Turk's ability to post up smaller players was/is nonexistent, and West was able to stay in front of him. If you put West on Lewis, completely different story. But Turk was only able to get separation off of pick and rolls. So why will these guys be able to do a better job on Vince than Turk? Don't worry. West won't be able to guard anyone while he's wearing that straitjacket. Any bets on how soon he gets fitted for it?...

I have no proof, but I'm under the belief that Dante and Galante chloroformed the NO announcers at the beginning of the game and took their place...

100 points in three quarters. Way to go Magic! The NO announcers are hilarious, "Remind you of Christmas Day?"...

I was so hard up for a fix last night, I was watching the WNBA on ESPN.

Perfect example of why, no matter how hard you try, you can't be friends with everyone. Hope they enjoy their HATERADE. Dwight did a good job of not being dragged down to their level.

Not a commercial, but still a good post nonetheless. This is actually what I wanted to see, some recent footage of him to see if he still has speed and ups. Looks to me like he's still got plenty left in the tank.

5 seconds I'll never get back. Buh-bye...

I'd love to see The Polish Hammer block one of Turk's shot into the stands/backcourt. Not that I'm hating on Hedo or anything, because I'm not. But it would make for a great clip to ending to a Youtube clip entitled "Marcin Gortat: What I Did On My Summer Vacation".

Good to see he's getting his life back together. Sad that so many of these guys get all that $$$ and piss it away because no one shows them how to plan for the future. And the people they do wind up trusting to manage their money or "help out" rob them blind.

So ESPN polled 50 or so analysts and staffers who cover the NBA, and only 8 of them think the Magic will take the East again next year. I'm biased obviously, but how can you this is pretty ridiculous. Story below: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/...ictions09-EastChamps

Dwight Howard was making the rounds and was on SportsNation chatting with the smokin' Michelle Beadle and some guy named Colin (just kidding) this afternoon. I guess no one really does watch this show, as I figured someone would have posted this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De8PiI35Fq4 He was also featured on SportsCenter's Extended Conversation this evening. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4410579 OR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyQNPS2v9bQ Nice to see our guy getting some face time, even if they spend too much time talking about the Lakers, Shaq and the Lebrons. Now back to the gym, Dwight!

Because Dwight = Man and Lebron = B!tc# Dwight working on jumpers and free throws had me all kinds of giddy. Keep up the hard work D12!

quote: Originally posted by AddiFB:ICE-O He'll blind you with his quickness... and his teeth. He's the total package on the court and on the mic. None of his lyrics are written down. Everything he records is improvised on the spot. He's the most creative player/MC in the world. He's always multi tasking. While he crosses over his defender he'll figure out a way to take your girlfriend out on a lunch date. ICE-O will embarrass your family. Shard nailed the delivery.

Not that I think we needed it, but now we have another big chip to put on our shoulder to come out the gates hungry and angry this season. David Stern didn't want us in the Finals, national TV schedule doesn't include us a a premier game on opening night, now they're going to accuse Rashard of intentionally doping? More fuel for OUR fire. Underdogs Unite!

quote: Originally posted by PEC:Well it seems that Otis is looking to fill the roster with vet min contracts no sign and trades. BTW the Magic have offered Richardson so yes it seems that we will see Richardson back on the team this year even though in summer league he was terrible. The Magic have offered Richardson what exactly? Link please.

Double HELL NO! He's a shoot first PG (ala Tyron Lue jacking up bad threes), not a distributor who can attack the basket (which is what we need).

We need a cheap backup PG who'll spend his season getting limited minutes barring injury. He'll be able to learn from some of the best shooters in the game. Would you you give that to a Sun Yue or Russell Robinson? Who has the most potential for improvement? I'm having a hard time NOT going with Sun if the price is right. And talk about a matchup problem.
