Spurs @ Magic 12/23

**CHAZ** · 12-23-10, 10:55 AM

I'm thinking Magic gets there first win tonight. Now I just sit and wait for the public to pound the Spurs.

Who cares about the square play. Who cares about the sharp play. I know I don't. Everyone seems to think they know the difference or that they are so "sharp" but thats why theres hardly any cappers in this forum that can stay above 50% over a period of time.

Can you explain why they will get the win? I cannot make an argument for Orlando against the 25-3 Spurs, and I would love to hear someone's reasoning behind backing them. Thanks

Leaning Under..

Given that the home court advantage is normally 3-4 pts. If the Spurs are getting 3 ,then that would mean that these 2 teams are pretty much even, however their records indicate otherwise.IMO this seams too good to be true,I would either pass or take Orlando.

Spurs have been playing with fire lately having to make these come from behind wins and some even hard fought ones on the current streak they got going. Plus, a back to back could be tough on the aged players(Ginobili, Parker and Duncan). The Magic should be starting to gel. They held a 2 hour practice yesterday to bring the new comers up to speed and I think once Arenas, Richardson, and Turkoglu get there they are gonna be pretty damn good.

I haven't played it yet, but if it gets driven down much farther I'll jump on it.

Good luck to everyone tonight.

**MizzouBuck** · 12-23-10, 11:43 AM

Even if the Magic do cover I can't see how it is a good play to take Orlando giving points against the team with the best record in the NBA when one team has won 10 in a row and one team has lost eight of nine.

**pstaff1989** · 12-23-10, 12:23 PM

Yeah this may be the last time San An catches points on the road for a long time. We seem to be forgetting to mention that this a team of champions, coached by a champion. They are winning nearly .90% of the games they play SU, and they are catching 3 points against a team who had a 2 hour practice yesterday because they need to gel. Look @ Miami, even an entire off-season couldn't gel them together quickly. With Dwight getting the ball down low every possession, it's going to take this Magic team longer than half of a week

**jetsjets1028** · 12-23-10, 12:26 PM

deff spurs win magic blow if they win a game hopefuilly itll be vs celts on christmas day

**mtbaker** · 12-23-10, 12:34 PM

interesting game, I would lean spurs

**bretb27** · 12-23-10, 12:35 PM

Spurs ML. This orlando team isn't even close to where they need to be, I really feel that they're a worse team after all the trades. San An has a couple players that are a nightmare to guard and at the end of the day the Magic are pretty much a chick with a great body but an ugly ass face lol.

**pronk** · 12-23-10, 12:35 PM

Fellas, Spurs are gonna get raped and embarrassed tonight by Orlando.

Orlando 115
Spurs 91

Deal with it

i like spurs tonight. BOL to everyone.

**dngf** · 12-23-10, 12:55 PM

Duncan only played 27 minutes, so to me that mitigates to some extent the Spurs age and the b2b. Seems like the overwhelming majority are on the Spurs though. But it is hard not to take the best team in the league right now vs a team that is 2-8 for their last 10.

**marcoloco** · 12-23-10, 01:05 PM

spurs look like the right play

**acarmelo1** · 12-23-10, 01:23 PM

I am gonna fade you all and take Orlando MUAHAHAHA

I think the Spurs are the right play but your logic is a bit flawed. Even a new Miami team blew out Orlando early in the season. Magic have the talent to do something like that, but i would not bet on it happening.

**WesJeffery** · 12-23-10, 01:50 PM

Spurs all the way baby

That Miami/Orlando series is a divisional rivalry, Spurs and Magic don't have bad blood

**demens** · 12-23-10, 02:07 PM

Any big game is a rivalry of its own. Spurs already beat the Magic this year too. I'm sure there will be plenty of bad blood.

And why is it the play

**hockeynut** · 12-23-10, 02:45 PM

I think the best play will be the Under.

Dont have much time so my explanation will be short, if you dont mind. Spurs have had a lot of things go their our way during the past couple of games. Yesterday's game was an example. Nuggets could not close the game out without Melo and the Spurs being a great team took advantage of it. They travel, on short rest, lose an hour to EST, vs a very underachieving Magic team who is still very talented at home and I hate to say this - they are due. Ive been very impressed with the Spurs play but they havent been lights out. They;ve bene in a lot of close battles and yesterdays game was a sign that a loss is coming soon. If it happens, it happens tonight. Add that to the fact that Vegas is DARING you to Orlando. This is as square as it gets. Hope im wrong though

**Konkss** · 12-23-10, 04:16 PM

it will be a easy win for the spurs

**demens** · 12-23-10, 04:22 PM

Another interesting stat i found.

Spurs are 3-0 as dogs this year
Magic are 1-7 as 3 point favs or less (including being a dog).

Both ATS and SU.
