Tonight's Game: Orlando Magic at New York Knicks

Orlando Magic at New York Knicks, Feb 25, 2009 7:30 PM EST

Rashard Lewis PF David Lee
Dwight Howard C Jared Jeffries

The Orlando Magic will try to shake off last night's humiliating 120-102 loss to the Chicago Bulls when they play the New York Knicks tonight in Madison Square Garden. Through a sort of scheduling quirk, the Magic and Knicks have yet to play each other this season, although we're about two-thirds of the way through it. Hm.

One thing to keep an eye on tonight: how Knicks point guard Chris Duhon performs. The Magic targeted Duhon in free agency last summer, but he chose the Knicks, and the guaranteed starting job, instead. I'm not Duhon's biggest fan, but he'd make one heckuva backup to Jameer Nelson, no? As we know, the Magic eventually signed Mickael Pietrus with the money they were willing to give to Duhon. He has a sprained wrist and is not expected back until Friday's game against Detroit.

We could see an NBA record for most three-pointers attempted in a single game tonight, as the Magic and the Knicks love to hoist from long range. Orlando is a much better defensive team; is more talented; and has Dwight Howard, whom the smallish Knicks have no chance of stopping. However, one can replace the word "Knicks" with "Bulls" and get a fairly accurate picture of that team, which pasted the Magic last night. In other words, don't pencil this one in as a "W" for the Magic just yet.

Tip's at 7:30. With any luck, Knicks guard Nate Robinson will be too busy randomly jumping over Dwight Howard to actually do anything of consequence... like score 41 points, as he did Monday night against Indiana. Go Magic.

I keep forgetting

D’Antoni is playing Jeffries in the middle. Hopefully Dwight eats him for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. He may have to fight off Eddy Curry though.

Yeah, Curry ain't playing tonight.

The way Dwight has been playing since the All-Star break, he has no excuse dropping 30+ points tonight. Honestly.

Yep. This is, essentially, the key to the game.

Orlando won’t have a problem scoring. The Magic just need to buck up defensively.

lol, I left after the first few minutes

when Rashard was passing the ball to Alston after the Bulls had scored, but apparently doesn’t have peripheral vision because a Bull charged by and stole the ball for an easy layup. I knew what kind of game it was going to be after that. Plus, I was in a really bad mood anyway, so… :)

I’m hoping the Magic were so embarrassed last night that they play like their old selves. Otherwise Stan will need to start investing in Rolaids or something. Poor man.

It was extremely rare how well the bulls shot

seriously everytime I thought “okay, they’ve got to finally miss” nope, it went in. No intensity on defense whatsoever, it’s funny, the team that smoked Miami win’s the NBA championship this year, the team that played last night? gets bounced in the first round.

5 point game, ready for the 2 point game?

We can’t defend the 3, so Knicks will utilize a 2 for 1 down 2 points.
