Thanks Lewis. I agree with everything you said. I'm glad someone stepped in to put a stop to this nonsense. I have not seen this kind of pettiness on any other websites or forums. What I like about Junkie is his fortitude. He handles the criticisms like a man. Whereas when I got flamed, I took it personally. I've learned a lot from BJ.

ESPN will be talking to Dwight. They are talking football right now (10:25 am), but should bring Dwight on between now and 11:00 am.

Dwight is on ESPN NOW!

In the Chris Paul (now HOF) thread, message board members started panicking after LeBron announced he was signing with the Miami Heat. Posters started inquiring as to where Moldy Hobo was. It was hilarious.

By Bill Cody (Featured Columnist...Bleacher Report) on August 4, 2010 "I have to admit. I am really baffled by the fans who think the Miami Heat are shoo ins for the NBA title next year. This is a team that has serious problems and nothing that Pat Riley has done since signing the big three has done anything to change that. First of all, the premise that these are three of the best players in the NBA is patently false as far as I am concerned. I'll give you Wade and LeBron but Chris Bosh? Puhleeze! Bosh is a nice player who's never been a real impact on the court. He has good stats. So did Vince Carter when he played for the Raptors. So did Elton Brand when he played for the Bulls and the Clippers. Brand actually took his team to the second round of the playoffs and received several MVP votes four years ago. Bosh has never done that. It's easy to have big stats when you're playing for a losing team. Great players make a team better. When they join a team it immediately gets better: Tim Duncan as a rookie for the Spurs, Shaquille O'Neil when he went to Orlando, the Lakers and the Miami Heat. Bosh has never shown himself to be a great player. The Raptors were mediocre before Bosh and they'll be mediocre after Bosh. It will also be interesting to see how Bosh reacts to being the third fiddle. How's he going to handle it when he gets 10 touches for an entire game. How's he going to react when he doesn't even get double digit points in some games. Then there's the two main stars. I'll be honest, I love Dwayne Wade. Unlike Bosh with the Raptors, the Miami Heat immediately got better as soon as Wade joined the team out of college. When Shaq joined the following year they won the title. Since then he's carried the team on his shoulders and made them much better than they should have been. But Wade has definite liabilities."

I don't care. . . . . .If you don't take my thread seriously. Btw, yes I do! :rolleyes: WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU?. . . *The Magic winning an NBA championship or watching great/entertaining "true blue" Magic basketball* I love a good game of basketball. I was born and raised in Florida and still reside here. Before the Orlando Magic franchise was established, I was a huge fan of the LA Lakers back in the day (Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper). That team was fun to watch, especially the magician himself, Magic Johnson. I know you might say that Jabbar's team won championships. Of course they did, but there was a stretch of seasons when they did not win NBA Champship Titles with that group (from 1988 thru 1999). Kareem was not with the Lakers at that time. He retired at the end of the 1988-89 season. Other teams started winning the title, such as the Detroit Pistons (Isaiah Thomas' team), Houston Rockets (Hakeem Olajuwon's team), the Bulls, and then the Spurs, etc. Magic Johnson was still with the Lakers, and for me, it didn't matter that they were no longer winning the national title. They remained in the top 2 or 3 in the league. I enjoyed watching them. It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters but on a professional level. They were still a really good team. I would love for the Orlando Magic to win a championship(s). But I started thinking about how far the team has come, and how fortunate we as fans are now. There are 30 NBA teams, and how many of those teams have not even won 1 division title, let alone make it into the playoffs. I don't like losing either, but in recent years the Magic have been winning a ton of games and at the same time so much fun to watch, with Dwight Howard leading the way. ************************************************* POLL: (Sorry, I don't know how to do the poll thingy, so just go ahead and reply in your own words or or type a number for your selection) QUESTION: What's important to you? 1. All I care about is winning a championship at all cost. 2. If the Magic does not win a championship, it's alright with me. . . . However. . . 3. I would not mind if the Magic does not win a championship as long as they bring it every night and stay above .500. 4. Winning a championship would be nice, but I love the Magic because they are entertaining and fun to watch. 5. It's in my blood. . .it's all or nothing. . . and I must face the fact that I need help. :headbang: 6. Other http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o89iKsKw19M *ALRIGHT, BEFORE YOU GET "CRAZY" ABOUT MY TOPIC. . .I'M NOT NOT TRYING TO CHANGE ANYONE'S MIND OR PERSPECTIVE. I'M STILL A DIEHARD MAGIC FAN.*

Hedos', I'm sorry you don't like the youtube video. The first picture of the youtube video (at the beginning of the thread) is a "still" picture. The one at the bottom of my thread is the actual video. I HAVE DELETED THE VIDEO! Edit: For those who did not see the video, it was the song "Do You Believe In Magic?" by the group 'The Loving Spoonfuls'.

Please disregard this thread. Another thread has already been posted on the topic. Sorry!

YOU HAVE TO READ THESE 2 ARTICLES, ESPECIALLY ARTICLE #2. Article #1 "A story that depicts LeBron James' night on the town last weekend at a Las Vegas hotel was pulled from ESPN's Los Angeles website Wednesday.". "The central part of the piece is centered at Tao, a nightclub and restaurant at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, with depictions of James, surrounded by Paul, four of James' childhood friends, a man who at one time was in a relationship with James' mother, Gloria, and two employees of Nike, his shoe endorser."

Thanks, LOD Just trying to find my way around this new layout.

I accidentally clicked on the plus (+) sign in the lower right corner of a member's post. There was a green circle with a plus sign and a red circle with a minus (-) sign. Those 2 signs disappeared and were replaced with the number 1 inside a green square. How do I remove the 1 and get the plus and minus signs back. Btw, what does that number 1 mean? Thanks!

Thanks Cunningstunt, and I'm sorry about that. I didn't go back far enough in the thread to pick up your post. Please accept my apology.

I have checked the last 3 pages and have not seen this posted by anyone. But the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Matt has not been signed by the Raptors. quote: Originally reported by the Orlando Sentinel - July 20, 2010 - 2:24 PM: "Matt Barnes remains in free-agent limbo" Here is the Link: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.c...ree-agent-limbo.html

quote: Originally posted by Darth Evil Dead:This has nothing at all to do with the magic...thread will have to be moved. At least it looks like Boston's run of the Big 3 is done. Pierce might try to join up with a free agent on some other squad. Looks like Doc probably wont be back in Boston now. This afternoon it was reported on ESPN that Doc Rivers said that he IS returning to coach the Celtics next season.

I don't know how true this is, but just ran across this article that said NBA Officials were waiting in the tunnel with Celtics 2010 Championship memorabilia packed in suitcases. I know, I know. . .the league has to be prepared for whichever team wins, but read the article, and you make the call. It was so funny the way the writer worded it. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/ne...-celticsfinale061810
