Owner Real Deal Posted November 18, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Monster beating in the making, especially if Westbrook decides to play reckless basketball. The crazy thing is, the Magic aren't sitting so well at the point with Jameer gone, and ball movement won't be so fluid without Turkoglu, so they could be in a situation that suits the Thunder better. All OKC has to do is force Dwight to catch the ball out of the paint area, and defend the perimeter. Sounds easy, but it never is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Looking forward to J-Will starting, I think he'll surprise a lot of people. I think we should win this game, gladly we have Rashard back and hopefully he's shaken off the rust. This Thunder team isn't one to underestimate though.

Riot Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Man it really sucks watching online. One second there's 19 seconds left in the first, then they cut and its the end of the quarter. I guess I'll try to watch again in the 3rd or 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtTheDriveIn Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Howard with 3 fouls in only a quarter and a half of play. Even though we're up, this doesn't help us. Thank God Carter decided to bring his game today. 14 points so far on near perfect shooting.

OldChili Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Carter's playing really well today, good to see the Magic with an 18 point lead at the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChili Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Not such a great second half for Carter thus far; he has missed his last five shots. Still a solid 6-13 from the field. Rashard needs one more assist for a triple double. Edited November 19, 2009 by OldChili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Nice win tonight. Showed that the Thunder aren't our kryptonite or anything like that. Too bad Rashard got benched before he could get that last assist for the triple dub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 19, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I was sort of pissed because they didn't show this game on our local channel (they usually do despite it being a road game, not sure why they skipped it now). I expected the Magic to take it, though...and it was a beating after three, with Orlando up 30, haha. They just took that comfortable lead and decided to coast through the fourth. Looks like they didn't limit Howard very well in the 18-19 minutes he played (still put up 11/10), and the Magic did end up hitting 13/31 threes (which is a good 41% from downtown). Harden had a great game, but all five starters shot a combined 14-46 from the floor (30.4%) and none of them shot over 39%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted November 19, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Do you think we have a shot of beating the Celtics this friday? It's in Boston.Not sure, to be honest. It'll be a tough game without Jameer. Rondo will simply pick apart J-Will (who is playing on bad knees, doesn't have that quickness or lift he used to have). If I were to put money on it, with it being in Boston, I'd take the Celtics. I think that Sheed will find a way to draw fouls on Howard, and when you remove him, it's all up to Carter and Lewis to beat a very deep Boston team. Carter needs to go right after Ray Allen from the start, get him into foul trouble, wear him down and take away that three-point threat to begin with. With Pietrus giving Pierce fits (cross your fingers and hope he keeps him from that accurate elbow jumper), it forces Rondo and Garnett into a two-man game against the Magic, who will start launching threes to put Boston to sleep, as their perimeter defense isn't as solid as the interior defense they'll pull from their hat. So...while Boston could take it, I really wouldn't be surprised if Orlando pulls out with a win. They just need to contain Pierce and get Allen out of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
