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.

by Raptorel on Mar 17, 2010 6:32 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

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.

That explains VC's extended absence in the 2nd quarter...

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

Magic shot just 9 of 22 in the second quarter

…but the Spurs shot just 7 of 20.

Overall, Magic shooting 51%, the Spurs 42 1/2%/

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.

I don't think it's happened all season that all 12 Magic players have scored in a game

…and that 3 by Ryan wasn’t close.

I'm not sure what's worse

The fact you’re talking about Disney. or you’re lamenting an old Disney ride.

The fact that you consider yourself a Human Squid says it all.

i love seeing the bench

speaking of that, Gortat arguably outperforms Dwight with 21 minutes, 7 points and 10 rebounds

Nice to see the Magic put away a team in the second half

…and not let them get close.

Have a good night!

just switched over to the Bulls-Mavs game

man that green looks horrendous… indicative of the Bulls’ form, it’s green with sickness

by RL Magic on Mar 17, 2010 10:38 PM EDT reply actions  

That's their traditional St. Patrick's Day unis

Actually, I can’t believe the game is this close.

Magic looked a heck of a lot better tonight than Sunday night

It’s a wonder what 2 days of rest will do for a team.

Magic shot 52%, and 10 of 23 on threes (43 1/2%).
