UnderPressure

Top Ten EIGHT Reasons to Hate the Magic 1. I'm way to old for Disney World 2. I'm way to young to even think about retirement 3. Driving in Orlando after Old Country Buffet early bird is over out might get scary. 4. Orlando is to close to Miami. 5. Darko might hit you with his car (in 2005 in Detroit he was always in the news for speeding violations) 6. I'm afraid that Dwight Howard might put a sticker on my forehead. 7. You guys made the playoffs (I know its cruel... but we had your first round pick this year, alot of us were hoping lottery) 8. There will be way to many "I believe in Magic" posters at every game. *This is all in good fun, no harm meant.

Not asking Pistons fans opinions. Sorry. Need the scoop from a different fan base.

Any of you Magic fans ever hear of this guy before? I'm just checking on the hype meter from other fan bases. Have you heard of him, if you have what have you heard? Also if you have heard at least a little about him would you sign him next year for a 8 mil 2 year contract.

Oh and also that little 4 yr old boy, crying in the stands with a sign that says "I Still Believe!" LOL LOL, LOL, LOL, "I Still Believe" Ever heard of CLASS Chauncey4Three, lets not try to be like Ohio State fans here....

Lets be real though, your team beating the Pistons in a 7 game series is comparable to one of you trailer kids winning the lotto. I don't get it? Are you saying we live in trailers? 8 Mile must be nice this time of year. Haha 15 mile is where its happening! Represent! Ok yeah I think its possible you could beat us, I mean the chances are very very slim, but hey anything is possible in the crazy world of sports. I think your best chances is you need to steal one of the first two in Detroit, if you can do that (is possible the pistons home record is actually worse then their road) then all you need to do is to control your floor. Defend your home court, and the next think you know you got a 6 or 7 game series. If you cant get one of those first two the chances are very slim.

Then traded him to free cap space to re-sign Ben Wallace, only to not. We can't Boo Joe Dumars man, he has done way to much for this franchise. He transformed this team from the Teal days with Hill to one of the premier, if not the premier NBA team. Trading an aging Stackhouse and Hill for a little to no named Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton. Then taking a chance on Chauncey Billups, someone who never seemed to mesh with any other team. Next, he drafts Prince with the 26th pick. Name 5 better players in the 2003 NBA, draft, I bet you cant. And the list goes on.... trading for Rasheed Wallace, who has been considered a liablity for his whole career, which eventually let to the championship. Its amazing to think about, this whole team is Joe Dumars creation, the outcome of his genius and knowledge of the game. He knows what it takes, and who it takes to build a successful NBA team. I mean in Detroit, everyone just was left with a bad taste in their mouths with the whole Darko thing. We could of had Wade, Carmelo or even Bosh, but instead we get Darko. And we really cant be mad at Dumars, yeah he made a bad decision, but you would of asked most GM's at that time, they would of done the same thing, Lebron at 1 and Darko at 2. We were just waiting around for years waiting for Darko to bloom, he would show signs of developing at some points, and at others he would look so lost, even confused on the court. Eventualy we just all couldn't take it anymore, either live up to that number 2 pick or get out to make room for someone else.

Hey fellow pistons fans, I'm here too! To all magic fans, I hope we have a good, clean and classy series and let the best team win. Oh and just to tell you guys, and not to be rude but when you make it into the playoffs the team you are playing will constantly flood your message boards. Its all cool unless they are Miami Heat fans. You can spot one of these cats out by their lack of English skills and their inability to find the caps lock key. (some heat fans are cool though)
