Charlotte Bobcats (2-6) at Orlando Magic (6-3)

The Magic are off to a fast start and are actually leading the Southeast division.
The marquee matchup is Dwight Howard -vs- Emeka Okafor. They are tied at 3rd in the league in rebounding at 12.2 and Emeka is leading the league in rebounding.

I think the Magic\'s record is a little bloated. They aren\'t as good as their record.
The Bobcats will get a win tonight.

I agree, that their record is definitely bloated. THey have, of course, beaten teams we couldn\'t(Boston, Denver, Seattle, Washington)

I\'m stoked for the rematch of the Howard-Okafor preseason where Howard dominated and made Okafor look feeble. I\'m ready for revenge - a dominating block, and a dunk on his head :P

I think we\'ll have trouble containing Grant Hill just like we did Peja.

Morrison should be able to drain 3\'s, and he\'ll need to.

This game I\'m gonna say we\'re gonna have to rely on Morrison and Wallace. Okafor will have the tough matchup and should produce, but they should dominate. May should also contrubute..we have better big men with the exception of Mr. Howard.

Howard-Okafor matchup is marquee, but other matchups will decide on the winner. For example, Trkoğlu-Morrison, Nelson-Felton matchups.

We should have a good atmosphere right now, and we can do it. Bobcats have a legitimate chance to make it 3-6.

Where is Knight? On Nba.com he\'s not even listed in the boxscore, as if he got deactivated.

I see. Well I just joined for that, I didn\'t see it on ESPN or anywhere. What is it like to be Bobcats fans?

It would be great if we had a real coach, but Bernie Bickerstaff\'s goofy rotations are driving the fans crazy.

Also, They interviewed Brevin and he said that he will play on Monday.

I think I only watched a Bobcats game once, when they played us (us being the Sixers). Of course, you have a brighter future than we do... just don\'t get your hopes up thinking Okafor or Morrison will ever be franchise players. (Though it\'s nice to see Okafor\'s shot-blocking finally translating to the pros.)

I\'d take Maurice Cheeks over Bernie Bickerstaff 7 days a week though.

friggin 2-7... We have better than 2-7 talent on this team. Something has to change... and it has to happen SOON.

I can understand Morrison not necessarily being a franchise player, but I don\'t think I\'d hear many teams complain to have Okafor as a cornerstone to their franchise.

A big man who plays mad defense and can drop 20 pts on you is classified as a franchise player.

How about allowing Wallace to drive the lane...not having him settle for 6 out of his 10 shots be treys. He\'s a HORRIBLE 3 shooter, as evidenced by his 0-6 threes tonight. If he was just allowed to continuously dunk like last year it\'d be brilliant. Morrison and Felton cover the outside with Felton able to drive, and Wallace is the slasher they need. Their inside men can certainly do the job. What\'s the problem with allowing his team to have poor shot selection?

1-17 on threes? Rubbish. THis team is so quick we should be able to run and gun it all day.
