When did Howard become Duncan? Crazy offensive start for him.

 

[MickZagger]

Dwight is abusing us.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Over/under on D-Ho's scoring tonight? 40?

 

[HailBlazers]

wish we had more than one full strength center

 

[VenomXL]

Howard is ridiculous. I know it's been a while since I've seen the Magic play, but his offense is staggering.

LINK?

It wouldn't matter.

 

[Rhal]

Our only shot is for howard to be howard and pick up a few stupid fouls. He is staggeringly good tonight, even 4 for freaken 4 from the the FT line.

 

[VenomXL]

Vinsanity has some major male pattern baldness going on.

 

[VenomXL]

Howard misses!

So, when do we start doubling?

 

[VenomXL]

What a shit first quarter. Not sure about these refs either.

I am.

 

[HailBlazers]

It wouldn't matter.

IF, ... wait not gonna go there

 

[VenomXL]

Oh God, here comes Marks on Howard.

LOL. Dwight 6/6 at the line.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Our suckage is on national TV and to compound that, Sean Marks just checked in.

FML.

 

[VenomXL]

Second unit is digging us a massive hole.

[BLAZER PROPHET]

We couldn't hit the ocean with a beachball.

 

[VenomXL]

Good job Nic.

 

[VenomXL]

Andre is so crafty.

Put those goggles on Rudy.

 

[VenomXL]

We are playing zero defense.

Brandon Roy is invisible.

Tonight he's being paid $165,000, btw.

He has seven points on 3/5 shooting. He is slow to rotate on defense though, that last three was on him.

He's hitting some shots, but the real impact I see him having on the game (aside from his porous defense) is that opponent's no longer fear him -- defenses just doesn't give him that much attention anymore.

 

[VenomXL]

Nice little run here. I like LA drawing Howard from the basket.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

We're getting it together.

I agree. I think he needs to start using that to his advantage where he can.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I agree. I think he needs to start using that to his advantage where he can.

That's the rub ... he can't

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Ya know, Reddick is an excellent 6th man.

 

[VenomXL]

That's the rub ... he can't

I don't believe that. I think it's all mental though, and whether he can commit to making those adjustments.
