You're Fat, Pat!

You can't fight any harder than this team did tonight. These circumstances are practically impossible to get a W, so the fact that they were in this till the end speaks volumes. Gotta love the effort from EVERYONE out there. Like you all, not a fan of Jameer's shot at the end of regulation. Would have liked to stick to our guns that got us to that point all night (say, passes perhaps?) I think Stan had something better drawn up that either fell apart, or Jameer decided wasn't gonna have a better chance than he would. Once that shot was blocked, you just knew it was over. Now you've got to think that the Magic get blown out in Denver...I mean, hop on a plane for an hour, go to hotel, sleep this one off (Guys played a TON tonight though...I mean, Big Baby played 45 mins!), with a tip time of 8pm ET in Denver (altitude, anyone?) I just don't see them coming CLOSE tomorrow. I'd be pleased with anything better than a 20-point loss at this point, setting up a mad scramble for 6th place on Wednesday and Thursday. What a crazy season.

Woj has always been one of my favorites, but I think that this article has cemented him as my #1 NBA writer. Fantastic stuff.

1. Ryan Anderson & JJ 2. Q-Rich 3. Big Baby 4. Wafer 5. Jameer

I like them as well. Looks like we're going to battle. Awesome.

Per O-Sen's Josh Robbins' Twitter, "#Magic player Glen Davis fined $35,000 for flipping off a fan during Monday night's game in Toronto." Remember this? I just think that's super funny. Especially since BBD thought he could get away with it, since he was just taking care of the blood on his finger. hahaha.

Per Stefan Bondy of New York Daily News: "Deron Williams tells the Daily News: "I will not opt-in. Its not monkey see, monkey do."" "DWill says the next place he plays is where he wants to retire." "So to clarify, Deron says he will definitely become a free agent after the season and weigh his options" hahahaha oh man this is gettin good.

Agreed. It was worth it, if you ask me. Dwight is borderline hero. If he ends up bringing a championship (whether now or later) to this city, he'd be right up there with some of the biggest sports heroes ever. So worth it.

THIS is why this thread needed to stay alive today. Holy schnikies that is funny.

What thaaaa....

What thaaaa....

Nate McMillan has been fired, per Woj. Wow.

BRIAN COOK TRADED TO WASHINGTON. (per Spears) Pooorrrr Cookie Monster. :( EDIT: REUNITED WITH MO EVANS. hahahahahahahaha 2008 Magic, STAND UP.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Woj: "The Clippers have traded for Washington's Nick Young as part of a three-way deal, source tells Y! Sports."

Score.

I say we ROLL THE DICE.

Just think about the possibilities. Sure 8,900 posts are great, but don't you want better? Maybe even greener grass? You're better than this, Drain-O. Go for 9,000 posts. It's just the best business decision you can make in your career.

Drain-O, don't listen to them. You gotta keep this going. Don't let your fans blind you of the best business decision here: gotta keep this thread alive for the rest of the day. Don't let them lock it up just yet.

Call me a bad influence, but I really think it's in our best interest to wait until this deadline day is over. You never know what can happen. Plus, I'd really love a humongous pay day.

WOAH. HUGE deal out of Atlanta, per Hoopsworld's Lang Greene: "According to team press release, the Atlanta Hawks have traded a 2012 second round pick to Golden State for cash." :o

Josh Robbins said the Magic have not made any deals today. We are who we are!

Absolutely. Alex Martins is the man. There's not any one else on the planet I'd rather have running the show. Such a job well done. Paul Porter: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Alex Martins Arena!" I'd be okay with that.

That is the first real shocker of today, in my opinion. Wow.

PER JONATHAN FEIGEN (Houston Chronicle) DEREK FISHER TRADED TO HOUSTON FOR JORDAN HILL. WOW

Marc Spears says agents of Felton and Crawford both believe they're staying put.
