StufFtheMagicDragon

makes a team player out of Rashard by asking him to play in a different position. pfff.. rofl. Despite that draining his energy making him struggle on both offense and defense right? magicintheuk, are you that 'mitchelluk' guy in all the sentinel comments? Man both of you guys' common sense is equally awful.. Sorry for pointing that out .

In L.A., I admit I can't remember a player who played PF prominently (aside from Malone in his last ditch effort for a ring) but Shaq did have Kobe. Shaq never "grabbed every board, blocked every hot, and scored every time". He had help each and every time. Shaq and Kobe aside those LA championship teams were full of role players playing their last years of their careers. This organization likes to overpay, but not for good coaches. I wish we had Phil... Back in 1995 we could've gotten Riley, but we decided Brian was just fine, another playoff sweep. The dumb-down effect of the Magic media makes people believe we're as good as we can be right now because we don't have a stelar PF -not true. For the millionth time, Foyle and Augie give us the rebounding and offensive hustle we eed at the 4, we don't need a scoring PF Stop making excuses that we don't have Haslem, he isn't much better, just gets a bunch of minutes as a garbage man for the Heat. Both his defense and offense aren't even consistent. .

quote: Originally posted by Nick Anderson 4 President:I was at the game vs cleveland the other night with a buddy of mine who's more of heat fan. Anyway, what I found interesting was that when SVG got a technical, there was a lot of cheering heard. My friend was like do the people in Orlando not like SVG much? I was confused by it also...either there were A LOT of cleveland fans there that night, or maybe a lot of the fans aren't exactly thrilled with Stan. Did anyone else who was at the game notice this as well and can comment on it? Usually you hear boos when your coach gets a tech right? well, the cinderella fans will try to deny it but under Stan reality is: 1-the team has a mediocre home record for the offensive talent we have. Lost way too many games here, many in a non-thrilling fashion. Consider with weaker squads Magic teams have looked much tougher at home. The Magic already have several home losing streaks this year. Other than the 04 season where we tanked, that never happens 2-Stan benching JJ probably has something to do with his lack of love. Stan is new here and all but his popularity is way below BHill's right now. YOu stubbornly don't play a popular player and then make excuses for it. You're not gonna be liked. Always have the same boring lineups of guys like Meer and Lewis out of position IMO that only leaves 3 players to make the game interesting. 3-Stan's soft/small lineups are causing Dwight to get less monster dunks. Face it, Dwight's game without the dunks isn't as exciting to watch. People are going to the Arena nowadays because it's nice family entertainment. Not because they expect to see the Magic beat anyone. .

haha an obese Shawn Kemp. Definitely not classic u know he didn't make that shot lol

I don't know if it work even with some of Otis' "creative financing" LMAO.. But for what Rashard does, which is mostly offense I'd try to get Marion for him It might be that Lewis is struggling mostly because of Stan but again we haven't seem him at his natural position here.

& Thanks for reminding me of that video man, never get tired of seeing it. Better music, more exciting players, way nicer pinstripe uniforms, shorts still above the knees, the Goggles!!! Back when the NBA was at its peak and the Magic the hottest team, 1995 Beautiful. .

..and right now we have Stan van Gumpy and the chemistry-klilling dwarf good times LOL ok ok we have Turk and Howard but that's about all I can get get excited about I really believe Redick would become a classic Magic player (if he got to play) sigh!

quote: Originally posted by bringithomerashard: Dwight giving 50% is 100 times better than Adonal Foyle on the floor. Funny thing is Foyle is not even a true center, he's way undersized. Dumby hasn't figured out if he plays Dwight and Foyle together everything is easier. Takes care of the main reason while we lose (getting killed on 2nd chance points, lack of interior defense, and getting outrebounded). For all Stan talks about defense, he's really worried about offense. That's why he has Lewis at the 4 where we don't need scoring at that position. We need defense and rebounding at 4. He actually believes the INconsistent offense of from a tired-of-banging-down-low Lewis is more valuable than natural defensive hustle, rebounding and easy putbacks we'd get from Foyle every game. I repeat Dwight needs to play with Foyle. Foyle by itself is a very poor substitution with no other bigs. He's only helped him out with Augustine like once or twice, and not surprisingly it's worked very well. Either Foyle and Augustine are perfect to play with Dwight. Foyle especially while not athletic is mobile, is tenacious on D (more than Dwight because he's more experienced) and doesn't pick up the silly fouls Dwight does. The two of them will get less tired than Dwight by himself or Foyle by himself. To get them a breather he can bring Augustine and/or Gortat for a few minutes, that's all. Foyle gets tired you sub Augie, Howard gets tired you can even sub Gortat and Garrity/Cook. Use your players Stan Van Gundy!!! Stop frustrating the fans like BHill did.. actually BHill seemed to have better common sense PS: Dwight is the biggest guy at 6'11" not 7'1" like Shaq was. An almost superhuman effort from him every night at 6'11" he's not frigging Yao Ming. .

