    They are not going to get rid of Hill now ...so I don't worry about it...

     

    B. Hill will be dealt with later.

     

    I love how at the begining of the season you and most everyone else (including me!) were talking about our run deep in the playoffs...

     

    now you post during our run FOR the playoffs...i never thought it would be this bad...

    I agree with emory for the most part but what if perhaps lets say our point guard did the dribbling up the court and pentration if needed but man if JJ was the point man on offensive side where he was distributing the ball as the person Hill wants to have passing you saw how much beter our passing became when JJ was brought in. I dont think i've ever seen Jameer or arroyo pass the ball as well as JJ was doing last night.

    i love this post!!! it makes me look past our deficiancies and remember why i love the magic! We are so lucky in our drafting - what other team drafted 2 hall of fame centers... drafted a possible hall of famer (longshot) in penny... drafted but traded chris webber, chauncy billups, keyon dooling, mike miller, zaza pachulia...of course we've had our own really bad ones but it seems that we're never in between. They're either good or awesome or really bad

    lol...you got me right on.

     

    I know how to play B-ball but understanding offensive plays and defensive schemes i dont get all the time. I was just posting those things that seem to happen and in my mind look odd or seem wrong. I'm gonna watch the game tonight does anybody watch it on HD? We should get a magic board get together somewhere and watch the game. If any ones down for that hit me up.

    My brain isnt thinking logically right now...or i just dont understand what they were saying Junkie!!

     

    Anyways i like the 5 year offer but lets make it 60 million - 12 mill a year thats great income for him and longevity and he gets all the benefits of being home... It doesnt really handicap us to long or to much if he becomes injured in his 2nd or 3rd year and it almost certaintly means he can retire here...

    MAn its been a while since i actually posted my thought on stuff. After reading almost everything and watching all magic games since january and my limited basketball knowledge i thought i would point out some things and you guys let me know if you are watching the same things and wondering the same thing. These in no way reflect tonights particular game.

     

    I will start with Jameer - Does anyone else notice his passes arent crisp? Have you guys noticed he doesnt keep his head all the way up scanning the court when dribbling? Is it just me or does he tend to drive straight into a double tema nad doesnt seem to know how which way to go when darko or dwight sets a pick? And what is with the head fake and then shoot? especially from the 3. DO you think you can just drive and shoot a wild shot and hope dwight gets it and you get an assist?

     

    Now Dwight - not much except that after 4 or 5 T/O's you shouldnt try to spin in the lane. Look for the pass. ALso you are not KG you cannot take many ppl off the dribble. Again where is the pass to the person cutting to the basket after they double team? better yet where is the person cutting to the basket when dwight is doubled? and why does 'oberto look like an allstar rebounder against you??

     

    Hedo - If you are shooting 1-6 why are you not asking the coach to sit you since you obviously are struggling that night. Also why do you not cut to the basket when dwight is doubled? also where did you get the idea that a pass was doing a handoff to jameer or arroyo running past you and then they stop right behind you?? who developed that play??

     

    Arroyo - When you have a 2 or 3 on 1 fast break why do you pull up 15ft away and shoot the ball? also when you are open 18ft out for a split second why do you shoot the ball? You are not a spot up shooter. You dont even stand still you're usually falling forward...thats even worse for your aim then falling away! Where are your're crisp passes for a point guard? At least you have protected the ball the last couple of games.

     

    Darko, darko, darko... what can i say but run through the lane to the basket when dwight gets the ball!

     

    JJ - This is the NBA you dont have to shoot every 3 point shot 6 feet behind the arc!! this isnt college anymore where you want to practice NBA 3's.... hit the screen and ball hog it every chance you get. You wont get many. And why do you always choose the wrong way to run through a screen and your man gets way too open...

     

    Keith bogans -Are you even playing the same game? Where is your cut to the basket? you float around on the outside which is good but man take it to the hole.

     

    Trevor - i cant think of anything to say

     

    Keyon - why do you drive the baseline with two defenders and then get trapped behind the glass and make a bad pass?? Like the energy though

     

    One note for B. Hill... can you please freakin play augustine!! it couldnt hurt...

     

    ALSO just for the team - why is it everytime you THINK you got fouled and didnt get the call you stand there and look perplexed with your arms outstretched while the other team is on the fast break. And what is up with turnovers?? do you guys know how to keep control of the rock? I'd make you do 20 laps around the arena (oustide in 89 degree weather)for every turnover.. and why is outlaw the only one making hustle plays?? hes 79 years old and you guys are 21!!!

     

     

    Does anybody else see this stuff or am i way out of line?

    Yes we share your sentiments, hopefully this nightmare of a coach we have is gone soon. I know it'll be the happiest moment for me this season, hands down!

    hey i rememebr a few ppl being rankled from your first 600 posts or so JD...

     

    I think at the time most of them seemed like fluff and brought nothing but positive platitudes of i believe and stuff..

     

    However you've worn away my gruff exterior and become part of the fam (even if your still to positive!)... and i was sorely dissapointed with this latest game thread and was hoping that this next one was going to be back your format.

     

    So here i am knocing down a shot of JD in JD's honor
