No way.

Rafer will continue to be the starter. That’s been the plan on along.

nelson will come off the bench

and will play in short stints since he is more effective that way.

I’m sensing a Rashard and Dwight breakout tonight (compared to last game) and a solid Hedo performance.

Dwight just needs to play his game and not worry about foul trouble

At times he just seems so timid. But then he’ll make the worst brainless foul such as an obvious elbow.

What I would really like to see out of Dwight, in this game and in general, is to really go up strong. It seems at times he attempts to show “touch” when he could really go up strong and just jam it. He could have quite a few more and 1’s if he really went up with authority.

I'm not buying the idea that Dwight has to take over the game on the offensive end.

That call for him to be Hakeem, David Robinson, or Shaq is not good advice. Do I hope for good offensive production out of him? Absolutely, when Dwight’s dunking, EVERYBODY has fun, and the game rolls. But! Defensive domination should be the strategy here. He can control the defense. He can’t control what measures the Lakers take on D against him, and there’s no sense in forcing things.

I'm also not buying the line that Kobe has the best mid-range game in history.

I really dislike this better best stuff, when it comes to individual players. Look, if it can’t be decided by the winner of a game of one on one, then perhaps it’s a little more complicated than the press treats it.

There are tons of ridiculously talented players that have played in the NBA. And they’re all very different in how they approach the game, in their physical makeup and their skills.

I think the press has just gotten tired of looking for the next Jordan, and they’ve decided that they’re going to call it for Lebron or Kobe just for the sake of not having to talk about the next Jordan for another ten years.

But LA’s defense has been MUCH better tonight. Fewer open looks for Orlando and forcing more turnovers. To me, an example of how youcan get a similar result by two very different ways.

Has been getting beat by Farmar all night

on that last possession, Farmar blows by him, misses an open 10 footer? Meer can’t scoop the rebound, Farmar takes it from him, loses Jameer again for an open reverse layup, which he luckily missed.

I think SVG coached a pretty bad game

The fault pretty much lies with him. Clearly the dish down to Dwight wasn’t working. Off of PnR is was okay but far too often we would just dump it to him and tell him to work. It wasn’t working. We maybe wasted 10 possessions on that play alone.

Then he played Reddick far too long

by matthan on Jun 7, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

He managed with what he had. I didn't think it was a pretty bad coached game by SVG.

Lee and Pietrus was in foul trouble, so that screwed up the guard rotation.

Alston and Nelson were struggling.

Credit the Gortat/Howard combination for creating a surplus in the rebounding department, a big reason why the Magic were able to stay in the game despite turnovers and spotty shooting.

In how many minutes?

Plus it is JJ Reddick. If you start playing who is “hot” you are going to lose. “Hot” and “Cold” doesn’t work. It is a horrible predictive factor. I understand playing Reddick at some points when foul trouble was in the works. He definitely shouldn’t have been playing late in the 4th and in OT.

by matthan on Jun 7, 2009 11:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

Redick played as many minutes as Alston.

Nelson played .. roughly 9 less minutes.

Magic are playing with house money and should be playing every game like it’s their last. LA is the team that “has” to win a ring here. And they’re playing with that urgency. Magic has to match it.

Great ballgame...

Definitely not Courtney’s fault. This one came down to free throws, and we had some uncharecteristically poor free throw shooting in the fourth quarter. Lots of little things to fix, but that wasa hell of a game.
