The team needs to shave their beards. It's been nothing but bad mojo!

I find it interesting and a bit incredulous that Bill Ingram is basing the assumption that JJ is the player whom Andre Miller was referring to based on "his twitter account?!!" Has it even been confirmed that the Twitter account is indeed JJ's and not some poser? What ever happened to checking and confirming information before making assumptions?

Any of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child books, but especially the Pendergast series.

Just wanted you to know you aren't alone. Many people here feel the same way they just don't want to get the Redick crew stirred up. They know, like myself it's a deadend street. They J.J. possee is relentless. They are entertaining for the board, I'll give'em that. I've mentioned this before that I needed a break from the boards due to all the p***ing match back & forth, but obviously I didn't heed my own advice. Why lump all JJ fans as "JJ posse" whom you have no problems instigating heated "debates" (and I say that mildly because there really has been no debates in regards to him on this board. It basically comes down to the "he sucks" vs "he doesn't")? There ares fans who happens to be Magic fans & like JJ as well and want him to do well since he is part of the team. Then they are some who happened to be JJ fans and became fans of the Magic. I didn't realize it was exclusive to be or the other and not both.

It's Junkie verses the Redick possee, strap on your boots and get ready to ride!! This is just getting out of hand. If you feel like continuing the me vs Redick possee shtick, by all means go right ahead, it's your right. You have your opinion, they have theirs. This outward baiting gets really old really fast! I used to enjoy the boards for good debates & info on the Magic, in which I learn something new every time cause although I enjoy basketball, I don't know a lot about it in terms of x's and o's (which I have learned from reading many informative posts). Maybe, it's time for me to stop reading this board because there's no enjoyment anymore in reading the majority of the posts.

quote: Originally posted by bravlady:The jury's still out on this game. JJ had 4 PFs, for ticky tack fouls. With the exception of the PFs, he played pretty good defense. The China Team is pretty scrappy. He had some impressive assists and had two good shots that went in and popped out. By the time he found any rhythm, it was into garbage time. I thought he had gotten hurt in the Cavs game but couldn't confirm. Carlos is interviewing, Augustine had a good game, and as always plays with intensity. Kruger reminds me of Diener and will probably be the odd man out. I agree, let's get JJ back on home soil so he can resume the upward play. Per Denton, he sprained his ankle in the Cavs game. I watched the game, and can't recall him being injured.

I hope JJ finds his shot when he gets back home!

Nelson, JJ, Bogans, Hedo & Dwight starting http://forums.floridatoday.com/viewtopic.php?t=53808 quote: SHANGHAI - Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy continues to insist that only Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis have guaranteed starting spots, but it's looking more and more certain that Jameer Nelson, J.J. Redick and Hedo Turkoglu will join them in the lineup on opening night. Lewis won't play Wednesday in the China Games opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the rest of the projected starting lineup will be in place. Nelson and Redick have meshed extremely well in the backcourt _ Jameer as more of a turnover-free distributor and J.J. as a stellar shooter and a competitive defender.

I think it's because Indiana retired the #34 in honor of Mel Daniels.

The allegations in the police report filed with the City of Lake Mary are false and it is unfortunate that the Redicks are required to dignify the claims with a response. Any further investigation into the matters alleged against David Redick will reflect the utter lack of any basis whatsoever."

Here's another great article on JJ and his work ethics... quote: Redick Continues Busy Summer On USA Select TeamCourtesy: Duke Sports Information Release: 08/18/2007 LAS VEGAS

MY EYES, MY EYES, MY EYES!!!!!!!

Ugh...had perfect signal up until 30 minutes ago when it went to black and have been on buffer ever since. Anyone else having problems?

quote: Originally posted by sportsrock37: They play zone A LOT at Duke and they had defensive specialists around him. How much does the Magic play zone? If anything you are saying that he is a system defender. Not to mention look at who the Magic are surrounding him with if he starts, Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis, not exactly defensive specialists. I just don't see how it would benefit the Magic to start JJ next to Jameer. Like I said, it might work if they were the #1 and #2 options and were getting the ball a lot, but Dwight/Shard will take close to half of our shots this season, IMO. Uh, I don't know how many Duke games you actually watched, but Duke & Coach K DO NOT play zone defense. If they do, it would be maybe a few minutes here and there cause their big men are in foul trouble. Duke plays straight up man-to-man defense (99.5% of the time). Coach K has never hid JJ's defense by using zone even when he was a freshman.

quote: Originally posted by bhnole:Solid pick in second round, has size for a wing player and can shoot. Athletic, basketball IQ is questionable at times though. Couldn't have agreed with you more on your last sentence. I think he made a 3-point shot or a long jumper in last year's NCAA game against George Mason and was admiring his shot. His coach, Roy Williams, had to grab him either by the arm or the waist and yell at him to get back down the court on defense. He is indeed athletic, but makes bonehead plays during crucial moments.

quote: Originally posted by FENDI: this is just camera angle. You notice that Bo & the Miami player's eyes sure seem to be looking way up at JJ?

I honestly don't see why they don't have JJ helping Dwight on his FTs. As djmase20 stated, JJ has perfect mechanics whether it's at the FT line or on his jump shots. What's the harm in having JJ work out with Dwight an hour a day in practice?
