Yes this is a rap song but this is relating to the Magic. In order to against the Bulls, we have to make it rain on them .....s. (Traslation for the white people is "shoot the lights out on those fools") But this is'nt dealing with making it rain. My main focus is who is going to make it rain against us? Luol Deng Ben Wallace? Kirk Heirick Chris Duhon Andres Nocioni* Ben Gordon These are the make it rain candidates but I choose Gordon. I dislike the smurk seen on his face when he plays basketball against the Orlando Magic.

With the combination of the best Foward/Center combo in the league(Dwight Howard, Darko Milicic, Trevor Ariza, Grant Hill, Hedo Turkoglu, Tony Battie, Bo Outlaw, James Augustine) and the youngest and talented guards(Keyon Dooling, Keith Bogans, Carlos Arroyo, J.J. Redick, Jameer Nelson, and Travis Diener) you may wonder to the thought of why we aren't winning. One of these two groups are not living up to their jobs. MAGIC GUARDS PROBLEMS: Jameer Nelson: Jaming Jameer fails to make wide open shots and does'nt make necessarily good plays. He does not use slashing to his advantage when he knows he can take anyone off the dribble. His freethrow percentage is incredibly low for a point guard and his turnovers are mind boggling. Said to be a shooting guard in a point guards body but his passing skills are underated and sometimes overrated because he passes whiile jumping and does'nt pass that often to be known as one of the leagues "better" point guards. Carlos Arroyo: Most of this season, Carlos Arroyo has been selfish overall and has the greatest pass capablity from what I've seen 'if' he passes. Assist ratio is down and that slump has left some fans to think he is non other than a point guard that won't accept his backup role. He has the capablity of shooting threes which I haven't seen eversince the drought and his midrange has been off lately. Fails to make wideopen shots practically most of the time Travis Diener: He does'nt even deserve the blame but he deserves playing time. He is equally skilled to the other point guards in my opinion but needs a season to prove it. Known as a shooter and possibly Steve Nash's second coming even though he is still in the NBA. He has great passing skills on the break but due to his unselfishness, he barely gets his opportunity to shoot. Keyon Dooling: Said to be a sorry player when he makes excellent plays on defense and could be an answer to our offense. Dooling is an underrated slasher who does'nt utilize that slashing capability(0-10mph to the basket and past the defender and can dunk it that fast). Keyons mid range shooting and three point shooting has been overall off on the whole season but not the last game. His free throw shooting has lowered this year. The Defense is great but he could do better on offense if he received that opportunity. J.J. Redick: In a few games, his shooting was off but overall is a 40 percent three point shooter and second on the team in that category. Known as a draft bust in the media but everyone on this board knows that the media does'nt actually know whats going on. Defense is nearly average but has gone to stretches where he is a manacan looking at a guard dash pass him. Offense is reliable and can be consistent with more years to come in the NBA. Redick has not been given the opportunity to probe himself due to lacking minutes. Learn the ways of the Rip and the Reggie. Keith Bogans: "An animal" someone has called him but his minutes have been cut down because of...... Very consistent three point shooter and can make his free throws. Keith bogans has gotten into feuds with the team's......... Bogans has not posed a problem overall but is lacking athleticism. He can do the D though. He's known as one of our three defensive stoppers. Guards Overall: They fail to hustle and handle the ball like a guard should. These guards in particular don't crash the long defensive boards and at least attempt to snatch an offensive board. I've seen no consistent fire from them and the D has been "ghastly" and unbelievably idiotic from them. They simply watch as the oppositions leading scorer shoots an open shot even though they have time to get to that player and contest the shot before its released. These players mishandle the ball leading into turnovers such as carries, travels, opposing opponent steals, stepped on the line, and even offensive fouls. They force the issue(Passing the ball to the double team fowards when they know the defensive is ready to intercept and steal the ball. These guards have failed to make a traditional 80-85 percent free throw percentage. Inconsitency proves that they have been American off the court(Lazy and not working out to get in shape). *****That was a long post but not to insult the guards, just to point out what their problems are. I will post my anaylsis on the fowards and centers tomorrow.

