What I was going to lead to was the fact that even ESPN alluded to the notion that there was one-sided officiating in that series. It was basically another blow to the "magic fans are delusional about the calls for lebron" theory. as much as you dislike Lebron its hard to not admit how dominant he is and how special of a player he is.

A sleeper in the second round will be Jon Scheyer. Everyone hears that he is not athletic, no lateral quickness, and is a slow white player from Duke, but this kid can seriously play. He has the best basketball IQ in probably all of College Basketball, has great size for a PG, can be a combo guard, shoots 3's very well, hits big shots, plays his heart out every game, plays OK defense, does not commit turnovers, and something about him refuses to lose. He is the kind of guy you want to be a back up combo guard for you. The first slow, white kid from Duke worked out pretty well for us.

because god currently plays in the NBA, and his name is Lebron James.

Why are we going to resign JJ after the year? JJ played 11 minutes the last game and this game he has 6 minutes right now. It is obvious that Stan wants to play Carter extended minutes and look how much Redick's minutes have went down the last month. It makes no sense to keep him considering he is going to want more money then our back up shooting guard should get, plus he is too talented to sit on the bench and play 10 minutes a game. So either stan should start playing him a little more or lets get rid of him. This is not at all a thread bashing Redick, infact he is my favorite player in the NBA. I just don't understand why we are going to resign him with a big contract and play him 10 minutes per game.

I am not a troll for having an opinion asswhipe.

I mean we just beat figgin LA You really have a lack of knowledge of who I am. I am not a jerk because I feel bad for a kid that has not gotten much of a chance his whole career after being player of the year in College Basketball. Next time before you go out calling people names actually think what you are saying.

quote: Originally posted by echo4papa:He has proven himself in this league. He has value. If the price is right, he should be re-signed. That price is based on his talent, not his minutes. That was my point. He is a talented player. His career is just being ruined by playing 10 minutes a game. He should play somewhere else.

I know I am bias because I am a big Redick fan, but how is this game at all his fault. He was 4-8. He did not shoot poorly. He played Solid Defense, and since he missed one shot at the end of the game he is getting blamed for the loss. Carter game in and game out misses big shots. He can't seem to make a shot when it matters. If anyone the blame should be for the no show from Carter and Lewis. The blame goes on Lewis and Carter for not showing up, but this has been the theme the whole season.

we lost because we don't hit shots. Lewis and Carter killed us with the missed shots. We also went down low when the jump shots were not falling and nothing was falling for Dwight so we lost. We can't adjust to David West. We are not going to not play Lewis at all because he can not guard him. We have enough fire power to score 130 points in a game, but when Carter and Lewis don't hit shots then they bring nothing to this team.

I am definitely not a Vince hater, but is Van Gundy out of his mind? Vince Carter has been solid the last month. Not great, but solid. Just because he is playing solid the last ten games stan basically is taking away JJ's minutes. JJ has been solid all year, Vince has not. That is just not fair to JJ to take away his minutes. JJ also moves the ball much better then Vince, and its not like he is not willing to score. Shard also should not be playing with the bench. Anderson is a maturing player, and it will only hurt if we bench him. I don't know if Stan is Crazy or just wants to get these guys more confidence going into the playoffs, but the solution is not to wipe out two of your best bench players.

He played amazing tonight, and the last 5 games or so he has been pretty good in most of them. I just hope he keeps it up. The one problem though is that I still have a bad feeling that Vince might go back to his slump. He is so inconsistent, which worries me, but he was amazing tonight and the reason that we won. The one problem though I see is that, JJ got 6 minutes tonight. There is no way we have any shot at keeping him if he is getting 6 minutes. He is too good of a player to get 6 minutes. Unless we go with Both Redick or Carter in the lineup, one of them will not be here next year. Although Carter played unreal tonight, JJ is a player for the future. This is VC's last year. We can't give Redick 6 minutes, and expect him to stay next year. I really think that a VC and Redick lineup with Dwight, Rashard and Jameer would work. In all honesty, Matt Barnes is only a slight bit better of a defender then both Carter and JJ. Barnes does not bring much of an offensive game. He is a little bit better on defense then Vince and JJ but he brings absolutely no offense. The other problem is that down the stretch tonight, it was just hard watching MP in the lineup. He is a good player, but under no circumstances deserves to be in the game at the end. He commits many turnovers, takes very stupid shots, and commits many dumb fouls. He might be able to stay in front of his defender a little better then JJ or Vince but he makes some of the stupidest plays I have seen. Tonight was a nice win but Stan has to figure out what he is going to do with our SG/SF's because I promise you that if JJ gets 6 minutes per game this season, he definitely will leave and we will be stuck with VC for one year then we won't have any shooting guards. Vince has been such a fun player to watch in the NBA and I respect him tremendously, but I can't see him contributing well for more then another year, I am not even so sure that he will keep contributing positively this year. My point is that we got a huge win, and VC was amazing tonight and he deserves a lot of praise, but giving JJ 6 minutes in a game will not end up well for us. Vince was hot, that's why redick didn't get much playing time. Not too long ago there was a game where redick was hot and it was vince on the bench. Vince has never played 6 minutes in a game this season that he was healthy enough to play in.

