quote: Originally posted by TheRevTy:In my mind, a true Magic Killer is a no-name guy who always just lit us up. Jannero Pargo, Antonio McDyess deserve top billing. What is a magic killer??? Didn't Pargo had 2 really good games against us and that's about it? And on of them Paul was out so Pargo played most of the minutes....I may be wrong. If that's the case the add P. Millsap who scored a career high against the Magic in Dec of 2007. AI, Wade, RIP, Bosh all get inspired when the play us. I just can't understand why!

quote: Originally posted by Darrell_Armstrong:Can anyone explain how a buyout works? Basically, what is the advantage for the team that buys them out and on what terms must their new team agree? Specifically, if Gooden was bought out, would the Magic simply have to outbid other teams for a one year salary and then he comes off the books at the end of the year? If so, I'd love to see Otis take a look. I'm not holding out much hope, but in terms of skills, Gooden is better than Smith and Mikki Moore, so we'd actually come out ahead of the other two in the East. Again, I really don't see this getting done though. "He had to be waived by the NBA's Sunday night deadline to be eligible for the playoffs with another team." That was for Joe Smith. If Gooden is waived we won't be able to play him in the playoffs according to the link that Obawan12 provided.

Me on the other hand....pretty upset! For whatever reason I thought the game was on Sunday at 7pm and when I logged in to my computer to check the NBA scores at around 9:15 I noticed there was like 2 min left to play!

quote: Originally posted by Natmayo:Rasheed would be great for us, but would Otis bite?? Also hes on the threshold of missing a good amount of games with his tech count. Would he really be able to help us down the stretch?? Id take the chance but does Otis?? I don't think it would be any Detroit player. NBA teams need to get to the playoffs to make money and buying out Wallace could take them out of the playoff picture. If I'm wrong??? Then great news for us! Otis should sign this guy right away! Out of the list that junkie mention Marion would be the one that IMO could get the buy out. The Raptors aren't going anywhere. He could help us, but he wouldn't be the answer!

quote: Originally posted by Tough Break There: quote: t is also highly improbable not to mention totally out of the realm of reason to have a competitive team on the floor with a signing of that magnitude. 0 bench and 0 role players = 0 titles. Disagree. If you had Dwade and Howard you could surround them with a 7 D-league players and Robert Horry and win 6 consecutive titles. Disagree! Why sign up 7 D-league players when you have players on the league like Marbury who are willing to sign up for the min to get a ring? We could get a lot of quality veterans.

quote: Originally posted by Gamakis:okay fine, put his *** on the "3". What is he going to do? Penetrate? Create off the dribble the ball? Assume playmaking duties? Guard other quick "3"s? Or just...shoot from the corner? People misunderstood my thread..I like Rashard and I'd love to have a shooter of his caliber on my team. But not at the money level that a D. Howard, Lebron James, D. Wade or other much better players should be making.. I can't believe it took you over a year to realize that!

quote: Originally posted by magicfannumerouno:Hey everyone, I'm 16 years old and wondering if anyone had some insight on how to become one of the "mop boys" at the games, or something along those lines? If anyone had some info i'd really be appreciative, thanks!! You can mop my house during a magic game! J/K. Follow D-Guy's advise.

Ohhh and... can we drop the Lewis contract thing for at least a month?

quote: Originally posted by Sinister_Grin: quote: Originally posted by Drunk on Mystery: quote: Originally posted by Sinister_Grin:Serious question...Can Rashard restructure his contract to make less money? Would it still count against the cap if he did so? Not saying he would. Just curious. This question seems like it gets asked twice a week. The answer is still "No, it's against CBA rules." I asked because I thought Shaq had his contract restructured with the Heat. When Shaq was going to sign his new contract for 30mil a season he asked the Heat to sign him for 20 mil instead and use the other 10 to bring other players....and they ended up winning a championship!

quote: Originally posted by Drunk on Mystery:Sure as death and taxes, people on this board will act like complete morons after a loss. Although truth be told, I can't decide which is dumber in this thread: "lets play our bench less and wear out our starters going into the playoffs" theory or the "good defense = blocks" theory. In terms of complete nonsense, they're both winners. Agree. When the magic play 3 guys from the bench we leave 2 starters and those 2 take the most shots. If you look at the scorebox our bench shot 7-13 which is better than 50% (heck...even better than the staters) and they only had 1 turnover. We just need our bench to step up, create some offense fo our starters and play some defense. I am also sick and tired in plays which the opponent drives to the basket and a magic player just stick their hand out there to foul and end up creating a "and 1" f*** if you are going to foul them foul them hard and don't let them make the god dam* basket!

quote: Originally posted by chrisinboston:Dwight Coward plays very sheepish against Detroit and Boston, probably facing them in rounds 1 and maybe if we make it to 2. I thought Howard played better today, but as a team we need to be more aggresive. Howard can't do it all by himself. He needs a PF that helps him push around. If you look around the league teams like Boston and Detroit have a lot of big man and that meanss 6 fouls for each player. We don't have that luxury. Boston just added another 6 fouls with Moore!

quote: Originally posted by gporter:You cannot pick Orlando, who is the favorite to win the title this year? Rashard: Orlando. I would have answered the same way!

Go back and watch the play again. I watched that play a couple of times the day of the game and Maxiell didn't do anything to him. Here is the play Maxiell didn't go hard on him to throw him down. MP just needs to control him self in the air! What Pietrus' right leg. He extends his leg, and Maxiell moves through him. That causes Pietrus to spin and fall awkwardly. The contact from Maxiell caused the spinning motion and awkward landing. Not sure how you can watch that and say Maxiell didn't touch him, and not sure how you can watch that and say it was due to Pietrus' lack of control in the air. He did touch him. I saw it on the replay, but people here are talking about vengance?? why? He had no bad intentions.

I'm actually glad his playing! He plays great defense.

IMO this game does not mean anything! We beat them twice last season and one of them was a blow out at Detroit. Then we lost 4-1 in the playoffs while Billups was hurt. We will win tonight and if we see them in the playoffs we will beat them as well. AI has destroyed that team and Detroit shouldn't stop us. I don't think we will finish 1st in the East, but at I'd like to finish 2nd at least and have the Cavs at 3rd, so we can have home adv against them and then face Botson in the ECF. Magic 98 Detroit 89
