quote: Originally posted by Courtskils:For the contract he signed, he should be the guy who wants to guard the other teams best player, whether he's a post or a wing. When you pay a guy league max he should have the intensity to want the ball every possession, he should have that killer instince. Rashard, however just wants to fit in. Well if you don't want to lead, don't try and get paid like a leader. Honestly, don't you think management had conversations with Rashard about intensity, leading, and playing like he's getting paid. I don't see Rashard complaining to Van Gundy about the way he is used, speak up. That's pretty shortsighted. Courtskills should see Lewis isn't at fault for Otis having thrown a bunch of money at him and expect him to become Keven Garnett. Rashard never in his 9 year career has had to play this way. Is like asking a guy like Dirk Nowitzki to play center just because he's 7 feet and to expect good defense against the good centers of this league. Sorry you can't understand this. I also agree 100% with the opening post quote: Originally posted by MatiasjjStan is not stupid. he realize that Lewis is nto a PF. He put hedo and Shard in the floor because he want to spread the floor for Dwight and Howard develop very well. The other reason is because Tony is injured for all the season. Foyle can

quote: Originally posted by MilitaryMagic:Ugh, what the FRICK was Otis thinking when he signed Lewis. $118 million for a fricken league-average PF. and who the FRICK said Lewis was ever a PF? lol Seattle fans told us he was even soft for a Small Forward

nice letter too bad you're not being realistic asking too much Nelson isn't a PG to run an NBA tean, even less one like the Magic who's full of shooters wanting the ball. Meer has said it himself, he's at his best scoring. Jameer, tell Stan Van Dumby to plese let you come off the bench late when Lewis and Bogans can't throw it in the ocean. That's when we need you.

quote: Originally posted by Soul Bro:Please STOP with the Darko talk. The guy is a bum and has proven nothing. He is riding the pine in Memphis ... Memphis. To me, I'm ecstatic that Otis didn't sign Darko. That is one move that he did not make that was a good one. Yeah ok, that's why this year we're getting killed on the boards and second chance points right? I'm sure your loving how Otis' $118 mill. acquisition is helping in that area. Darko probably has litle motivation playing in that team. I hope we get him back somehow. quote: Originally posted by Soul Bro:And for honesty sake, let me add another thing that Otis did not do that was a great thing: Resign DeShawn Stevenson. How's he doing now in Washington? Anyone care to post his numbers this year? Was that a smart move by Washington's GM? Are you serious man? You must not have watched Stevenson play last year. He developed a 3-point shot to go along with his defense (real defense that is, not the bogus Bogans defense). He looked like the SG we needed. I don't know if he's injured, not playing right now or what but last year he was the most imporoved player in my book. Please stick to something you're familiar with because you're not very knowledgeable on the subject. quote: Originally posted by Soul Bro:Look, Otis has done some decent things and he has done some silly things. Time will tell his GM legacy. Give me a break. Publically shopping a guy and saying he can't play defense? That's the most dimwitted thing I've heard a GM say (that and microwave generational gap) oh wait, that quote was his also LOL. idiotic. He might have done some "good things" I mean he's the GM right? You'd expect one or two good things (which he has basically undone by now).

Not a bad half though. Thomas has made the Magic look foolish all through his career so whats your point? you called out SVG for not playing augie against thomas as if that would solve teh problem (don't act as if you didn't have a "know it all" tone). when SVG does it, it ends up not working. so shut up about that. if thomas made everyone look foolish, then you shouldn't have asked SVG to put augie on him. Can I ask you a serious question what planet do you come from?

quote: Originally posted by morlegend:mellow, you really are getting annoying. SVG knows what to do 10 times better than you. it's getting madly annoying that you have to criticize him in half your posts. btw, for all you wondering why arroyo isn't playing: it's because SVG made a comment about how it'd be sad if he had to decide minutes based on the amount of intensity players put into the game. i guess he's having to do that. and i guess your favorite boy is a lazy mofo who only cares about the money. You mean criticize Van DUMBY? he's not my favorite "boy" but ToughBreakThere is your favorite boy

I second that However we chose Brian Hill over Shaq That's why Shaq left. Notice how Shaq wasn't happy with Van Gundy and he quickly was replaced. It took the whole team to voice their displeasure for Brian to finally be replaced in 97, and Howard saying "he was cool" (with Brian being gone) this year. Your franchise player comes first while so-so coaches are repleaceable.

I'm so happy, 2nd home loss for Boston means they'll probably lose some more now, definitely

wow what a pass by Arroyo and dunk by Evans

we look like the sub .500 team. But no we have a great record! we must be good Stan is awesome

quote: Originally posted by the_rocket:get agustine,hedo can't defend Tim Thomas that makes too much sense for Van Dunby I knew that big lead was gonna crumble

oh this team has Tim Thomas we're toast once a Magic killer always a Magic killer

quote: Originally posted by gporter:This is the same guy that drafted Dwight Howard remember? Possibly the greatest draft choice ever, considering the circumstances, and how many people were saying they should draft Emeka Okafor. sorry but this thread is just lame Remember? Your memory is not very good because it was hockey guy not Otis. Even if he had still drafted Howard, I would've drafted him too. He's still a moron.