great game by Vince but come on its ONE GAME. Even Pat Garrity had a couple good games in a magic uniform. He was amazing tonight, no doubt about that, but he has been decent in 2 games since the start of 2010. I can't take the things back i said about him until he proves it more consistently. I also have a major problem with JJ getting 6 minutes. Its not just because I am a major JJ Redick fan and he is my favorite player in the NBA, but I am worried that he will leave if this pattern keeps up. That was just my 2 cents though.

quote: Originally posted by magicfan83:Vince was great today. If he plays at this level we are a championship-level team. In all honesty, he deserves to be booed. He played very well today, and I will give him props for that. Well Done Vince! Besides tonight, he has been absolutely horrible and a cancer to our team. He played well tonight, but he deserves to be booed until he gets more consistent.

I don't understand why Redick is coming out of the game. Daniels is bigger then Redick so why don't we put Redick on Tony Allen who is the same height as Redick. Lets let Peaches guard Daniels rather then bringing in Carter who is the worst perimeter defender on the team. It makes no sense. Daniels will scorch Carter.

quote: Originally posted by COLOMBIANO:I really hate those Sunday afternoon games. No Pierce? We win. Carter goes nuts and takes 20 shots, but will only make 6. The SVG gets upset when someone will ask him about VC's shooting slump. The sad thing is that's a pretty good shooting game for VC.

I don't understand how you could possibly put no blame on Vince for this loss. He took one of the stupidest shots I have ever seen when we needed to score, he shot 5-17, and for gods sake Butler made him look like a pre schooler on defense the whole game. Vince is the worst defender on the team, and right now I have more confidence with Dwight or Gortat shooting a clutch jumper at the end of the game. Carter is absolute garbage and a cancer to this team. We ****** up badly over paying this old ****, and now we are stuck with him. I can't think of one game in 2010 where he played decent. Tell me what makes this guy good. I am wondering what all the Wince supporters out there have to say about how he played tonight.

Wince lost the game for us. He is so pathetic. No defense at all, he took the most impossible shot and he shot about 5-20.

what are they doing with Barnes in the game. Put JJ in. He can hit a shot unlike wince.

Vince is now 3-9 and JJ is 3-5. Tell me who is more effective from stats? Meanwhile JJ was the first 2nd unit player to come out of the game, so Vince can miss another 5 shots without making a shot, meanwhile playing no defense. Why is Vince in the Game? Someone explain this logic to me. Because you are a idiot you are the idiot. Vince is a cancer to this team. He has had 1 decent game in the last 2 months. What will it take for you to realize that his career is washed up at this point? He is not a good player anymore. His whole game is basically Jump shots, and he misses more wide open jump shots then most DIII college basketball players. His defense is atrocious, and Redick is so much more effective then Carter, in much less minutes.

Tonight proved that we can win a championship. Dwight played great again, VC picked it up, and JJ was ballin once again. We are a very talented team. What we need is Vince to keep this production up. Imagine a 4th quarter crunch time lineup of Jameer/J Will Redick VC Rashard Superman That Lineup is better then the Lakers in my opinion. The way JJ is playing right now and if Vince picks it up I would expect us to win a title this year.

I think his defense has got much better and is at the level that he can go up against any shooting guard in the NBA. Obviously he won't shut down Kobe or Wade, but the truth is no one can and he is now much more respected as a defender. His defense is not great, but it is at the appropriate level to be able to start in this league. I don't see though how we can maintain him coming off the bench next year. There are going to be teams that are offering him more money then us and a starting role. Otis has to realize that Redick is much more valuable that that Clown Carter.
