Love the energy and shot selection by JJ and Ryan. Dwight giving it all he's got on D, arenas playing well too. Turk should be benched and J rich is worse than VC last year.

If we lose this series (Which i m 90% sure we will) I blame Turk and Van Gundy. Turk because he can't hit a shot or make a play to save his life, and Van Gundy for keeping Nelson on Crawford.

Gotta love Ryan Anderson. When he's in there (especially as of late) he's an amazing offensive rebounder (way better than Shard ever was) and is about as accurate from 3. I think maybe Shard was a little better defensively, but I'll take Anderson's play right now any day. Hopefully can keep it up in the playoffs.

Seriously what is wrong with this dude when it comes to this... That was just a dumb technical foul from Dwight and it was deserved. Instead of just handing the ball over he blatantly throws it the other way... I don't get it. Sure I guess it's good to get a game of rest in (as he will be suspended) but this can't build any good will towards the officials (those same officials who will be in playoff games) and it just makes him look like a baby. Also, our team looks like **** against a mediocre bobcats team... Don't believe in just "turning it on" in the playoffs, we're in trouble.

Nelson with the crucial turnover. Sucks, played well.

Great effort from most of the guys tonight (especially Howard and Anderson) I have to put this out there: KG disgusts me with his trash. If Dwight did half the **** he did, he'd have been tossed already... Awful double standard.

Offense looking good... If turk doesn't blow that dunk and and go better than 2-10, and if Jrich can shoot better than 3 - 11 , we'll be fine the defense will come.

don't fault stan on this one... this lies on the players. I honestly think this Shard thing is a big problem... if he can't regain his touch or basic skills, we're f'd... his contract is so massive that no one will take it and we'll be bogged down for next few years

We have really regressed as a team. I m not sure where the blame goes. It seems like when Meer's on, we win... but against good teams is he ever on? Also, Rashard Lewis is killing us. It's like the guy can't even handle the ball in the open floor or on a fast break... if his only real move now is spot up 3's then he's failing even at that... When you look at the better teams in the East and West, it's going to be difficult to imagine getting past them in the playoffs... I just hope we turn it around and figure it out.

Bass saving our Assz Unfortunately don't know how we can compete for full 48 w/out 5 of our players.

We should still be up 10 at least... Lewis looks god awful and Utah is likely dead tired. I don't understand Dwight...once they call a foul, travel, etc they're not going to reverse it... BE A PROFESSIONAL, stop complaining and costing the magic points.

This is really a miserable 1st real game for us. I don't count Washington... this is a team (Heat) we will see likely in the playoffs. VC and Lewis are non-existant... can't win without them.

Anyone have any pics of Orton/Robinson in Orlando Draft hat? Or were neither of them in nyc?

+/- don't lie.

I watch a lot of games. The 2nd tech (where he was whining) has been called on Howard numerous times, so i m fine w/ that tech. The first will likely get rescinded as upon replay, i didn't see anything that would cause the ref to T him up. But to the people saying the 2nd tech wasn't legit, that's bull****, it was... How many times have you seen Howard verbally complain and walk away while he's T'd up... happened all the time in regular season. Perkins has to stop whining and play the game.

How can you not have faith? We played like absolute dung for 3 quarters and we almost came back to win... They watched the tape, they know how they have to adjust. Allen won't be as good tonight, and if Dwight makes half of the little hooks or and 1's that he missed, we'll be fine.

part of me wonders if garnett had the same put-back dwight just did, if they would have blown the whistle...

Dwight defense igniting offense... Not hard to understand. We'll likely lose this one, but if we just play better D and some of our guys get some to drop (and Allen doesn't shoot lights out) I still say Magic in 6.

no panic here... Dwight needs to rise above and focus on defense. He's too offensively raw to play well against a really god C's defense... Let the defensive effort ignite our pure shooters and offensive players. Vince has to stop celebrating about his offensive rebounds when we're down 15.

I know Dwight will bounce back and have a monster game on Wed offensively (9 blocks not too shabby) Big shooting by MP and Jameer tonight, we needed it. This Charlotte team is better than last year rd. 1 76ers... I just hope Vince can start to get his shot going.

This loss falls on Shard, solely. Dude couldn't hit an open shot to save his life, and was pedestrian on defense. We get 3 points from him against a playoff caliber team, we're going to struggle to win.

Barnes is the tough hard-nosed player this team needs...everyone else seems soft compared to him. Without him we don't win this game. Only thing I ll say is he needs to tone it down at the right times...was really surprised he didn't get tossed for taunting. He's gotta continue to play tough but be SMART about it.
