What is this shit? If you are a fan of a team, you are not allowed to point out their deficiencies? One of the advantages of being very familiar with a team is knowing their personnel very well. And being able to use that knowledge to your handicapping advantage. And you must put aside team loyalty when cappong. I want "my team" to win a title and both of their guards are substandard. That will make it very difficult to achieve that goal. But I am going to be honest about their weaknesses. I have done my best when capping games involving "my teams" because I can do that.
The Detroit guards have dominated Nelson since he joined the Magic, and will do so again.
Does that mean the Magic can't win? Absolutely not. What it does mean is the Magic will have a hard time matching up with Billups and Hamilton...as they always have. And someone else will have to slid over to help Nelson out, leaving some other Detroit player open. That is what happens to other teams when they have to help defend Howard.
I have not made up my mind on the game yet but will do so tomorrow.

lol...of course you are...I think we all do plenty of dogging our favourite teams here! lol. Sorry dude...didn't mean to offend, was more just having fun with you after the muchkin's greats series against Toronto, and reading your subesquent knocking of him. I agree'd with your theory on him having more trouble against Detroit's biggers guards...I thought that was evident. And I do think alot of people think Ford is a good PG, IMO. We'll see what he gets in a trade in the offseason.
Oh...and GL UD!
