Good enough. Plus, they weren't signed for their defense. I would like Hedo to come off the bench like Manu. I think Rashard could be great at the 3 in the EC. We have one major glaring weakness, imo: a banger pf. Hopefully, we can get a serviceable one with our expirings and a pick.

We have little flexibility for the future given our current set of contracts. In fact, it's going to be very difficult to avoid the luxury tax in upcoming years without DOWNGRADING our bench (yes, I said downgrading). Otis paid big money for Rashard because he felt he was the "missing piece" that would make us competitive for a championship. Otis was wrong. Are you kidding? After only 1/3 of the season with a new key player, a new coach, and still holding a 23-15 record, you already know Otis is wrong and that we can't compete over the next few years? Please.

I am surprised that some of you who are disagreeing with Mike are actually agreeing with some of what he wrote. Did you know that? Did you all read his whole thread? Especially the last paragraph? He acknowledges we need more help but overall remains hopeful and supportive. And, yes, this is year one with a new max FA signed by Otis. (For so long we were drowning under the weight of Grant's injury-laden tenure). Obviously, we need pieces but our core is good. Let's see how she sails.

Magicmikej, great post. Glad you are here. I am very happy with our record and the direction of this team. Go Magic!

I liked giving JJ a chance last night with some of our starters.

I don't want to read this entire thread b/c I feel lazy. Yet I have to wonder why Los has been banished? He was playing good ball. Makes little sense to me.

Let's Go Magic!

Pat Garrity, I read in the Denver papers this morning he's thinking about retirement after this season.(lol) Wouldn't surprise me if Pat was in on it, too. He always has that scowl on his face.

This chump shows up and we lose at home. Even ESPN notices this curse: "The Magic don't have a road game in the West after Jan. 23. But that might not be such great news after they fell to 7-8 at home with Ls to Jersey and Houston by three points total . . . both with Tiger Woods in the house." http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking. Yes, we had a thread about this that was shut down by Fendi: http://orlandomagiczone.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/88910298...831026274#7831026274. Yet I had to reopen the topic because now the world sees it, too. Tiger is the reason for our home losing season! Ban him!

O-Dub, do you have inside information? Is Nick in on this thing, too?

Stan Van Gundy puts Brian Cook through hell in practices in some sort of last ditch effort to make an NBA player out of this guy so another bungled move by Otis doesn't ruin "his" team. And that's where we're at as we speak... That second point is hilarious b/c you can actually see Stan saying that.

Woody's Barbecue

I think we are on to something. It has been going on for years.

Anyone know if Tiger is even a Magic fan or just a local viewer? Whatever his allegiance, I'd prefer he stay home. Bring back Warren Sapp to the games and have him be our "motivational" coach.

Did I mention Hedo was 3/15? Was that Jameer or Carlos' fault?

Nice Rashard

Hedo: 3/15 from the field. Terrible shooting.

Hedo looks AWFUL!!!
