Orlando favored by 1.5 and its a landslide where 82% are picking Orlando to win.

This game everyone thinks will be easy for Blazers but Orlando is filled with Blazer killers. If they are hitting the three ball.... ITS OVER!!!

Dont like the bLazers chances here.
 
Orlando (especially without Howard) is just like us, nothing but a bunch of streaky 3 point shooters and 1 really solid player (in this case Howard for Orlando and Aldridge for Portland. Good thing there solid guy is out).
 
Hey Mixum, is there any way we win tonight? I don't think it's a cakewalk but... any way at all?
 
I think Orlando goes small, pushing Bass to the five, Hedo to the four and starting Q-Rich at the three. I don't see them trying to stay big. I think they run a bit tonight and hope their shooters are hot.

For us, we have to work the boards. If we outrebound ORL tonight, we stand a good chance.

Important to remember that long shots lead to long rebounds, and I think there will be lots of long shots from both sides tonight. Hustle (or dare I say, scrappiness?) from our perimeter guys will be key to our winning the rebound battle. Expect about 12 boards combined for Wes and Rudy tonight, and double-digits for Crash.
 
This arena is beautiful!!!!!
 
Is this game televised?

I mean, to those of us without ComCrap?
 
Good, not that Agent Zero has ever done well against us, but good anyway.

So you are saying somebody should show up with a sign that says "Hey Gilbert, ever score that 100 points against the TrailBlazers?" :ohno:

The O seems to think it will be Nelson/J-Rich/Hedo/Ryan Anderson/Bass. With LMA, they almost have to start Anderson, don't they? Hedo can't defend LMA, and neither can Bass.
 
My guess is Earl Clark will be on LMA a large part of the night, even if he doesn't necessarily start. Then Bass probably the rest. We'll see I suppose.
 
Anyone know of a solid link? Unfortunately I don't live in the area anymore and don't get local broadcasts...even though I do have Comcast out here in Denver.
 
These Magic announcers are very ignorant. 30 seconds in they say Miller is by far our best post player and that Batum has no offensive game.
 
Yeah, I think it's because the Cleveland, Sacramento, Charlotte, etc announcers know their teams aren't all that good therefore they need to be more neutral and present a well-announced game. As opposed to teams like Denver, Orlando teams try to talk up their teams because there is something to talk about.

Doesn't excuse the ignorance of the visiting teams personnel though. These things they are saying about Portland are head-scratching to say the least.
