Heyyyyyyyy worrrrrrld!!! If you guys watched last night’s game in Denver you know how I’m feeling today. I went from a great night in Sacramento to a poor one in Denver. Those guys did a good job of mixing it up on me and they have some of the best post defenders in the league there in Denver.
But that second half was kind of embarrassing because it was almost like we stopped playing when we turned the ball over and they started making shots. We have to learn to fight harder through that stuff.
That was one of the toughest back-to-backs in the league by playing in Sacramento, then flying three hours to Denver and losing an hour and then playing an elite team like the Nuggs. But we can’t be using that stuff as an excuse, especially if we’re a team that’s talking about winning a championship.
Man, what’s up with Chauncey Billups always having to kill the Magic? With Chauncey, man we’re supposed to be a part of The Brotherhood with adidas and he should give the Magic a game or two every now and then. I don’t know what it is about CB, but that cat always plays really good against us. Hopefully, we’ll see those guys in The Finals and he’ll be off his game next time.
People out West don’t wanna give them their props, but I see Denver as an elite team. I like the way they play. They give anybody matchup problems with their bigs and they really get the ball to ‘Melo and Chauncey. They are a tough team. I loved watching them play last season and I really thought we were going to see them in The Finals. Oh well, there’s always this year.
As for us, we’re still in this little offensive funk because teams are taking away our high-low plays and our ISO plays. I know this is gonna sound weird, but I actually like that everything is a little harder now for us and we’ve got to work for everything. Last year, we sorta caught people by surprise, but now they know what we want to do.
Trust me when I say it, but this little phase that we’re going through, it will just make us tougher in the long run. I truly believe that. We havde too much talent here and we’re a close team. It may take a while, but it will come for us. And when it does, we’ll be one of the league’s tightest teams again.
We actually get a day off in Portland today and I think that will be good for us. Five more days on this long trip and games against the Blazers and Lakers still to go. We’re hanging tough and hope you Magic fans back in Orlando and all over the country (and the world too!!!) will stick with us.
Peace out, ya’ll. Yuuuuuaaaaaa!!!!
