It's a battle of Eastern Conference teams missing their leading scorers tonight at Amway Arena, as the host Orlando Magic have probably lost Vince Carter (stomach ailment) and the visiting Indiana Pacers will be without Danny Granger (torn plantar fascia). Additionally, Indiana will possibly not have the services of second-leading scorer Dahntay Jones (sore hip), while facing minutes limits for key contributors Mike Dunleavy and Tyler Hansbrough, who are coming off injuries of their own. Who's excited to watch this war of attrition?!
In theory, the Magic are better equipped than the Pacers to compensate for injury. J.J. Redick has proven to be a capable stopgap starter, while Mickael Pietrus has never been especially gunshy when called upon. They also have Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis, their healthy All-Stars, to attack the Pacers down low and from the perimeter, respectively. However, Indiana's Troy Murphy, T.J. Ford, and even Roy Hibbert are capable scorers, although we doubt Hibbert will do much against Howard, who's limited opposing centers to 8.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, the best such figures in the NBA.
Indy's on a two-game win streak after a six-game skid, while Orlando's dropped two straight for the first time since the last two games of the NBA Finals. How will the Magic respond in their first home game after an iffy four-game road swing?
Tip's at 7.

A win would be nice to kick off the Magic's lengthy homestand until the end of the month.

No Carter..
We should pass the ball well, and Howard should dominate with more touches..

What's with the anti-Vince crusade? You would think he just burned your house down and kicked your dog.

Crusade? Yes.. I have a vendetta.. Please.. He was like -16 last game. I’m
not on a crusade, just impatient and annoyed when we lose. Don’t take it so personally. I love the magic and want them to win. Period. I have been a fan since 89, and have become spoiled by success.

RA just lost his man on two screen rolls. Is that Vince's fault too?
"I guess killing will have to be fun enough"-Homer J. Simpson
I just think
He messes up the team dynamic right now. Running to the hoop with 20 secs on the shotchock and getting blocked embarassingly qualifies as a bonehead move.

right, focus on the one bad play he's had tonight so far and ignore all the good plays.
That is the definition of a hater! Peaches and JWill have hurt us much more than anything Carter has done so far tonight!

Do the Magic have a sense of entitlement or something?
It seems like they just walk out on the court and expect to win just by showing up…
The first home game after a long road trip is a "trap" game on some occasion
Magic certainly started the game flat.
Still plenty of time to get things going.

One other thing is J-Will has run out of gas after his hot start following J Nelson's injury...
Time for Mini-Me to come back…
It's gonna be a couple more weeks before Nelson is ready
We still need J-Will to be steady until then.
I guess he was due to level off after a whole string of outstanding games.

Take him out…Terrible shot selection…Bad fouls…horrible decisions on the court.
Why was there continuation on that? It was on the pass and catch, not on the shot.

So far...it's Vince Carter versus the Indiana Pacers...
When the rest of the Magic TEAM decides to step up, maybe we’ll have a chance to get back in this game.
Terrible quarter for the Magic
Pacers shot 58%, the Magic 26%.
Carter has 14 of the Magic’s 17 points on 5 of 10 shooting… rest of the Magic are 1 for 13.

That's more because Howard decided to show up, after the bench brought some energy.
Carter kept the team afloat while the rest of the starters sucked it up.

What's going on everybody? Formerly DSK here...
How’s everyone been?
I’ve been extremely busy running my new blog, www.gonzoball.com, a Seton Hall Men’s Basketball blog, which was recently picked up by SBNation — last month. Yes, I am a proud, new member of the wonderful family here. We’re currently in the transition to moving the domain over to them, however, I’ll definitely be keeping the same domain name. I’ve been meaning to write a Fan Post letting everyone know what’s been going on and where I’ve been — I haven’t become a Cavs fan or anything ;) I think I will still do that later tonight. Just wanted to drop in, I’ll be in and out of here throughout the night tonight.
Nice hearing from you DSK
I’ll check out your new blog.

The refs can review whatever they want
2 years ago, I swear to God I watched a regular season game where time had expired with the Cavaliers losing. Bron vehemently complained saying he was fouled and convinced the refs to go to the monitors to look at the play. The refs went to the monitors and came back with no time on the clock saying he was indeed fouled. He shot free throws and the Cavs won. This game also determined playoff seeding, as the Cavs moved up in the seeding and the team they were playing moved down, I wish I could remember more details.
Point is, the refs will change anything they want, they will make up rules if they need to or are convinced by Lebron James.
