Amazing first half for the Magic. They've been playing really well and I really like the shooting selection by Arenas. Dwight Howard has to be careful with the fouls though. He's making too much of them right now. It's funny to see the Spurs trying to get this third foul on him

Dude...showing some improvements in your posting. Good stuff, man. We like to raise our members into basketball analysts, if you haven't noticed by now. :lol:

 

It's weird seeing the Spurs trying to score over playing that gritty defense they've been infamous for over the last decade. As Reggie was saying (I think it was Reggie, maybe it was Kevin), it's important that the Spurs can go back to that defensive stand in the playoffs. They are a different team right now, probably the best offensive team in the league and around 10th in total defense, but they don't want to get too used to running that score up and not reserving energy for the defensive end.

LOL, Splitter fouled the hell out of Howard there. Very evident on the replay.

 

Spurs need a couple of stops. This is what I was talking about, lol...can't outscore a hot team. Orlando brought in guys like Arenas, Richardson and Turk so they could score more points (middle of the league in scoring), and their defense is taken care of by having Howard in the paint. The Spurs can't keep trying to outscore their opponents without getting critical stops.

Brandon Bass has a pretty midrange game. Alot of people said spacing would be a major issue for the Magic with the trade of Shard, but it doesn't seem like a concern to me. The new starting five for the Magic is more lethal offensively and better defensively with Bass at the 4. Bass will get the looks and he seems pretty comfortable shooting that 15 footer.
