Not to start a whole new topic on this but does anyone know the chance or status that Travis will be here next year? Has he talked to Van Gundy? Thanks!!!

yeah good idea about drafting another PG, Travis & James could use another person to talk to on the bench. Jameer is Brain's man & I am sure Brian will make it work that Jameer is in a Magic uniform next season. Unless he is fired, you're not going to see any rookie PG in uniform next season that is for sure...btw, Devin went to school in Wisconsin which has recently brought some good players in the NBA.

...LET'S PLAY DIENER!!! Sorry I couldn't resist a last Diener-Orlando Magic Thread. Go Magic!

Travis & D-Wade, the Marquette connection again

And was Travis sitting down there tonight or was he up in the stands with his family & friends? I didn't see him. And that poor little Diener fan sitting behind the Magic wanting to see Travis play & dad having to explain to his son that yes monsters do exit & he coaches the Orlando Magic. BTW, Keep going Orlando!

I think it's going to be tough up in Milwaukee. The Bucks are still feeling the embarassement that they showed down here & will want to really give it to the Magic tonight. The Magic are going to need to cut down their TOs to get past Milwaukee tonight & more than likely Redd will be playing & he had a horrible game here in Orlando earlier this season. No more Stotts in Milwaukee also. Maybe Travis on the active roster tonight in his home state, oh wait Brian Hill is the coach, nevermind.

I like the Wake Up Brian Hill, that's great!

quote: Originally posted by michelle7:I think what bothers me the most is that it seems like at first scent that JJ is having an off game, he gets yanked and sits out the rest of the game. That only happens with certain players. The rest get to be god-awful with little to no change in their playing time. If I had any faith in Coach Hill, it wouldn't bother me so much, but I don't. I don't want to see what happened to Travis Diener happen to JJ. It already makes me sick enough seeing Travis in a suit every game. What a waste of talent. I could not agree with you more concerning Travis & I hope that JJ does have a promising career with Orlando but about Brian Hill, I have been voicing my frustration all season about not playing Travis that I have just gotten to a point that I am over it. And no matter how you look at it, seriously, they get in the playoffs & get kicked out right away by the Pistons, this will end the season which is plainly unaaceptable & a highly disappointing ending to a season where in all honesty, the East really sucked even more than usual this year.

I havent heard anything about that- the last I read, they we predicting he would end up at Kentucky. I really hope that the Magic retain TD, I have this faint hope that placing him on the Inactive was a way to NOT showcase him, Out of sight, out of mind for other teams,kinda thing. Also people wanting a PG this summer have a buttload of talent thruought the draft, and would go that direction or maybe look for a more seasoned guy than him- with that being said, and against all probabilty, I think the Magic need to admit Jameer isnt the guy - nor is 'Los... we need consitancy out there, and the guy who can make the pass out wide-open shot. Not a guy who will take shots away from others like both meer- and CA do. It surely will be an interesting summer! I hope that keep him also & give him PLAYING TIME but yeah I heard it on ESPN 1080 on Tuesday morning. Rick Majerus mentioned it & said that Pat more than likely will retire with his health & D-Wade maybe pulling for Crean to come down to Miami

If the rumor that Tom Crean going to Miami to be the head coach next year would come true, I think Travis would also probably be heading down there to play for his college coach & D-Wade.

this is the obvious but our offense really needs to pick up...I mean this was a double OT game & we didn't even score 100...an offense like probably wouldn't be around long against a higher seed team in the playoffs.

Is Bhill learning how to use the roster? Good Job coach. Keep it up. I think Pat is telling Brian what to do. Maybe this is how we put together that two game win streak. Travis is also contributing to the coaching staff also.

quote: Originally posted by Kberto:I'd be mad to if that goal tending wasn't called. But hey, for once a bad call went our way. Could not agree more with you, just that one call coulda have cost us the game in terms of momentum change.

Way to win Magic PLAYERS! Redick showed how he was more than a rookie hitting those free throws down the end, if only they would have invested more into Travis Diener like they are doing with JJ but I won't get into that again. And Jameer going amongst the big guys to get that board was awesome. Still not getting any respect from me to Brian Hill but good win for the Magic PLAYERS & keep it up!

Magic 112 Nets 101 Travis Diener with a triple double & Hedo with the JC Penny business suit on. and maybe 8 boards from Darko

lol, hedo turdkulo is playing like his name suggests...like crap...and jameer, wow...b hill, c'mon get dooling going again or maybe you can try carlos or maybe you can try Bo at PG..lol..what a joke.

Good news for Travis, he'll get to sit on the bench & not in a business suit & maybe get put in with a minute to go in the game if it's a blowout...YEAHH! umm wait a second isn't Pat Garrity on the IR also..hmm who would Brian Hill pick...hmmm, lol.

quote: Originally posted by KT:Marquette alum and permanent Travis Diener fan here. I am just wondering why the Magic refuse to play him or play him for 43 seconds. I am hoping they trade him to a team who will let him do what he loves to do- play basketball. Orlando is going nowhere fast with their current guards; I just don't get it! Cannot agree with you more. I live down here now & was hoping that Diener would succeed here in Orlando but I went to high school in the same town that Travis lived (Fond du Lac) & we played against Goodrich in our season where Travis was on. I pray he stays here in Orlando only if he gets PT but if he doesn't, I'm sure D-Wade could talk him in for some playing time in Miami which could be very bad news for us in Orlando.

And with Brian Hill being the head coach, I really couldn't see Travis being back next year, right? So they will have to use Dooling as the back-up PG to the new starting one if they go that route..

And also the fact of bringing Dooling in as the back-up PG is a really kick in the face for Travis. Basically that was the last say for Brian Hill & as long as Hill is here, Travis will not be. Sad...

I know for a fact that Hill not playing Diener is what really fuels me to get Hill out of here & to have Diener stay here in Orlando & maybe become a main contributor with this team.

quote: Originally posted by ball junkie:Dooling at the point has been effective again. They even put Jameer at the shooting guard for awhile. Dooling, sure, yeah right...was wishin this was the game that Hill would be fired even thought Otis said he wouldn't go & I am behind him...whata joke.

Dooling did a good job last night but seriously if I was Travis Diener, I would feel so dejected. Here they are not starting Arroyo behind Jameer & even though he was a PG for the Miami Heat, they still have Dooling come in even though throughout the season he's been at SG & has done good? Diener's days are over with this team & I cannot wait until he comes back to Orlando in a different uniform & shows possibly what they could have had if he gets with a team that puts some development into him.
