ATL vs. ORL - GM6 Sponsored by "The Ill-Advised Shot"

[NewJerSpur]

If it goes back to Orlando, this series is over......I mean, either way it's over (last game), but it favors the Magic. :lol

:king

[SourCandy]

For some reason I ignored this series. I haven't seen any game of this series. I just assumed the magic would win. I never really payed attention to the hawks. My effin bad.

Not your bad. This series just sucks and plain boring to watch.

Even now when things are sort of interesting, its just meh.

[NewJerSpur]

Most of the nation has, that's why it's on NBA TV, LOL......that and the b-ball IQ and shot selection has been bad, but there's been a few good ones sprinkled in. The most entertaining game was probably "the brawl" when Crawford hit that crazy banker and ZaZa and J-Rioch got tossed. Be interesting to see if the Hawks are rattled or if Orlando just had some good homecooking in Game 5.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic wearing black=good sign

[IronMexican]

Seems like the boringest non Finals(SA vs Cle) series since New Jersey vs Cleveland some years back.

[TE]

Instead of watching the game, I will rely on your stout game by game analysis, NewJerSpur, don't disappoint.

[NewJerSpur]

More Josh Smith in the post please.

[NewJerSpur]

No way Heinrich doesn't win this jump with Dwight.....no way.

[NewJerSpur]

Brandon Bass elbow jumper=McDyess elbow jumper

[NewJerSpur]

Hedo can't struggle like this if the Magic make it to the 2nd round.

[NewJerSpur]

More 3's from Josh please.

[NewJerSpur]

Howard with the Timmy D bank out this mofo....finally developing some sort of jumper, with range at that.

[NewJerSpur]

More post up hooks by Josh Smith please.

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta doesn't look as loose as they were in games 3 and 4 when so many of the crazy shots were dropping, but they're playing good post defense helping on Dwight.

[NewJerSpur]

Man Turk is playing like hot garbage.....missing 3's is acceptable, but point-blank layups with hardly anyone around you?!

[NewJerSpur]

Shouldn't count.....good defense by Orlando.

[NewJerSpur]

Hinrich has been raking this series.

[NewJerSpur]

Vintage Magic offense.

[Reck]

Howard looking like he's just cruising. I think in his mind, he's not a Magic anymore.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic defense finally waking up for the playoffs.

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight's going to punish Zaza if dude keeps up his Anderson Varejao act.

[Jodelo]

Pachulia, great!

And Hinrich has been good the whole series!

[NewJerSpur]

Howard looking like he's just cruising. I think in his mind, he's not a Magic anymore.

I think it depends on what they do in the offseason leading up to the trade deadline. If they pickup CP3, for instance, I think he stays.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass by Joe Johnson and good job of sticking with the play.

[NewJerSpur]

Good defense by the Hawks, bad shot by JJ.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk might need to retire after this season.

[NewJerSpur]

JJ getting the stroke going.

[NewJerSpur]

Here we go with these 4-point plays.....didn't even look like a foul, but meh. I don't blame Ryan for the tech, looked bogus.

[hitmanyr2k]

How many fuckin times is this dude gonna get fouled on a 3 point shot?

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks starting to make their longrange jumpers.

[NewJerSpur]

How many fuckin times is this dude gonna get fouled on a 3 point shot?

I think he owns the record, seriously....and his rep earned him the call that time imo.

[hitmanyr2k]

I think someone said in Game 4 that he owns the most 4 point plays in NBA history. I believe it.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic playing good defense at the rim, but can't secure the looseballs and are throwing the ball away on offense.

[NewJerSpur]

Dennis Scott sticking up for a fellow shooter....that was not a foul on Crawford's 3.

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like Horford got bumped out of bounds, but I'll take it.

[NewJerSpur]

Bass letting Joe Johnson get an easy tip in.

[hitmanyr2k]

I don't know why Josh Smith always relies on the jumper when he can jump out of the gym.

[NewJerSpur]

Hinrich & Crawford=Co MVP's of the 1st Round.....if such a thing exists. Magic need to look into trading for CP3 in the offseason. I like Jameer, but Dwight needs someone who will try to consistently and creatively get him the rock. I don't think Paul's staying in NO.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Magic are playing like they have their bags packed.

[NewJerSpur]

I don't know why Josh Smith always relies on the jumper when he can jump out of the gym.

He hasn't gotten the right coaching/mentoring to hold him accountable imo for the dumb plays on offense and he thinks he's more skilled than he is athletic. If he focused more on shotblocking (which he's GREAT at) and rebounding and just getting buckets here and there he'd be more productive overall instead of trying to be a 20 point scorer.....they have enough guys on the team that can fill it up.

[NewJerSpur]

Please retire Turk......please bench him Stan.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk forgos the reverse layup, backs it out and decides to shoot a fasdeaway over a 7-footer.....good choice.

[NewJerSpur]

Zaza with the no-call.

[NewJerSpur]

How do you get boo'ed so badly in your own hometown, lol?

[NewJerSpur]

Magic need to no let this lead get to 10 by the half and need to rebound MUCH better.

