking on Billups though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Baseline Blog... By Nick Adams | OrlandoMagic.com FIRST QUARTER Welcome Magic fans to Amway Arena for tonight's match-up as the Magic set to square off against the Detroit Pistons. The Magic start Arroyo, Evans, Turkoglu, Lewis, and Howard...the Pistons counter with Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Antonio McDyess, and Rasheed Wallace. Orlando wins the opening tip and Dwight Howard quickly gets things going with a monster slam and follows at the other end with a block shot on Rasheed Wallace. Evans makes a pretty move to the basket and finishes a layin as the Magic are off to a great start leading 4-0. The Pistons go on a 7-0 run to take the lead but Rashard Lewis ends the streak with a floater off the glass. Rasheed strokes a three from the top of the key and Lewis answers again with a shot identical to his last one. Lewis keeps his good start going stealing a Detroit pass and taking it coast-to-coast for a slam. Detroit scores on back-to-back easy buckets but Bogans answers with his trademark three-pointer from the corner on a nice feed from Hedo. The game is a track meet and a Dwight Howard bucket makes the score 17-15 Pistons at the halfway mark in the first quarter. Dooling nails an 18-foot jumper but Richard Hamilton answers with a triple to put the Pistons ahead 24-17 as we head inside of three minutes remaining in the opening period. Both teams have come out shooting the ball well converting on over half of their field goal attempts. The Magic isolate Dwight Howard down low and Dwight throws in a hook plus the foul...he makes the free-throw to bring the Magic within four points. Tayshaun Prince scores back-to-back baskets to give the Pistons a six point advantage but Turk answers quickly with a layup. Prince throws in another basket and Howard answers with his ninth point of the opening quarter as it concludes. End of First: Detroit Pistons 30, Orlando Magic 26 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Natmayo 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 And as soon as we take the size out, and put Lewis on Sheed, he scores. Im not a Cook homer but Wallace didnt touch the ball when he was in. We need to keep size on him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
