Ryan the Magic Fan

let him get fined, hes the only person on the magic besides jameer who shows he gives a ****. Put Van Gundy's fire in Rashard or Hedo and you would have one of the best players in the NBA. Put it in Dwight and you would have a man who lives up to his potential.

and this is not just a hedo problem, this is a team problem. This is a Dwight, shard, Rafer, SVG, JJ, and every other person out there problem. Im sick and tired of the blame hedo **** right now. Check his stats, he played better than anyone tonight. Granted he played like ****, but that just goes to show you how bad the rest of the team played. We conviently try to place all the blame on SVG and hedo but no one wants to hold the other players on this team accountable. Rafer's turnovers and bad decisions. Rashards lack of a killer instinct (he should be averaging 30 in this series). JJ's poor shooting. Dwights inability to get his offensive game going. The list goes on and on guys. Dont use hedo and SVG as scapegoats. This team simply is not an elite team yet because of a mental inability to impose their will. Maybe they need this. I think they are a better team then boston. Boston is just much more disciplined. Maybe this is another lesson to the Magic. I dont know. This is the first time they really have had to hold onto big leads in the playoffs against veteran teams. who knows.

screw sick of orlando's offense. Im sick of their late game defense for christ sakes. I see no one talking about their inability to get a defensive f***ing rebound!!! Boston is one of the best defensive teams in the league. They became championships off it. You dont beat a good defensive team with offense, you defeat it with great defense. I refuse to blame this game on the teams offensive mistakes. I expect a veteran team like boston to make a big run. But i also expect a team with the defensive player of the year to hold a 14 point lead no matter how bad their offense plays. I expect a team down by 1 point with less than 24 to go to not allow two offensive rebounds. The heart of this team was weak tonight and on sunday night. We got away from the defense that allowed us to take leads and thats why we will now loose this series. Im just sick to my stomach from how bad they played.

jeez... marbury is choosing a hell of a night to welcome himself back into the nba

AIR FRANCE TAKING OFF!!!

anybody notice how pierce put his arms around pietrus and mp got the foul called on him?

i picked the magic in 6 at the begining of this series and i see no reason to back off of it now. Magic take it tonight, showing the toughness that no one has given them credit for this entire year.

doesnt mean nothing. This crap happens in the playoffs. Good to see that both AJ and SVG are showin some real fire. Side bet: how much yall wanna bet that sports center makes a bigger deal about this than perkins flagrant?

The players were doomed when their coach and GM were out there publicly calling for a suspension as if that would be the only way they could win. We can beat Boston with or without Perkins. I'm with you man, screw it. Orlando has proven will step up and play with anyone and we wont make execuses for s****. Pekins should be suspended but guess what, will beat em with him anyway.

quote: Originally posted by PEC:I agree that our veteran pg Rafer will not let Rondo get away with what he did with Rose. If Rondo wants to get dirty it will be Rondo who gets kicked out not Rafer. Yes I agree that Rondo is in for a very rude awakening. I seriously think that Rondo wont even play alston dirty. The league can only cover for him so much guys. Rondo is gonna have to tone down his act. He gets in one more scrap he WILL have a suspension, guaranteed. Just way too much negatives going on around him. I think will be seeing a very tentative Rondo out there. And Alston is gonna eat him up for it.

ugh.... too hard too answer.... my gutt tells me celtics, chicagos youth and depth scares me... they will recover quicker from all these overtimes and close games. their not playing like a scared young team there supposed too. even though we wont have the home court... bulls really scare me. on the other hand... no sane person would say we dont want homecourt advantage and want to play the defending champs... i dont care whos hurt...

quote: Originally posted by magicman44:He was asked who would be in eastern conference final and he said Magic, but he went on to say that the magic need to run and move without the ball like they did in game six.. I was amazed at how much game Rashard lewis had in him I hadnt seen that all year and Barkley said the same. Barkley said he and Turk usually just stand around waiting to shoot 3s this game shows how the Magic can play when they run. Just like the Magic did against the cavs in the last one in orlando they could not keep up if they tried . you and barkley are absolutely right, and the best thing is, it requires absolutely no sacrifice on dwights part. he still is gonna get plenty of touches, cause no big man can keep up with him from line to line. and if the game slows down we can run through him. itll be perfect for alston cause her is at his best in the open floor. same for hedo cause of his size and playmaking abilities. we can run slower teams like boston and cleveland right out of the gym and again if we have to slow it down in a defensive half court game we can, weve done it all year

they say hes gonna have to wear a mask.... Rip Hamilton 2.0 anyone?