[NewJerSpur]

All these jumpshots.....:bang

[NewJerSpur]

Man, Hilton Armstrong's been hitting the weightroom, dude looks yoked.

[hitmanyr2k]

These are two shot-jacking teams. Their offense doesn't seem to have any reason to it. After the Bulls went through a physical series where they were getting beat up they should find the Magic or Hawks pretty tame in comparison.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk with the momentum changer.

Coach Thibs in the film room: :hungry:

[NewJerSpur]

Man, that's some ugly offense.

[NewJerSpur]

Good decision to double Crawford, no way he was giving the ball up there.

[hitmanyr2k]

I think it's time for Stan Van Gundy and Mike D'Antoni to be taken out back and shot. I would be shocked if either were coaching the same teams next year.

[NewJerSpur]

I think it's time for Stan Van Gundy and Mike D'Antoni to be taken out back and shot. I would be shocked if either were coaching the same teams next year.

I doubt it as well, at least all the way through the season. Stan isn't getting much out of the team anymore and they seem to be regressing....Mike had the team he has been working to rebuild for the last few years in NY stolen from him with 1 trade, now it's out of his hands imo.

Orlando MUST find a way to get CP3 in order to keep Dwight.

[NewJerSpur]

Go time.

[NewJerSpur]

Looked like a weak tech and a flop.

[NewJerSpur]

Josh Smith directing traffic.

[NewJerSpur]

Jameer and Turk=stalling the offense

[NewJerSpur]

Great defense by Horford, nice job of exploiting the Magic in transition by Joe J.

[NewJerSpur]

Sloopy play. Magic need to get back to moving the ball and the misdirection plays.

[NewJerSpur]

Finally, some ball movement by Orlando instead of one-on-one jackups.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic with only 7 points in the quarter but down by 6.

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta has some hotties.

Thus the problem with the Magic, you go on a fastbreak and instead of driving or pulling it back out when Atlanta settles you jackup a 3.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk with the leaning 3 should help to get his offense going......and sink the rest of the team in the process.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk finding his shot.

[NewJerSpur]

Today's NBA:

playoff foul=flagrant

[NewJerSpur]

Should be a flagrant on Zaza, the way they're calling the game.

[Reck]

The Magic players are a bunch of emotionally unstable retards.

[NewJerSpur]

THANK YOU, a flagrant on the Hawks.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice play by Crawford, good double by Atlanta.

[NewJerSpur]

Anderson walked, but I'll take the phantom foul.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn nice hook by Horford, his offense has grown in leaps.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic transition defense is trash.

[NewJerSpur]

Can't afford to turn the ball over in the 4th, season's on the line.

[NewJerSpur]

Hinrich was a good acquistion for the Hawks.

[NewJerSpur]

Arenas needs to go Game 4 Arenas out this mofo.

[DMC]

How do the Magic lose to a team that plays one on one ball 80% of the time?

JJ Redick should be able to shoot them back into it. They should pass the ball to him and he should shoot where ever he may be on the floor at the time.

[NewJerSpur]

JJ with the hops.

[KidCongo]

This is awesome.

They're playing into the Hawks hands with the fastbreak fueling long jumpers/long rebounds and seem to be playing the same brand of offense the Hawks are playing...difference is, the Hawks are back at home where the crazy shots fall.

Magic NEED CP3 to keep Dwight in Orlando.

[NewJerSpur]

This is awesome.

Revenge is a dish best served cold my friend, and I know you and JoeTait are getting yours. :toast

Game not over yet though....

[NewJerSpur]

Hedo at least showing up for what could be his last game with the Magic.

[KidCongo]

Revenge is a dish best served cold my friend, and I know you and JoeTait are getting yours. :toast

Game not over yet though....

Seeing the Magic lose is damn satisfying.

Howard is throwing it down. he's going to break a rim soon.

JJ's gotta keep being the closer here.

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks can't miss, magic need stops to get back in this game though it's good to FINALLY see them play with some urgency......can't trade baskets with the Hawks who are milking the clock on most possessions, especially on the road, or you'll run out of time and get run out of the gym.

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight going into "save the season" beastmode.

[NewJerSpur]

Still chucking 3's with Dwight getting hot, smh.

[NewJerSpur]

Why did it take the Magic this long to decide to get their best player involved.....this is why they need CP3 (no, I can't say it enough).

[NewJerSpur]

Game on.

[NewJerSpur]

This is what execution on offense gets you.

[NewJerSpur]

Good call.

[NewJerSpur]

Good defense by Nelson on Joe J.....looked like that was out on the Hawks.

[NewJerSpur]

Go after Hinrich if he's hurt.

[HarlemHeat37]

I got the Hawks at +2, my biggest non-Spurs bet in the playoffs, so far, don't fuck this up..

[NewJerSpur]

Harlem out this mofo.

[NewJerSpur]

Game on the line, get it to josh Smith....Atlanta still getting the keyboards when needed.

[NewJerSpur]

1 time Dwight.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn.

[NewJerSpur]

Joe Johnson squatting on Orlando's defense.....nelson fighting for the rebound.

[NewJerSpur]

Gilbert Arenas.

