Tonight's Orlando Magic Game: vs. Charlotte Bobcats

Charlotte Bobcats at Orlando Magic, Mar 14, 2010 6:00 PM EDT


The Orlando Magic can clinch a playoff spot and tie a team record with their 9th straight win if they defeat the Charlotte Bobcats tonight in what could be a playoff preview of sorts. I say "of sorts" because All-Star small forward Gerald Wallace will sit out with a sprained left ankle, and he'd most assuredly play a big role in a potential first-round matchup. Additionally, the recently signed Larry Hughes is recovering from a hand injury suffered earlier this season with the Knicks and will not be available for at least a week. So essentially the Bobcats are spotting the Magic two rotation players today. But will that advantage lead to a franchise record-tying win?

UPDATE: Orlando's Matt Barnes is day-to-day with a sprained left big toe and won't play tonight. Mickael Pietrus will start in his place. Barnes had yet to miss a game this year.

As Tom Ziller writes, the Bobcats' margin for error without Wallace is "minuscule", largely because he's among the few players on the team who can score. Stephen Jackson, Raymond Felton, and even struggling second-year guard D.J. Augustin will have to assume more responsibility on offense, which is where the Bobcats are weakest. Charlotte's just one-tenth of a point per 100 possessions worse than Orlando on D, which is why they could be dangerous in the playoffs. With Theo Ratliff, Tyson Chandler, and DeSagana Diop up front, the Bobcats have three defenders who can handle Dwight Howard reasonably well one-on-one, which in turn helps them cover the Magic's shooters. This strategy worked in the last meeting, albeit with different personnel checking Howard, as he scored just 10 points.

So it again looks like Jameer Nelson and Vince Carter will have to step up for Orlando to win this one. Otherwise, given the Bobcats' iffy offense, we could see a score somewhere in the 86-80 range, which favors Charlotte. Without Wallace, the Bobcats' perimeter defense weakens, which is why Carter should be especially aggressive.

Only 23 points scored by the Magic in 18 second half minutes

Heck, the Magic scored 22 points the first five minutes last night in the second quarter.

This game can still be won by the Magic, but they will need defensive stops and will have to find some offense.

Calls have been even on both sides

Magic have 1 more FTA than Charlotte; the Bobcats are making their FTs, though, which makes a big difference.

Let me put some perspective on this loss...

… I know we’re all disappointed, but the streak had to end sometime. Last night, the Mavericks, at home, had their 13 game winning streak broken by the Knicks… by 32 points!

There’s no reason why the Magic can’t start another winning streak Wednesday night; tonight just wasn’t the Magic’s night; the Bobcats deserve credit for playing better.
