I'm not only worried about Mo Williams. We all know that Michael Redd can pick us apart also because he's an excellent shooter. Hopefully Bogans and Evans can contain him.

Now watch us go win all our road games this month.

ESPN has christened Dwight Howard the most dominant center in the game.

Well i put the "player to watch" as Mo Williams because we all know Redd can score thats obvious.

Good that we are back on the road were we are playing better basketball.

Just hoping MME did not jinx us with that "sucking on the road" comment....

Just kidding MME!

Go Magic!!

Haha that was just an accident lol

I wasn't saying it like that. Everytime Redd plays us he does well. Hopefully we can contain him.

Redd plays well just about every game, hes a star, so thats a given. But yeah he will probably go off for 25 or 30, lets just hope Kebo can stick close to him.

I would really like SVG to tell Bogans to just play defense this game, and stay away from shooting 7+ three-pointers. He's taking way too many shots, in my opinion. What I'd prefer is to keep Bogans/Evans on Redd whenever Redd is in the game, and when Redd comes out, bring in JJ and let him shoot.

I dont think Bogans takes too many shots. Its not like they run plays for him its just when the ball gets passed around and he gets a good look or an open shot he takes it. Hes an improved 3 pt shooter and he really helps space the floor and get good shots from the corners with his 3pt ability. So to me, hes not taking too many shots, because he takes those shots when he needs to or has an open shot.

I don't have any problems with Bogans shooting either. He is not forcing it, most of the 3s he shoot are open shots. If he doesn't take it I'm sure SVG will be upset.

What I do mind is Dwight not getting enough touches down low. I think it should be inside-outside, not the other way around. On several occasions Dwight got his man sealed but the guards failed to hit him. There should be more emphasis on passing to the post - work on angles to get Dwight more touches.

The D has also slipped the past couple of games. The guys are slow in closing in on the shooters.

Theres another statement that could jinx us! hahah...NOOOOOOO

I can see where you're coming from, and we're all entiteled to our opinions, but I would just rather see Bogans cut it down to 4 three pointers a game, instead of 8 or 9. I'd prefer to see those 4 shots go to Howard, Lewis, or Turk. It's not that Bogans shots aren't open, I'd just like to see us look for a higher percentage shot sometimes. Work it down to Dwight instead of Bogans taking so many 3s.

Yeah you make a good point... but alot of the time when we need a big basket or a shot to get back in the lead, its Bogans who hits the 3.

Yeah, you're right. He's been a very clutch shooter for us this year...