[resistanze]

Both teams are ugly as shit.

[NewJerSpur]

Smart move by Nelson NOT chucking a 3 and going for the drive with the Hawks scrambling in transition.

[Spur-Addict]

Orlando LUCKY Kirk went down.

[NewJerSpur]

Orlando LUCKY Kirk went down.

:tu

Probably would've taken a sensible shot that would've put it further out of reach.

[Spur-Addict]

Kirk would have played tight D on Jameer on both possessions.

[NewJerSpur]

Defense.

[Spur-Addict]

Big O board. Like I always say, they're killers.

[resistanze]

LMAO Magic

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks long jumper saved them with a long rebound.....can't believe Williams was THAT open in the corner.

[NewJerSpur]

Hopefully the Magic watched the spurs last night....DON'T......CHUCK......A......3!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Only guy that SHOULD shoot a 3 if they do should be J-Rich, but I don't advise it.

[NewJerSpur]

Stepped out of bounds.

[Red Hawk #21]

Just one more stop, Hawks...

[Spur-Addict]

Excellent screen by Dwight

[resistanze]

Can't ask for a better shot. Fail.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Of coure it was excellent. He was moving and Atlanta didn't even try to follow Reddick. Some HORRIBLE defense.

[DPG21920]

Richardson.

[NewJerSpur]

Season right here...earn your money.

[Nick, the Nazi]

wow, 1.8 s again??

[NewJerSpur]

Time to campaign for Cp3.

[DPG21920]

Should have pump faked him.

[Reck]

That's the difference between the Spurs and and the Magic. :lol

[san antonio spurs]

what kind of shot was that? Poor pass by Hedo

[Spur-Addict]

Great D. ATL earned it. "See you in the second round, FROM THE COUCH". Good job Jameer, Kirk gave you shit the whole series, and Crawford destroyed you.

[Budkin]

Fuck!

[NewJerSpur]

Should have pump faked him.

Don't know if he had enough time to do that and get off a shot, unless he went up a drew a foul which would've been smart.

[DPG21920]

He would have had a wide open shot had he not slipped. He had plenty of time, he should have given him a fake.

[Spur-Addict]

Actually, he didn't move bro. Rewind the footage.

[Red Hawk #21]

:) Nothin like some revenge

[InRareForm]

How hurt is heinrich?

[DPG21920]

Don't know if he had enough time to do that and get off a shot, unless he went up a drew a foul which would've been smart.

He had plenty of time IMO. The buzzer didn't sound until after the shot bounced off the rim.

[Spur-Addict]

The only movement on that screen was when Crawford was trying to fight through it.

[Budkin]

Bulls are going to sweep.

[Hoops Czar]

Bye Bye Van Gundy.

[NewJerSpur]

How hurt is heinrich?

Re-injured an already existing injury iirc. They said he would've been out for Game 6.

[peskypesky]

if you need a last second 3, why is Hedo inbounding? I don't get that. isn't he a 3-pt shooter?

[peskypesky]

Bye Bye Van Gundy.

he's just not a good coach. a good assistant coach, yeah, but not a head coach.

[peskypesky]

Bulls are going to sweep.

doubt it

[Nick, the Nazi]

Bye Bye Van Gundy.


Bye Bye Dwight.

[Red Hawk #21]

Bulls are going to sweep.

Nope.

[NewJerSpur]

He had plenty of time IMO. The buzzer didn't sound until after the shot bounced off the rim.

You're right in terms of the time, but the pumpfake wouldn't have gotten him a better shot because of where he was thanks to Turks' pass.....jumping into Smith would've been a good idea off of the pompfake imo though.


Bulls are going to sweep.

Easily I think, but props to the Hawks for beating the "big bully on the block"....and I don't mean that in terms of Orlando's physical prowess, but because of how they ravaged the Hawks in the playoffs recently. Atlanta stepped up. :toast

[Nick, the Nazi]

Bulls are going to sweep.


Didn't the Hawks and the Bulls have that crazy playoff series last year when they played like 12 overtimes or sth like that?

[NewJerSpur]

:) Nothin like some revenge

:toast

[NewJerSpur]

If Hinrich is hurt, it's going to make Atlanta's offense even less disciplined.

Jameer out......CP3 IN.

[Budkin]

I hope Otis and Van Grundy get their asses fired... wasting Dwight's prime years. Unless a miracle happens, he's NJ bound.

[Red Hawk #21]

lol "We'll catch you in the 2nd round"

I would love CP3 on the Magic!

tee hee:lol

[Cane]

Major props to the Hawks and their fans tbh. The Orlando Magic were such a dominant mismatch in the past few years and they really turned things around while getting a ton of shit from the media especially Joe Johnson.

Dwight should join the team of his hometown somehow tbh ;)

[Spur-Addict]

I would love CP3 on the Magic!

Why would you want that? It would be hell for the rest of the league.

[NewJerSpur]

They wouldn't get him the ball either and he'd be even more frustrated being shown up playing at home.....but I'm not going to lie, if that did happen with all of their talent :wow.

[LkrFan]

Tracy McGrady-esque. :lol
