jack daniel 999 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Posted February 1, 2008 NBA Recap... Turkoglu's late free throws and 23 points help Magic edge 76ers 108-106 , Posted Feb 1 2008 10:03PM PHILADELPHIA(AP) Hedo Turkoglu hit two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining and finished with 23 points, and the Orlando Magic beat the Philadelphia 76ers 108-106 on Friday night for their third straight victory. Rashard Lewis added 18 points, Dwight Howard had 17 points and 14 rebounds and Carlos Arroyo contributed 14 points for the Magic, who earned their NBA-best 18th road win while recording their fourth straight victory in Philadelphia. Detroit and Phoenix each have 17 road wins. Maurice Evans scored 13 points and Keyon Dooling had 10 for Orlando, which improved to 30-18. Andre Miller had 23 points and 11 assists, while Lou Williams added 20 points for the Sixers (18-29), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. Thaddeus Young contributed 15 points, Willie Green added 12 and Andre Iguodala had 11. The Magic led 99-93 with 5:15 left, but the Sixers responded with a 9-2 run to take a 102-101 advantage on a 3-pointer by Williams. Iguodala tied the game at 106 on a driving layup with 1:36 remaining. Orlando had one last offensive possession with 10.1 seconds left and Turkoglu was fouled by Iguodala. The Sixers could have sent the game into overtime, but Howard stole the ball from Samuel Dalembert in the low post and ran out the clock to preserve the win. Orlando snapped an 84-all tie late in the third quarter to take an 87-84 advantage on a 3-pointer by Evans with 18 seconds remaining. The first half featured 14 lead changes and 11 ties, with Philadelphia eventually pulling ahead, 60-59, at the break. Both teams shot well from the field, with Orlando hitting 54 percent and the 76ers connecting on 50 percent. Williams led all scorers with 15 points in the first half. Notes: Aaron McKie, who had been a volunteer assistant coach with the Sixers this season, was signed earlier Friday by the Los Angeles Lakers and then traded to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the deal for F Pau Gasol. A 13-year veteran with Portland, Detroit, Philadelphia and the Lakers, McKie is expected to be released by Memphis. Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski said McKie was signed for a "substantial amount of money.'' ... The Magic were forced to move their morning shootaround from the Wachovia Center to the Community College of Philadelphia because of Wing Bowl, an annual chicken wing-eating contest, which drew more than 20,000 spectators. ... Philadelphia F Jason Smith was inactive with a sprained left ankle. http://www.nba.com/games/20080201/ORLPHI/recap.html Quote
cappacappa Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 why the hell after every game, regardless that we won or not, there is always someone to bash some players or to praise some eventhough the player mess up. Quote

Who started as PG today? Arroyo. I think we're like 7-1 now with Nelson sitting. people are getting that stat mixed up... we're like 5-1 or 6-1, maybe 7-1 with Nelson OUT...not sitting...OUT...as in OUT for the game...not coming off the bench... For a second I thought you were chiming in to help him out... lol quote: Stats dont tell the whole story. Its sad how bad carlos is with the game on the line. Period. At least Carlos lets a better shooter take the last shot instead of clanking it or getting it swatted away I think Carlos played very good tonight. Just one TO in 24 minutes. Good number of assists, but specially controling the tempo and protecting the ball. (except when Rashard could not bend down to catch that pass, or he passed it too hard? Quote

PrOdigy ReBoRn Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 To all them haters of the lewis signing, its officially time to shut up. Yes, he was over paid. But it kinda goes like this: NBA Arena-250 million dollars(or whatever it is lol) Signing a dynamic duo to win games-200 million dollars Actually winning a game-priceless You see, last year we were using battie who averaged six points a game, this year we got four great players (ik foyle is included, but he gets the rebounds and hey, how many people do you know that actually cares about politics?) The difference of this team compared to last years team is the simple fact that we are normally winning games we are supposed to. Let me say that again. The difference of this team compared to last years team is the simple fact that we are normally WINNING games we are supposed to. Without our improvements i doubt we would be 22-26. Honestly, I love dwight but hes not that good. Yet. How can we hate on a team that conquered the curse of shaquino (to lose almost every time our hopes our up). Yes our defense is going to improve. But honestly even the spurs are saying that. And even though they are a bunch of old farts, they did invent the d in defense. Were great, teams fear us. THEY ACTUALLY FEAR US. Yes we need to make one trade. But weve got the talent(reddick, d12, rl9, heDO) and the role players (foyle, carmeer, bogans, cook, evans, dooling) and weve got the coaching (ewing, malone, van gundy) to be great in the future and now. Redick needs time, his day will come. I have noticed that he has quick hands, meaning he could be transformed into a stealing machine. (iknow my hopes are high...but so is his three point average) Be patient, we will reach 56-26 and go into the second round. And sense i have a habit of repeating big stuff ill do it again. we will reach 56-26 and go into the SECOND ROUND. LIFE IS GOOD Quote

the anchovie Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 The Magic have to take care of the ball and play every position if they are going to go far in the playoffs. Currently they are ending games the right way which is winning. Quote
