Stan Van Gundy talked today about the possibility of Hedo Turkoglu playing more of a tall point guard role, a la Magic Johnson, in the upcoming games and the playoffs. It adds an extra "element", as Van Gundy pointed out. Even from the beginning of this season, Turkoglu has had the ball in his hands every game. He frequently would handle the ball and take it up the court.
Van Gundy, though, won't be changing the offense or the lineup any time soon. He will though put him at the point in certain situations. The problem is that Hedo can't match up well defensively with quicker point guards. Although Brian Schmitz does want to see Turk match up with Jose Calderon to try to slow him. Van Gundy (and you can probably include Otis) wont bench Nelson anytime soon in favor of the 6'10" Hedo Turkoglu.
Bosh is definitley out for Tuesday's rivalry game with the Raptors. The Magic are smiling at this because Bosh torched us for 40 points last month. Rasho Nesterovic is replacing Bosh in the starting lineup.
The Magic have an 8 game lead on the Southeast Division. The Magic have only 8 road games left.
