Howard and Lewis are not helping my fantasy teams and I am in the finals!

Howard should not play the next 2 games also.

**** you guys are bit**ing about these last games. The guy is tired and should not be playing more than 30 min a game. If I was SVG I would give him the last 2 games off. He played for USA and has played more than 70 games this season. He has to save some energy for the playoffs. Winning the next 2 games would take us to.....same seed we are today. Chill...

Our team is just waiting will Saturday to play for real. I don't blame them. They know they can't catch Boston and they need to rest. On the other hand I would be pretty upset to buy tickets to see them at the arena and they show up playing like this, but then again I don't buy tickets to go see teams with records below 500

We can carry good momentum and finish the season strong, but the playoffs are a different game and if we see The Pistons??? It's gonna be over quick!

quote: Originally posted by Miller4Prez64:Dwight should be ashamed of himself. He was guarded by the likes of Harrington, Jeffries, and Lee all night and he looks like a mediocre player out there. Rashard is so worthless anymore now too. mediocre??? You are being nice in my opinion! I can wait till this game is over!

quote: Originally posted by siradam134:can i purchase season tickets next year to JUST the 4th quarter of every home game of the season? seems to me that's the only quarter our team turns on the heat. Not this game!

Rashard Lewis. I loved to take 3's. Ocasionally take it to the basket, ocasionally post up and I was a decent defender.

quote: Originally posted by Miller4Prez64:This won't be easy, Hawks are tough on their floor and off a big win on a back to back can be a chance for a loss. But I think the team is too pumped, it will be close.....but Magic win it 101-97. Can't agree with you on that one. We beat the Hawks in a blow out fashion 121-87 on 01/09/09 and then we beat the Spurs, Kings, Lakers and Nuggets are their own floor. To me a victory like the one tonight can only give us confidence.

First....j/k. Magic 110 Hawks 96 Nice game thread by the way. I'm sure we'll have those commercials again during the playoffs

Let me start off with saying that I hate every team from Boston! NBA - Spurs (Boring team) NHL - The whole league MLB - Did I mention I hate the Red Sox? NFL - What about the Patriots Boxing - Ricardo Mayorga & Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Soccer - Real Madrid. I don't really hate them, but they are the Yankees of soccer and it upsets me! I also hate the Nascar.

quote: Originally posted by no_ma'am:i hope det gets the eighth seed. I would love for them to beat on lebron for a while even if it's just 4 games. Imagine if they get the 8th seed and beat the Cavs...That would be the funniest thing ever! David Stern would go crazy! The bulls would be easy in the first round. We need to rest to face Boston in the second.

NBA - Magic Soccer - FC Barcelona, Boca Juniors, Atletico Nacional. I only follow basketball and soccer. I watch NFL and MLB during the playoffs or like when the Yankess play the Redsox. I am happy when any florida team win anything, except the Miami Heat.

God I hope so, the Heat ones are hilarious! if so, can we purchase these jerseys anywhere? i seen the 'Los Spurs' jersey at their latin night at San Antonio but can't find it anywhere to purchase. The jersey should say "Los magic's", and I would like to get one too. Yup...That's how I call them!

quote: Originally posted by Carolvs V: quote: Originally posted by Rodriguez:Every year the magic have the latin night, but this year I didn't heard anything about it. Can someone know when is going to be? The Magic administration cancelled it a day after Arroyo's contract was over...maybe because they realized that most Magic Latin fans were from Puerto Rico. edit: No need for comments like that. sorry Not true!!!!! Latin night will be next Friday against the Bucks. Grupo Mania and Charlie Cruz if I'm not mistaken. I think they'll also have a presentation on Saturday at SeaWorld.

quote: Originally posted by echo4papa:No... you play to get the best seeding. #2 = Home court in the second round. You do not play to avoid teams. You relish the chance to prove yourself against a team that has your number. If we can't beat Detroit, then we can't beat Boston. Quite frankly, if we can't beat Detroit, we have no business being in the second round. We play our best, try to get that #2 seed, and also hope Detroit falls to #7. Who do you think Detroit wants to play? Boston or Orlando? They will try to be the 6th seed to play us!

If I could pick at this point I would pick #4! but we would have to lose a whole bunch of games and hope that the Hawks win the all. Being #4 would let us play the Cavs on the second round. I know most of you wanna be #2 and I would like as well to have home court against the Celtics. If we are second and Detroit 7 we will not even be able to see Boston on the second round.

quote: Originally posted by gporter:Okay so assuming we don't see Detroit and knock Boston out in the 2nd round, how are we not then instantly the favorites? We are 3-1 against the Lakers/Cavaliers and convincingly beat both teams, but barely lost a last minute lead in Cleveland and due to Lebron's heroics. It won't happen in a seven game series, the longest that series would be is six games, and Dwight dominates the Laker front line so I say we take them in five. Magic to win it all this year, and Jameer comes back next year and we win 70 games in the regular season and do it again. LETS GO!!! You make it look so easy

Is it possible to sign and trade Hedo for a decent PF that can come off the bench? while signing Gortat to start at PF and move Lewis to SF? We could also draft another PF/C in the draft.

I say give it a try, but I doubt he'll do it. these new NBA players (like Shaq back then) would feel stupid throwing the ball that way