Excellent. I hate that the Magic have so much time between games but I bet they don't. Its time redeem yourselves and win the rest of your remaining games.

Whoa nice. I see a change in Magic font color Cool

You guys.....just amazing. I had a feeling something other than Jersey designs were being made here.

quote: Originally posted by Kramer:Where we were- Last season we barely got into the playoffs with the eigth spot and a sub-500 record and we were swept by the Pistons. We fired our Head Coach Brian Hill and we almost get Billy Dononvan. Yes, we were going to let a college coach with no experiance in the pros coach one of the most talented teams in the East. What we have- We got a real Head Coach in SVG who has enough job security to call out our super star and tell him to work harder defensively. We have 2 really good small fowards in Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis, even though he is being labeled as a bust, his 11,000 points bring him credability that if he played small foward, he would be very effective. We have a front office competent enough to resign our best player and his best friend. We are in first in a very weak divison but we are in first so that is an accomplishment. We would, if the playoffs began today, be in the third spot in the East which is a huge improvement over last season. What we need- Some defensive intensity but do you know where that comes from? The answer is stability at the Head Coach position. NBA Coast to Coast said something I found interesing during West Coast Bias when they commented on how maybe SVG is calling out Dwight because he has more security in his job than Brian Hill...That's good. A power foward is a necessity this season and many more to come but we don't really need a talented one, just an athletic one who prides themself on hustle and defense. We are lucky in that we will need basically NO offense so we could even use our lower 20s draft selection on a power foward. What we need more than anything is patience. Dynasties don't happen over night and we are where we are with Dwight Howard only being 22. Am I the only one who sees it this way? Or am I being a huge homer? No my friend, we think likewise. Patient is a virtue. If our veteran power forward hadn't been injured, this wouldn't have been a problem.

JJ doesn't get efficient minutes to witness his defensive effectiveness. I concur.

Mhmm

Top 10 Albums you say? I thought it would be easier for your greatest song ever but its been hard for me too. Ouch, I think I hurt myself.

Benefits: No Injury Risks More time to rest his body Time to think and fill the pits in his style of play "Soak Up The Sun" and enjoy time off

What the hell was that all about lol. You kids......

For the posters who are on so many free agents, Brian Hill, and some other subjects, I've wondered and somewhat meditated with the deliberation of the organization's impending draft pick. I've discerned....infrequent amounts of data about the incoming draft picks.... Does anyone part of the Forum have any draft possibly play with our current team in the future?

Someone needs to show that same play we did in every game this season to get Dwight the ball. 82 games straight.

Focus is not enjoying the win. Focus is getting the win and then saying, that means nothing, we've got more to go." ... Once again, G Richard Hamilton was knocked to the ground when Orlando G Jameer Nelson was called for a flagrant foul. "I'm sick and tired of getting hit hard out there, I'll tell you that," Hamilton said. "But it's a part of the game. I know that's what people are trying to do. Like the Energizer Bunny, I'm going to take a licking and keep on ticking. It's going to be a dogfight. It's the playoffs." Rip ur a piece of work, if u wouldnt run into people u wouldnt get hit hard,, u little *****, maybe if u take tha tridiculous mask off, u could see better dumbasss.. Im tired of gettign hit hard as I roll on the floor as if Meer had stabbed when he barely grazed u.. Just so you know rich, if RIP breaks his nose one more time, its done for. Then he'll look like this guy, only blacker..... Man.....he should have stopped on surgery number 1.

What do you expect.

Please don't ever mention plane crashes. I remember there was a movie made for some Marshall school who lost there entire football team because of a plane crash. That would be the most unforgettable loss in probably American and NBA history.

Don't even get me started on alcohol..............

Yeah Yeah......good luck for the playoffs.

We have two threads on the same topic from two different Detroit Pistons fans. You know the odds of this happening.

LetGoMagic, he meant as in booing the other team and complaining about any call even though its right. I guess you aren't that inpirational of a person. Live it up. Isn't your name Lets Go Magic....wheres the Lets Go Magic in you?

I voted, we must lure more posters here Kaishen. Mods don't move this. Lets win something for Grant for once!!!
