    Nicely said! Not sure about Obama and the tyranny thing, but everything else I agree with wholeheartedly. I love the part about Trump being the Alpha dog. It sure beats Clinton and her hope for a New World Order. P.S. Take it easy, dude. This is the last post from me on this forum. Go Magic! Just a regular Magic fan signing off... ...[beep]

    Thumbs up! I have been a member of many message boards. Mostly to talk NFL football. This is the first, and probably last basketball forum I will join. I don't know if it is a basketball thing or not, but people aren't interested in building relationships and embracing our common bond, the Magic. They just want to prove to the world just how smart they are ( or think they are). That's cool. I can usually agree to disagree on things. I don't claim to know it all. I wouldn't want to. However, to each their own and as you said, it's not worth it. I am pulling chocks on this one. Cya! P.S. Go, Trump! Let's beat this virus, get people well, and get our economy back on track!

    Same to you, dude! Hope all is well, way over there, in your neck of the woods, too.

    Yeah? How so? What are they going to learn that is detrimental to society?

    Yep. While not perfect, there are a lot of good things about our military, especially for our young people who need a good start in life.

    Considering what we have seen these last 3 years, I don't believe a damn thing from the agenda-driven media. It's propaganda.

    Hopefully, these new quicker tests will help. The goal is to have these ready by the end of the month. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-issues-first-emergency-use-authorization-point-care-diagnostic

    I am one of those in the older category. I am not panicking, but I am definitely going to be vigilant. If I feel something like the flu coming on, I am staying home and then calling Cigna's Ask Doctor to ask where I can get tested (hopefully for free). I work with the public, and my wife's a teacher. I wouldn't want to get anyone else infected. Because of allergies, I have become susceptible to bronchitis, so hopefully, it won't take me down if I get it. Glad I have life insurance. :-)

    Magic vs Grizzlies - Tuesday, March 10th @ 8:00 P.M.

    I only hope that WeltHam can see that we just need to move on from him. Nothing against him personally. Nice guy. He's just not a good fit for our team. On a different note: MCW is really coming on, isn’t he? 20 points, scrappy defense. Love it!

    That's cool. My apologies. I may have misunderstood. I thought you were down on him because you didn't think he had the IT factor. I was just pointing out that I think he will show more of it in time. With me, I think it is more important for all of us to actually have a discussion. I am just a regular guy who has a lot to learn when it comes to basketball. I value all positive input.

    With respect, I am not sure why you are busting on Fultz. Considering what he has been through, I think he has come a long way. Recently on the Orlando Magic Pod Squad, AG called Fultz a point god. Those guys know who can play or not, so to me that is heaping a lot of praise on the young guy. It's clear the guy has some skill, plus Fultz is only 21 (Murray is 23) and he hasn't really played one complete season. I think he has sort of hit a wall because this is the most playing time he has had since coming in the NBA. I think he just needs some time and after he gets a complete summer to work on his game, I am confident he will have a breakout season next year. It also wouldn't hurt if he had some better players around him either, so maybe WelHam can do something with that.

    This team sure is frustrating, however, I don’t think there is an easy fix. At this point, I am not even sure we could say that they are underachieving. If our guys ( Fultz, AG and JI, if healthy) getting playoff experience wasn’t so important, I would hope for our young guys like Bamba, Iwundu, and Frazier to start getting the major minutes and see if they can develop. I need something to look forward to when I watch our games.

    Thanks for clarifying that. I think what gets confusing for inexperienced fans like me is when I listen to AG on a pod squad podcast, and he says things like he is really trying to embrace being a power forward. I grew up watching guys like Karl Malone and Horace Grant, and when I think of power forward, I can't seem to get those playing styles out of my head. I am starting to see the forward spots as more interchangeable, but it's been a slow process because, as a ball watcher, I don't know what to look for. :-)

    Magic vs Timberwolves - Friday, February 28 @ 7:00 P.M.

    Nice win (again)! A triple-double for AG! Glad he is letting the game come to him instead of forcing it. We may have trouble scoring against the top defensive teams, but who knows what we can do with our guys playing team basketball and the confidence we get from stringing together some wins.

    I was thinking to myself the other day that since it seems like AG starts raining in 3's in the 4th that maybe if AG ran about 100 wind sprints before a game, it would help him settle in faster (j/k). He has so much energy and stamina that it seems like his shots fall more easily when he is a little winded. Seriously, though, his shot seems to be more consistent throughout the game, lately, and he's playing like we all hoped he eventually would. I hope he keeps it up because I don't really want us to trade him this off-season.

    Magic @ Hawks - Wednesday, Feb. 26th at 7:30 P.M.

    Nice win! Glad to see we moved the ball, and everyone played well, but what I liked the most is seeing AG and Bamba continue to improve these last couple of games. What did we have, 9 blocked shots? Love it!

    Magic @ Nets - Monday, Feb. 24th at 7:30 P.M.

    Nice win. Can't wait for Wednesday to see if we can get on a roll like last year. One game at a time. Build momentum and then hopefully we peak in the playoffs.

    Magic Vs. Mavericks - Friday, February 21st at 7:00 P.M.

    I still support this team and all that, but I think the toughest thing for me is that after a fairly long break we didn't show any signs of improvement.

    So glad that we finally have some Magic B-Ball to watch. :-)

    Do you think Coach Cliff will tweak anything during our long break or let things ride for the rest of the season? Or, maybe I should ask, is there anything you would like Coach Cliff to tweak, and if so, what?

    I didn't see it. It totally sucks he got robbed again, but I am looking forward to watching AG's dunks on youtube. From the sounds of it, he did even better than last time, which surprises me because I never thought there would be a better dunk than the one where he jumps over Stuff (my avatar). That's just crazy athletic!

    I am guessing it's because of Fultz.
