quote: Originally posted by MagicAtic:Toronto is one of those teams that you can play Dooling at the 2. So when Calderon enters the game, so does Dooling. Arroyo/Nelson will have to play the Raps 2-guard. If they go small with Ford and Calderon in the back court, then that plays to our advantage. Lewis should guard Bosh the entire game. Barring and foul trouble, Lewis should rest when Bosh rests and come back into the game when Bosh is in. If he gets into foul trouble then we will see D12 on him with Garrity guarding the center. or the WARLOCK! this was the worst possible opponent for foyle.

we should sticky a negative article link. we need documentation on who in the media should feel our wrath.

quote: Originally posted by ball junkie:I was watching Stan Van Gundy's postgame interview after the Wizards game. A reporter(not sure who cause I didn't recognize the voice)asked are you gonna have Dwight gaurding Bosh? Stan answered, "I wouldn't necessarily assume that. There are a lot of different options we could use there and quite frankly I'm not in the habit of giving my gameplan to the paper for print". Including me the whole place let out a big chuckle! Anyhow, I'm going to list the starters for each team. quote: Raptors - PG- T. Ford SG- A. Parker SF- J. Moon PF- C. Bosh C- R. Nesterovic Magic - PG- J. Nelson SG- M. Evans SF- H. Turkoglu PF- R. Lewis C- D. Howard KEY SUBS--------------- Raptors - Jose Calderon, Andrea Bargnani, Carlos Delfino, Jason Kapono, Kris Humphries, Juan Dixon Magic - Keith Bogans, Keyon Dooling, Carlos Arroyo, Adonal Foyle, Pat Garrity Now, we all know that matching up defensively and how well you can stop the opponent is key to winning any series. We all saw last year what happens from the Detroit series when teams exploit mis-matches, example was Brian Hill continually putting Jameer on Chauncy Billups. In our regular season matchups with the Pistons so far this year I'm sure most of you noticed that Stan was putting different guys like Bogans(the majority), Keyon and so forth on Billups. If you are Stan, who would you instruct to guard whom in our upcoming series? What are the key matchups in your opinion? Don't forget to add any key bench players if you deem it necessary, for example, when Jose Calderon comes in the game who would be your ideal Magic player to guard him? ok, i would have lewis on bosh and evans on parker (due to size). Keep flashing evans to help out lewis if bosh gets it in the post. I'm confident that lewis can guard bosh outside. Lately, tj ford has been hitting alot of open 3's so make sure nelson keeps an eye on him especially when they kick the ball out from the post. I'm sure dooling will give calderon fits. we really cant play any zone because they will spread it open with 3 point shooting and then hit cutters as they flash into the gaps. This could get howard into foul trouble. Offensively, I would look to dwight early to try to get Rasho into foul trouble. If he stays on the pine for an extended period of time they will have noone to keep dwight off the glass. Im hoping bosh trys to match up on Hedo. Hedo is the best on the team at drawing fouls.

lol its the gigantic wall O' text

remember the name Steve Greenberg. When we get passed the 2nd round i expect a flurry of emails for him

Simply because it use to be enjoyable. There were intelligent and at the same time humorous posts about things. Anyone that has signed up for the board should be required to read the old DS threads. In between the bashing and parties at his house were actual points. Now you come on here after a loss and it's something like (and not to beat a dead horse but "Oh, Jameer went 3-7 and Carlos had 4 assists and 1 turnover. Let's trade Jameer, Garrity, and Reddick for Chauncy Billups and a 1st rounder. Yeeeaaahh, then we're in the finals!" or better yet..."This guy sucks...No that guy sucks...no you suck...no you suck more." The hallowed grounds of the Magic message boards are no more and it has been diluted into just another board where people care more about how many posts they have rather than only having 15 posts, but saying something in each one. The Truth has finished The Truth's rant. The Truth thanks The Truth's followers. Go in Peace. Many people are not going to understand because they were not here during that time frame. The Truth and I signed up right around the same time and we disagreed on quite a few things. We would argue back and forth but we also had fun doing it. It never turned ugly, he respected my opinion and I respected his even though it was horribly wrong. When he said that I was defending Deshawn because I was "riding his unit," I didn't take offense to that, I laughed and then turned it into a joke that we had fun with. Of course in order for that to happen, people need to have a little more fun on here and not take everything personal. we really do need to mellow out sometimes. I think people get too self conscience and get offended when people disagree with them. There should be no reason for so much hostility all of the time.

I guess we just cant handle the truth ok that was lame, back to lurking....

In a way to redeem ourselves for the espn poll, vote for dwight howards superman dunk to beat the rockets 22 game streak. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/BDL...s-Dwig?urn=nba,74280

im predicting that he's going to end up alot like the other unathletic white big men that succeed in college but do nothing in the pros. see Josh McRoberts, Nick Fazekas, That one guy who started for GT in the championship game against CT in 2004, Christian Lattener, aaron gray, etc... here are several mock drafts that predict where he goes #22 in 2009 http://www.nbadraft.net/index.asp?content=mock2009 #24 this year http://www.mynbadraft.com/2008-NBA-Mock-Draft #24 this year http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2008/ #20 this year http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/Draft/mockdraft.htm

this one looks to be in our favor

you play this too. right now im a lvl 6 CB

looks like congress is going to try to cut funding again

quote: Originally posted by fan for too long: quote: you will notice that a majority of their opinions are left of center. I love the New York Times. About a centimeter left of center. And that's the most liberal writer's they have. Wasn't the great NY times on the Bush bandwagon towards war? Why did they not cover the "Winter Soldier Conference"? If they are so liberal wouldn't they. And yes Osprey23 you have labeled me correctly. A radical and darn proud of it. I am sure not like WP riding the fence. Like you I am securely entrenched on one side of the fence. It is time for the American people to decide and quit riding that fence before its too late. um... being radical isnt good

quote: Originally posted by ma:Listen to SVG and you will hear him say similar things to what I am saying. Stepping up as a fan is not one dimensional. It doesn't do anyone any good to live in a dream world where mediocre or below mediocre performance is applauded. I am sorry, I can not do that. If the team gave its best and fought hard, but lost anyway, then I would have applauded them all the way. Watch SVG's conference, I bet he is gonna come down hard. I am not posting that people would respond to me, I don't understand that logic unfortunately? MA but what you dont understand is that SVG isnt talking to you. he isnt talking to me. he's talking about the team. Just because the coach cant accept losses doesn't mean we have to as well. What this team needs is support from us and tough love from the coach. unnecessary pessimism doesnt help.

nelson might be cuncussed. hedo sprain wrist. we'll know more tomorrow

None the less, horrible game by the 2 spot: 2-13 from the field. 9 points. mo really didnt hurt us. it was more bogans and jj Impressive. Yeah Mo and Keith had rough nights on both ends no doubt
