[Sacke12]

Yes, Pursuer is back in action!
Too bad you didn't win but Howard played well for you once again. Nice to see tihs dynasty get going again! Good luck man.

[Clutch]

great to see Dwight Howard back in action - easily one of my fav players; looking forward to the season

[Cornerthree]

-km-, yeah, I'm back

Its_asdf, Yeah I looked at that option too, but I think Green just wouldn't be the player I need, he's not just the right perimeter scorer, that I need...

Marquis, Hey, 08 is still far away, I don't think much about it, but there's one thing for sure, It's the Lakers

Sacke12, IMO, Howard is the best guy in the team, so I'm using him as best as I can..

BoomDizzle#5, I like him too..


Thanks for the comments and the comeback cheers guys, I love it!

[looser]

Pursuer...my firend...you are back!!!
Too bad you didn't win...good luck for the next games!

Box Scores
Magic-107
Jazz-99

The Orlando Magic had a successful visit in Utah, heading home with a 107-99 victory over the Jazz.
Utah was scary in the first period as they won it by 9 points and cause big problems for Orlando, but Howard and co., managed to fight strong in the next quarter, winning it by 13 points for a 4 point lead, heading into the next half.
Orlando’s big three – Howard, Nelson and Turkoglu really shined in the second half, combining 60 points in two quarters(37 in the third) and leading the team straight to the win. Magic won the third quarter by only four points, to raise their lead to 8, then finished off Jazz in the last period with a 34:34 result, despite Williams’s 16 points in that period.
The starting five got big help from rookie J.J. Reddick who scored 14 points in only 20 minutes of gameplay. Magic played very good defense all game long, collecting 9 steals and blocking 5 shots, this gave some more confidence to finish off the outsider Jazz team.

[Sacke12]

Nice win! Dwight did it for you again (like always )

[looser]

Good win

I love your screen man!

[Clutch]

man i love Howard's game - dude is a BEAST! nice road win

[rl564411]

Nice to see you back!

And Nice Game!

[Marquis]

Nice win. I don't have good Hill trading advice so far, I will try to think. Are you gonna trade away Darko as well? (Because he left to Memphis)

edit: actually, I think you should try to get Rashard Lewis, to make the dynasty more realistic. Offer them Hill with such an expiring contract (they would love it, because they need rebuilding), and other player they need.

[Its_asdf]

Nice win and a nice game by Nelson. Hopefully the bench will start picking up the slack soon.

Judging from a few of the games' boxscores, you don't seem to have a very consistent sixth man scorer. Perhaps you should trade Hill for someone who can give you around 10 points off the bench on a nightly basis.

[Cornerthree]

Sacke12, Thanks, Howard's my most consistent..

looser, Thanks a lot, looser...

BoomDizzle#5, Yep, If only he was that aggresive offensively in real-life, I think he'd be somewhere nearly the same...

rl564411, Yeah, thanks a lot man..

Marquis, Well I thought about that too, but then I came up with an idea, not so realistic, but more helpful for me...

Anyways, thanks for the suggestion

Its_asdf, yep, that's one of my goals too, either to develop or to trade for a good 6th man...


Thanks again for the comments guys, really appreciate it...

Ray Allen scored a game-high 32 points…

Box Scores
Magic-98
Sonics-108

The Orlando Magic suffered a loss against the Seattle SuperSonics.
Magic came to the first period ready to fight and fired up, they won it by 9 points and were heading into the next period with power, but Nick Collison stopped them in the second. Sonics won the quarter by 3 points for a 6 point deficit, entering the second half.
Earl Watson was the x-factor for the Sonics tonight. He showed what he could do, by putting in 9 points, dishing out 9 dimes and stealing the ball 5 times. He helped the deadly duo – Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen to rule the third quarter and win it by ten, for a 4 point lead. Magic’s Dwight Howard suffered big foul problems, as he collected his 4th at the beginning of the quarter and couldn’t help his team at all. Then Turkoglu took the leader role from him and started pulling his team up, but not for long. After Sonics’ three treys, Magic lost the lead and lost the energy. Sonics dominated the quarter, but only at it’s end, Magic were able to make a 8-0 run, to cut down Sonics’ lead a little.
Orlando was playing with it’s star Dwight Howard at the beginning of the quarter and they managed to achieve 10-0 run. But Howard, then quickly managed to collect two fouls and was out of the game. Hedo was left with Jameer to save the lead and pull the team for the victory, but Ray Allen stopped them. He scored 16 points in the last period(2 three pointers) and got Sonics a beautiful victory. Magic’s defense was desperate against Sonics and without any bench help they had to give up.

Don't worry about this loss

Turkoglu plyed very well

Keep it up man!!!

[Sacke12]

Tough loss, Allen and Lewis was on fire, not so much to do about it I guess.
Turkolglu played great, but Nelson really had an "off"-game.

Btw, the "Box Scores"-score is wrong. It says that you won.

Good luck!!

[Martti.]

Nice to see Redick seeing some minutes.. Allen killed you.. And Fortson off the bench with the boards..

The exact same trade happen' in my Wizards dynasty.. Get ready for Lewis-Gasol deal..

[TheMC5]

Man, AK47 on the Warriors? That's insane. That could give them one of the best starting 5's in the league with Biedrins - Harrington - Kirilenko - Jackson - Davis. Such a good balance of offense and defense, and then with Ellis, Barnes, and Pietrus off the bench that is one hell of a team. Hope you get to play Golden State soon, I'd love to see that game.

ditto man! i love GState and can't wait for that matchup; should be great even without the '08 rookies (Belinelli/Wright/Lasme)

[McDwyane]

interesting dynasty man

[k-d]

Nice to see you back Pursuer

[Marquis]

One of these common deals, but this deal seems to be very good everytime, because Kirilenko imo is such a good fit in Golden State. J-Rich coming to Jazz gives them depth at SG.

[Its_asdf]

It seems like Kirilenko is always being shopped around by Utah (he was traded in my dynasty as well). Poor guy.

You seem to like to use Turkey Glue a lot on offence. His height is pretty abusive in game too, but I think that you should trade him if you feel like you can get more depth out of him in a deal.
