    Dwight still talking about the refs..

    Yeah really poor decision for him to post that or authorize posting that. I think John Denton? helps him with his blog. I'm sure Dwight has people who advise him that are close to him(family and friends). I just cant believe that he would be getting the advice to keep harping on this? Let's hope those close advisors are not the same ones who will be representing him instead of his agent from now on. Another poor decision to make this time of year, to leak he's letting his agent go. Dwight if your reading this please just go play ball. Let the Magic organization get your back. And for God's sake quit calling yourself a STAR player, everyone knows you are you dont have to reiterate it in your blog. Be humble and just go to work. At some point you just have to have faith.
  2. I think the guy was just saying that he doesn't church it up. You know he could afford tailored suits but doesn't bother. but dang LOD you took offense at that suit comment..
  3. As I was reading that article a single tear of happiness rolled down my cheek.
  4. yeah boring just keeping it real,was at the first game, been to the finals in 94/95, and again last year. Go when I can with my son who grew up with the magic.. were fans to the end. enjoy reading ya'lls f'd up names its a trip.

    Time to Shut Vince Down

    Vince is broken down and just short of completly washed up. It might have been worth the risk but its tough to take now. Jeez I miss Courtney Lee. I wish we could somehow buy out Vince or find some other way to rid ourselves of him and trade to get Lee back in here. He didnt need the ball to be effective and the chemistry and flow was obviously better with him. Short of that missed layup in game 2 last season he had been terrific. Now its like watching a bad movie, you keep waiting for a something, anything to make you feel better about whats happening. sign....

    Magic will NOT trade Gortat......

    amazing how his game has regressed. He has gone from being borderline starter on most teams to a 7ft coatrack.

    Leadership is missing

    Would it be that turkish guy? I think thats reaching but the chemistry did seem better last year, almost like everyone knew what thier role was. I guess thats the risk you take when you add so many new guys. As far as Jameer before injury last year he was doing a great job leading the team, just hasn't been able to stay on the court this year. I read this morning NJ bought out Rafer.

    Leadership is missing

    Tough loss last night, but our problems seem deeper than one game. Whos the leader on this team. The last time we had a clear cut leader was last season before Jameer went out, he was doing a great job, all-star pg leadership type of job. This year we have new players and no defined leader. Jameer-too injured to lead this season yet Dwight-He can say he's the leader but saying it doesnt make it so. Somethings missing from his skillset to be a leader, he may never be the leader of this team. Rashard-too softspoken,doenst play with enough intensity to lead. Vince-to worried about pissing off Howard and Nelson? too old? Barnes-not respected enough, too new thats the starters, and your team leader starts. Other contenders... Lakers-Kobe obviously Cavs- Lebron unfortunalty Boston- KG, like him or not he's intense as hell and a great leader on the court Denver- Billups, as we know, sure wish we couldve got him when available. I dont know just seems like we are lacking that piece. Hopefully SVG and Otis can figure this out before too long. Does anyone else feel this way?

    Anderson needs YOUR help!

    quote: Originally posted by HighAngleEd:MISSING!!!!!! ATTN: All Magic fans During the past few games, it has become apparent that Anderson has lost his outside shot. It was probably left in Orlando on Nov 2nd, when the team left for Detroit. If any of the Insiders on the board know of the whereabouts, or if the janitors accidentally threw it out by mistake, please return to Anderson immediately. Thank you. Just found it buried in Brandon Bass's locker.
  12. quote: Originally posted by Soul Bro:I think Dwight needs to grow a bushy mustache to appease SVG. In fact, the whole team should do it. That's a great idea, have we ever done a promo night for that. I'm thinking paper/cardboard punchout moustache's given out at the doors with a rubber band like a party hat for everyone to wear. Sweet.
  13. quote: Originally posted by bravlady:What usually happens when a team leader takes it on to address issues with the boss, they wind up gettin thrown under the bus. Dwight may want to look for tread marks up his back. If I were SVG I'd tell them to play my way or pack up your Nikes and go home. This is the NBA, normal rules dont apply. It's the coach who will be shown the door if he doesnt keep his superstar happy. Hopefully they can develop a Duncan/Pops relationship.
  14. quote: Originally posted by Tough Break There:And I actually noticed live at the game Wednesday that SVG seemed to be encouraging Dwight as well as the other players. You always play harder for someone that believes in you. There's no doubt that SVG was starting to tear into the guys a bit to much. He's exhausting enough to even watch for 3 hours on TV, imagine that intensity every day for months. This explains the strange shape I saw Stan's face contort into during Wed. game. I've never seen the corners of his mouth turn up and his teeth like that. First I thought it might be gas but now I realize it must of been a smile. Good news, he is exhausting, would've made a great drill sargent. I think this team is mature enough to take a good *** chewing now and then when needed, they all want to win. I hope Stan can achieve his goal, should make everyone relax a little and play our game. With this much talent and desire they have matured into a team that doesnt need ripped 24/7.

    Barnes NEEDS to start over Pietrus

    Barnes is fine with me starting provided he doesnt start chucking shots if its not falling. I say just decide on the starting 5 already and barring ankles and the flu let's see how we look after 15 or so games which is what SVG is trying to do I think. Either way we need chemistry right now out of starting 5 and dont have it. Vince looks undecisive at times on both ends of the floor and I hope he finds his niche' soon. I believe it will come together now that Shard is back.
