Tonight's Game: Charlotte Bobcats at Orlando Magic

Charlotte Bobcats at Orlando Magic, Apr 15, 2009 8:00 PM EDT


2008/2009 NBA Regular Season
Charlotte Bobcats main logo
 @
Orlando Magic main logo
35-4658-23
April 15th, 2009
Amway Arena
8:00 PM
Sun Sports HD
Probable starters:
D.J. Augustin PG Rafer Alston
Raymond Felton SG Courtney Lee
Gerald Wallace SF Mickael Pietrus
Boris Diaw PF Tony Battie
Emeka Okafor C Dwight Howard
Previous Meetings:
November 16th: Magic 90, Bobcats 85
February 17th: Magic 107, Bobcats 102 (OT)
February 20th: Magic 92, Bobcats 80

So, here it is: the last game of the Orlando Magic's season. Last month, it looked like it'd be a bit more significant, as the Charlotte Bobcats were in playoff contention. However, literally nothing is at stake in this game, and as such it is only a final playoff tune-up for the Magic, who hope to avoid losing their 4th straight game to a lottery team to close out the regular season; and for some of the Bobcats--guys like Cartier Martin, Dontell Jefferson, and Juwan Howard--who are looking to prove they belong in the NBA. And don't be fooled by the Bobcats' poor record. It's still a franchise-best, and although their long-term financial outlook is bleak, you should still respect the job they've done on the floor this year.

So the lineup chart posted above should be accurate in terms of who will literally start the game, but I can almost guarantee you that none of the starters, save for the rookies D.J. Augustin of Charlotte and Courtney Lee of Orlando, will play more than 15 minutes. Hedo Turkoglu is out and Rashard Lewis listed as doubtful, as he was unable to complete this morning's walkthrough, according to the Orlando Sentinel. At least Dwight Howard will be available.

But it might as well be the preseason, really. The game is merely academic. If Dwight blocks 9 shots, he'll reach 237 for the season, which would give him a per-game average of exactly 3.0. So, um, there's one thing to watch for, as well as Jeremy Richardson's last chance to gun as a member of the Magic. His propensity to shoot often in limited minutes has become a bit of a private gag among Magic fans, and it falls squarely into the "it's funny because it's true" category: Richardson's usage rate--that is, the number of team possessions he uses--of 24.1 is in line with the likes of Chris Bosh, Stephen Jackson, and Zach Randolph, three guys who are earning franchise-player-level salaries. And that's the last advanced statistic I'll mention in a regular-season game preview this year.

Wow.

The game starts at 8 on Sun Sports and will be broadcast in HD.

Magic are 3 point favorites

…with an over/under of 184.5

We’ll see if Richardson and Mickael Pietrus can shoot better than their combined 4 of 25 effort Monday against the Bucks.

it starts at 8?

aw hell, my dad and I both rushed home from work for a game that starts an hour later. >:|

Hopefully we’ll win this one. I don’t want to watch them lose the last game of the regular season. Have fun here, guys!

Hopefully my spot up in the nosebleeds will afford me me some protection should the stench from the court become too great to bear!

Seriously, WE NEED TO WIN A D@MN GAME BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS ’cause if we play as awful as we did against the Bucks I may well puke on the people sitting in front of me!! :P

Given the poor financial performance of a number of teams in the NBA, I wonder if the economic downturn will lead to – oh noes – contraction…

I actually the league, quality wise, could do with dropping a few teams although I don’t actually expect it to happen.

by eltharion_doa on Apr 15, 2009 7:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Magic could loan them Gortat for a few quarters

What do we care at this point? We still have Foyle to fill in for Dwight.

It seems neither the Sixers or the Bulls want to win tonight...

Maybe they both would rather face the Celtics instead of the Magic. Hmmm…

by malars on Apr 15, 2009 8:36 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Possibly.

I’m looking at the Magic as sleeping giants. They have been playing indifferently the last few weeks, and I can see them roaring through the 1st round of the playoffs.

Most things I've read lately peg the Magic as the team most likely to get upset in the first round

Given how poorly they’ve played lately, maybe that’s fair. But c’mon… 58 wins. 4th-best point differential in the league. Seriously.

I suspect

It’s more about our injuries and the possibility of getting the Pistons that was influencing that.

Coached by Vinny Del Negro . . .

Unless there is a situation where he can scream into a shooting Magic player’s ear at a critical moment, I cannot see him outcoaching SVG.

Yeah, I've read the same things

However we’ve watched the Magic all season, and we know how absolutely dominant they can be (I don’t think I’m being a total homer here either). I can just see them crushing Bulls/76ers in the first round like they are nothing.

P.S. I can’t help being hard on (pause) our team. I have SVG syndrome and attend a support group regularly!

Gortat on the free market

What’s he worth? 3 years, $10m? 4 and $14-15m?

by eltharion_doa on Apr 15, 2009 8:57 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

That's probably about right . . .

If he explodes in the playoffs, he might even merit a midlevel offer from somebody.

Seems to me he’d rather play guys who will be in the playoff rotation like A.J., J.J., and Marcin.

Peaches has been stone cold, so give him some time. And JJ, Gortat, AJ and Battie will be part of the playoff rotation.

If we’re playing Richardson or Foyle in the playoffs, we’re done.

Anyone else suspect...

…that showcasing Battie in this game = an indication that this is it for him in Orlando, and they’re giving him one last game with the Magic?

Of course, they’re doing the same thing for Pietrus. So they could just be trying to give both of them PT in advance of the playoffs.

Battie is more likely to go because he has an expiring contract.