Great! 2-If the thread doesn't deserve a reply why are you posting just to say that? You're making the thread better by bothering to reply. That defeats the purpose don't you think 3-if it's too "negative" meaning (realistic) say something funny PS: Gotta Love Matias' dUmbY avatar.

I hope not..

You're right with Otis we didn't stand a chance Gasol was traded for basically nothing and it totally passed Otis by. Imagine him trying to deal with the Suns.. even less of a chance

I dont want us getting ahead of ourselves! Everytime someone posts something that's somewhat realistic or doesn't contain any crazy cheerleading JD posts a blog.. lol .

quote: Originally posted by gporter:Stan Van Gundy is the man! Jameer Nelson is the Franchise! and that team would be unwatchable oh wait.. that IS our team quote: I know, let him lose a playoff series first Yeah let's go to the playoffs to establish a new NBA record for most playoff sweeps. That sounds like you already expect them to lose, and in all fairness it's probably what will happen given the way this coach is coaching the magic. I also agree that for being the official magic forum has gotten really bad lately with so many cheering for mediocrity.. but it's always been quote: The point is who would you rather see go. Stan the Fat Man or Dwight Howard Coming from a "knowledgeable" fan base who booed penny at a recent game for the first time in his career.. they'd probably keep the coach .

Tired of this clueless coach who sounds like an old lady. No surprise Dwight is tired of it. The players have tuned this coach out. All he does is yell but can't offer anything that can really help the players out or any substitutions that make sense. All talk and no action except to change what's working and keep going to what traditionally doesn't work -which goes against what he says and against any common sense- Tired of watching the competent franchises make moves to obtain good pieces for bargains while we overpay for average one-dimensional players. We have a coach and GM who make our young players with potential look worse degrading their trade value. Eventually to trade them for more role players. Tired of Vander Weide saying in every inverview how happy he is with what he's done and how the team is doing great when it isn't just wanted to get that out of my chest ahhhh! I feel much better go Magic! StufF .

He's not offended by his caritative "youth pastor" insults of calling him a "Lil' man" He ways way to go pastor! ..like it or not that's what LilPenny thinks .

..and then kick echo4caca in the balls on the way out for talking crappa about LilPenny .

Can Opener, if StufF was Dwight Howard I would've quit a long time ago if I got no help I give a great effort every night and I almost feel like quitting when I keep flapping my arms (wings) for people to make noise at the Arena and they just stand there One of these days I'm just gonna walk out, watch .

He got banned as lil'penny, it's only a matter of time before he gets banned with this account as well. Seems like you're still missing "LilPenny" echo4caca

I would suggest he benches himself for inserting Nelson back in the starting lineup racking up 5 turnovers and showing us a ball-hogging extravaganza after going 8-2 with Arroyo. Lewis getting abused on the low post (as that 9-0 stat reveals). JJ, Augie, Gortat rotting on the bench.. etc the list would fill the whole page. Before you think StufF is P.rican or an Arroyo homer, think again I'd honestly like to see JJ at the PG spot one day, and have to content myself with the notion it won't happen here Can Opener, your being a victim of the Magic PR. Remember Otis said he'd take Fran all over again if he had the chance. Do you also believe that? How can you be so blind as to believe this guy who's talking nonsense out of frustration and now doesn't want to back down just seem firm in his stupidity in front of the media? Did you miss Dwight get at least two nasty swatted shots (that were counted as goal tending)? How do you do that and "don't play defense"?? If Howard's d was so bad.. how about calling the rest of the guards too for allowing a mediocre sub to get 40? Why the double standard? The Cavs are a big team and were triple teaming Dwight, he was obviously fed up with Stan's lack of help. Meer didn't help, Lewis didn't help, Bogans didn't help, Foyle, Augustine and Gortat never help because they're always on the bench, etc. I know I might not convince you and probably wasted my time but at least I replied .

Stan is essentially saying the Magic are dropping games at home because of Dwight The Mascot is armed with some statistics as well At some point during last game the Cavs were ahead .. get ready.. 9-0 on second chance points. Something similar happens in every game but it's all Dwight's fault. Let's bench him in every game. Stan the disciplinary Pizza man! .

Indeed a great lesson You bench your best player because your a moron, you lose

I nominate Van GUMPY for coach of the East! Go Magic! -StufF .
