Comments on: Sixers vs. Orlando Playoff Series: Match-ups http://www.reclinergm.com/sixers-vs-orlando-playoff-series-match-ups/ Philly sports blog for diehard Sixers & Phillies fans Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:49:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dannie http://www.reclinergm.com/sixers-vs-orlando-playoff-series-match-ups/#comment-15006 Dannie Sun, 19 Apr 2009 21:34:19 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=5435#comment-15006 <strong><em>Suede </em></strong>- Marshall should play some and I would strategically get him in the game if and when the Magic play a bigger line-up (i.e. Tony Battie is playing power forward.)  For one Battie is more of a spot up shooter that isn't going to dribble drive like Lewis so Marshall is not liability defensively.  And Battie or any other big will tend to drift inside defensively opening things up for Marshall behind the arc. We'll see what Dileo is made of in this series as well.

I would most likely switch back and forth between commercials to get the most perspectives as possible.  I like to be able to see what different people have to say about my team.  But I know when the Sixers are away, and I hear the other team's announcers, it just makes me mad.  The hometown announcers are biased a lot of the time and I can't stand to hear them talk.  Or at least the Bobcat's announcers are horribly biased towards the Bobcats.

Great post.  I tried my best on the other playoff topic to analyze the match-ups but you gave it a nice perspective.  Will you be attending any playoff games?  Well, it's almost gametime.  Exciting stuff.

Is it possible if you can post what ESPN said? What I love about the playoffs is that players you least expect can come through in a game or perhaps a series. (ex: Rush hitting 6 threes while playing with the Lakers).  But our best sharpshooters are from the bench and could make a difference given the right minutes.  Intriguing, isn't it?  Dannie, I don’t have Insider.

  1. In the playoffs the bench plays less minutes.
  2. You lean more heavily on your key players to produce in the playoffs.

ESPN actually did an analysis on just this. (need insider)

The other difference could be: THE BENCH. Lou Williams and Marresse Speights MUST have coming out parties.  The two guys to beware of coming off the bench for the Magic are: -Tony Battie -Mickael Pietrus The Sixers wild card is the rest of the bench where they need Royal Ivey, Donyell Marshall, and Kareem Rush for the perimeter shots.  The Magic are going to play zone on us. GO SIXERS!!!  GET THIS ONE!! Great post Dannie, completely unbiased there!!
