(although the 3 tier ticket pricing they did last year sucks- I should not be paying $25 for the cheapest seat for a regular season game when buying from the box office). now, the good seats are going way up. the $5 seats they have, I'm sure there will be a lot less of them than the current $10 seats and the view will be a lot worse. I'm sure the $15 & $25 your view will be a lot worse too just b/c how much bigger the new area will be.

Dwight was right. Cavs fans were really overreacting. All you need a GM willing to do what it takes and you can get back there in a few years. Just dont' sign a player in crutches. ha.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.c...ron.event/index.html I have to agree and thought he was more of a competitor too. He talks about being at this point in his career and all about winning. Lebron is just 25 years ago..Yes, they just lost in the playoffs but they won the most regular season games, that has to mean something. It means they aren't far away from winning it all (even w/ losing to the celtics) cavs were just one player away from being that team and Lebron goes and trashes his hometown on national tv..he is a joke and quitter. gave up when the going got tough.

I'm not going to any heat games. I haven't been going to any magic/heat games for awhile. Our home arena turns into a love fest for wade in the few I attended. It's going to be even worse now w/ lebron + bosh.

i think otis was correct in what he thought back in '07 about vince being fool's gold. don't know why he traded for him and praised his leadership abilities just 2 years later.

I don't like Vince either but his contract is a lot shorter. you do understand that if rashard's contract was taken off the books this very second, we still would not have the cap space to sign lebron or any max free agent....right? yeah of course you knew that. hell, if you take both rashard and vince off the books right now, we still would not have the ability to sign a max free agent. but of course it's easy for you to call otis an idiot when you are self are clueless. I like how you try to defend otis for Rashard's contract. Nothing anyone can say will convince me that was a good move on otis' part. and I guess its hard to come across on the internet but I was being sarcastic about going after Lebron..yes, I already knew it wouldn't be possible. I meant that for what Rashard is making, he should be Kobe Bryant or Lebron James out there.

To answer the original question. I don't think Dwight should get fined but I can see it happening. Even though I know Dwight doesn't write his blogs, he has someone else do it. (he has said this before)

2 types of fouls on dwight that I don't get - #1 dwight is trying to post up- you are taught to make a wide stance and put your ams up to make a big target for a pass. dwight puts his arms up and makes contact with the defender b/c he is fouling dwights back/reaching..and its a foul on dwight...its not like dwight is swinging back with his arms..he is just raising them to catch a pass- this is a foul on the defender.. #2 another player tangles their arms around dwights arms.. then when dwight tries to get an opponents arms off him, its a foul on dwight..makes no sense..

anyone know a possible first round schedule? I know before people were told in advance by ticket reps about possible playoff schedules - at least the days if not the times..

did you get anything for trying? free shirt?

the title is a little misleading..the nba itself isn't talking about it..as in david stern and other nba people..only certain team's staff..

I don't agree with the Jason Kidd ruling. Coaches are on the court all the time, techs aren't called. When Jason Kidd made contact, the coach was out of bounds. Since he was out of bounds and Jason Kidd ran into him, I think it should be out of bounds on Jason Kidd and the other teams ball.

tnt. fsn only comes on 1 tv and i'm not watching the game on that tv..

otis talking to portland was already mentioned in the press last summer..hedo is on a different team now so the fact that he isn't playing well for toronto should be in the all around nba section along w/ the courtney lee..carlos arroyo..and posts about other former magic players..

now lebron is jordan? the only time lebron has faced us in the playoffs, he lost..the only time he has been to the finals, cavs got swept..sure they have been great in the regular season but all you really need is lebron getting his, mo hitting a few 3s, and varejao flopping around like usual..shaq was a good pick up even at his age (just turned 38).. but i'm not fully convinced that he will fine when he comes back.. i think our team is more balanced and i like the fact that we dont have a guy averaging 20 shots a game..a lot of critics think dwight should be getting more shots..even though his offense has improved, he still brings the ball down instead of keeping it high & turns it over too much and his free throw shooting isn't great..we have too many good shooters and other players to have our offense be just 1 guy..

Ya ABC>580 ABC not one word Nice try though obviously you don't know what media is..580am radio is media..you are acting like this is an excuse and it just came out after the game..it fact that is a lie and it was reported before. it doesn't matter if i heard it on 580am, orlandosentinel.com, espn.com, or anything..its all media..

I dont get this comparison at all..of course it costs more to live in manhattan compared to maryland..this makes no sense..if anything its like getting a brand new house in the same exact area with a few extra bathrooms and some nice bells and whistles..and paying a ton more for it.. Have you ever gone to Amway and have you seen what the Amway Center will turn out to be? If anything, you're getting another floor added to your house, a huge screen TV and several other high def TVs in every room in the house along with... everything else better yes i realize this...but look at it this way.. are you going to be living in the new area? no..personally i don't think having extra luxuries such as better tvs, non sticky floor, extra are worth such a big increase in price for season tickets when you factor in that the magic will be making a ton more off having midlevel suites. all i'm there for is the game..as long as we have a good team and i have a seat..i'm ok..i even like going to games now and sitting in the cheap seats..the view doesnt bother me.

jameer has been playing great but he still dribbles around too much. often he dribbles away half the shot clock or more...we would do better giving it up soon or running a play faster..passing around & setting picks more.. also dwight needs to learn how to keep the ball high and out of a guards reach..but thats another story. he would have a lot more and 1s if he did this. especially on offensive rebounds..he needs to either keep the ball high and go back up or pass it out if there are 3-4 guys around him like there usually are.

also, i was at the game and near the end..they announced free chicken sandwich on the jumbotron..then i get home and check the box score and we only got 19..whats up with the magic lying to us..

The calls IMO affected the Cavs more then the Magic Dwight elbows shaq, anderson, etc b/c they play an inch away from him. dwight has to have room to actually move when he gets the ball. if you play that close to dwight...you will get hit.. also anderson must not understand what boxing out and fighting for rebounding position is..b/c there will be contact and pushing..its part of boxing out..

we'll win. we've won every game i've been to this year..even the last boston game where it looked like a loss.

it loaded for me but had nothing to do w/ practicing free throws.
