Tonight's Orlando Magic Game: vs. San Antonio Spurs
San Antonio Spurs at Orlando Magic, Mar 17, 2010 8:00 PM EDT
The Orlando Magic will try to bounce back after their first loss in 8 tries tonight when they host the streaking San Antonio Spurs, winners of 4 straight and 8 out of 9. I'm a bit Spurs'd out after this morning's post about their defense, so this preview will be pretty brief. Ready to make the jump?

To me, theee most important thing to keep in mind is that the Spurs are more dangerous than their record lets on. Only the Lakers, Nuggets, and Jazz have a better point differential out west. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't buy the "Spurs are dead" hype either:
"There's just not a lot of holes in their team," Van Gundy said. "I don't know what people wanted or expected, but that's a pretty good team that I'm sure those other teams in the West are not going to be looking forward to getting in the playoffs."
The Spur to watch tonight is Manu Ginobili, who more-or-less won the Spurs' game against the Heat last night on his own. He's also proven to make offseason acquisition Richard Jefferson, who's struggled to adapt to San Antonio's system, actually relevant. Antonio McDyess, another new Spur, is no stranger to killing the Magic after his most recent stint with the Detroit Pistons. His offensive rebounding gives the Magic fits. And we haven't touched on Hall-of-Fame center Tim Duncan or rookie power forward DeJuan Blair, who will challenge Dwight Howard for a rebounding title in the very near future.
If there's a positive for Orlando going in, it's that the Spurs ceded a 22-2 run to Miami last night, seemingly running out of gas. They didn't get a chance to rest much prior to tonight's game. And the last time they played in Orlando, it was on the second night of a back-to-back, and they lost. To no one's surprise, they blamed the schedule.

I'm kinda worried.
Those rebounders inside will cause problems for the Magic. Hopefully our offense will be on enough that it will make the inevitable offensive boards for the Spurs not matter to the game’s outcome.
I hate Varejao.
I'd like to see Ryan Anderson play tonight
Not necessarily instead of Bass, but I’d like to see him play. I think he could gives us another way of attacking the Spurs and rebounding.
geez....reading all that killed any hope of a win for me

Blair's window of opportunity to battling Dwight for rebounds is probably 2 years
I don’t want to jinx the kid and hope he has a long fruitful career, but he has literally no ACL’s in his knees.

It'd be nice to see Shard have a good game tonight
The Spurs really don’t have anyone that can chase him around. We’re definitely going to need an active Matt Barnes on the boards as well.
My 3 yr old's Teacher: Is he yelling white power?
My Wife: No, he's yelling Dwight Howard.
I agree
The looks will be there, we just need Shard to knock down the open shot.

The Magic are 7 point favorites
…with an over/under of 193.
The Spurs are only 1-4 this season in games coming off an upset win as an underdog (as was the case last night when Miami was favored to beat the Spurs).

Vince vs. RJ
Those two jumpshots about a minute or so ago, could be a sign of things to come. I expect these guys to battle each other all night on the offensive end.

He bumped knees awkwardly with Matt Bonner. He said he’s fine though, so he’ll start the 2nd half.

late in the 2nd quarter I notice we were doing a lot of passing..
but ultimately not a lot of driving to the lane, or feeding Dwight.. but the latter was negated by Duncan and double-teaming
Officially, D12 had just 2 FGA in the first half
…but he did attempt 6 free throws, making just 1.
He played just 12 of the 24 minutes due to the 2 quick fouls he picked up in the first.

Last night I went to see “The Green Zone”. There were only about 20 people in the theater. I noticed a couple sitting in front of me. The guy kept pulling his BlackBerry out during the movie. I thought to myself, “This guy is trying to look real important.” After the movie, the guy and girl got up to leave…Turns out, I was sitting behind Dwight Howard…LOL
That is a funny story
…surprised he wasn’t mobbed by autograph seekers.

LOL...I didn't get a good look at her. Obviously she was very short compared to him.
But, it could have easily been a friend or family member or something.
What's her name-
The sideline reporter for the kings? Darn, she was cute.

LOL sorry I finally got feed that was in English
I was marvelling at the tripe they were talking about
“The Magic need another paint presence” – not if you have Howard
anyway.. VC and Jameer owning the opposition.. seen that before?
What an off-night for Duncan so far
1 of 10 shooting for 5 points.

The Spurs are just not the same team Mike.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
they were pretty dominant last night against Miami
at least in the first half, anyway.

They had been playing much better as of late
…but they have a tough closing schedule.

Yeah but that means so little.
I just don’t think Timmy has the same juice he once had.

that's true but he's still dominates half the PF and C's out there
of course Dwight’s top echelon, so he’s struggling
Yup.

why were they focusing on Adonal and Dwight simultaneously?
I moved back to the Spanish language feed ….
Adonal called D12 out and challenged him to be a leader all of the time
and clown less in practise and shoot arounds

Jon Barry still talking out of his ass, this time about Dwight.
The real "Masters of Panic" are commenting on this blog.
Good lord, Jon Barry is a tool.
He’s dissing Dwight Howard’s work ethic. He makes it sound like Dwight isn’t trying to become a better offensive player, like Kobe. What a jock-sniffer. Meanwhile, Dwight is chasing down a loose ball on the sideline, keeping it in bounds while avoiding the steal – hustling his ass off. Jerk.

what is this I don't even

I went to SI just now

it's almost like the "big 4" of the Magic pick names out of a hat to see who's gonna fire him today
and VC’s name is always picked, and Dwight’s not as much anymore
?? please rephrase

he's saying
it’s as if certain players choose which days they’re going to be “on fire”, b/c none of them over seem to be running on all cylinders concurrently

I'm not sure there's enough possessions in a game for them all to fire at once
Even Rashard’s solid night is only on 8 shots. We just have too many scorers.

Three Magic players in double figures
Carter with 24, Lewis with 14, and Nelson with 10.
