MagicMan83

I glad we have not contacted Sam Vincent. Are you kidding me? We need a big time coach, we cant take chances!

I hope he does get the cover but I hope they do a better job on his character. That looks nothing like Dwight!

There GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTT!

Dear Pistons Fans, How does it feel to have one of the best teams in the league? I mean it must feel pretty good right? Last year you guys really tore the NBA apart, you had the best record.Then you went to the Playoffs and you beat the Bucks,wow! Then the Cavs came and you beat them in 7 games! What a series that was! Then you lost to Miami in the ECF that's too bad. Then the previous year you made it all the way to the NBA finals! But you lost. In fact you have been to the ECF 4 times in a row,The last 2 teams to make it to the conference finals in 3 or more consecutive seasons (Lakers,Bulls) each have 3 championships. Detroit has one, but that's ok. You guys even had two 50 win season's before you won that championship! While you do have a very experienced team, what do you have for the future? You traded your best prospect to Orlando last season. So while we all sit back and watch the Pistons dismantle my beloved Orlando Magic know this Pistons fans, In 5 years the Pistons will be lottery regulars while our Magic team is still barley entering it's prime. We will dominate the East for the next 13 or 14 season's.And I guarantee that era will end with more then one Championship. So while you celebrate a first round victory that anyone could predict, I would like to thank you for helping us grow as a team. We got what we expected out of this playoff series. Have the Pistons lived up to your expectations?

ok just to clear things up, I hate the fact that Mcgrady left but the fact that he went to Houston made it worse.

You do not know this Pistons team. Bulls would have swept your team as well. One more thing, Detroit's window is closing?! hahaha, you stupid fans said the same thing 2 years ago. What happened? Pistons are going to contend again next year. Guess what? Piston's have a brighter future than your team also. The ONLY thing your team has going for it is Dwight Howard, who can dunk! WOW. His shot sucks and so does his free throw shooting. Ariza? HA, Redick? HA Pistons Amir Johnson + this years pick >> Dwight Howard + DARKO!!! LOL u cats are sad, give it up for the Deeeeeeetroit Pistons because you never do. I know your bitter, but don't hate, congratulate! P.S. Pistons will knock you out of the playoffs(if you make it there) next year as well. Happy fishing! I'm assuming you don't have a life..I would love to stay and argue but I have to go give the Pacers fans crap b/c we beat them in game 7 of the 95 ECF.

Is anyone else pleased as punch by the way Golden State is handling Dallas? I'm no Golden State fan by any means, the only team I root for is Orlando. However, Dallas has been so ****y all season, talking about how they want the championship this year. I don't like how they said "Miami didn't win the championship, we lost it." They may feel that way but you don't say it. Be Men and admit you got beat. You should never try to discount what another team did. Now they have the best record in the NBA and an 8th seed is mopping the floor with them! I LOVE THE PLAYOFFS!

well alphabetically anyways. Some people suggest we trade the pizza boy this summer. If we have seen the last of Pat in a Magic uniform let's take a closer look at PG8! Pat Garrity: Born: August 23, 1976 Las Vegas, NV Height: 6-9 Weight: 238 lbs. Age: 30 Pos: F College: Notre Dame Drafted: 1998, 1st round, 19th pick by Bucks 2007 Salary: $3,525,000 Pat Garrity was a pre-med major at Notre Dame and was an Academic All-American. He was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 19th pick in the 1998 NBA Draft. He was traded along with the draft rights for Dirk Nowitski to Dallas on June 24, 1998. He was subsequently traded to Pheonix where he played his rookie campaign. Orlando acquired Pat Garrity in August 1999 as part of a package for Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway. He had his 4th year option picked up by Orlando in 2000 and signed a contract extension with Orlando in July 2002.

I really thought this thread was dead but 3 days later it's back!

you guys are all punks. Am I the only one that still hates Houston with a passion for beating us in the 95 finals?

Also, I know for a fact that jack daniels is between the age of 50 and 60, though sometimes I wonder. YES! trade Dwight, he is holding Pat back!

I had a huge grin on my face when Tracy started crying after the game! He left Orlando b/c we could not get out of the first round, well either can Houston! A T-mac loss is a Magic win in my book!

I am so sick of this guy. Every day he bashes the Magic in his article. It seems like instead of finding new interesting things to write about he just goes after the Magic. SO I am now refusing to buy the Orlando Sentinel or go to the paper's website. The News Journal actually reports Magic news. The just don't go into idiotic rants when they need to meet a deadline. So as long as Bianchi is at the sentinel I am boycotting it.Any one want to join me? If not you can find his email address and express your displeasure with him.. GO MAGIC!

I think we should name the new arena after Coach K if he comes here. Lets pay him 5 million a year and give him a 5 year deal! It will be worth it!

The front office took a couple of players from the team and had them thank the season ticket holders. There really isn't any reason to read anything more into it. Emory,it sure matters; or are you saying who goes in that front web page is a lotto drawing? Its done, and they make look like fools if they trade him but they did give Carlos a major exposure. Como estan? No seria mejor dejar esto de Carlos cada vez que escribimos algo bueno de Carlos viene un etupido hablar mal de el o de los boricua es mejor esperar al verano o cuando empiece la temporada de nuevo espero que Carlos desmuestre lo mucho que el vale y que es un buen PG. Very mature to call someone stupid. Show me where he talked bad of Carlos. This crap is old. Why can't you get it through your head that it isn't Carlos people dislike as much as his fans that post ludicrous comments? IF you are not the one who is talking trash about Carlos WHY YOUR MAD? That massege was for all those people that always talk trash about Carlos and latino fans we are tire to read those think if you are not one of those people be cool. We don't talk bad about Arroyo..It's just hard to swallow 15 post a week about how great he is. He is just a back up. That's it. I know he is a big star in Purto Rico but this is not Purto Rico and noone is going to build a team around Arroyo. He is a back up...case closed.

we dont have anywhere near the personal needed to play like golden state.

quote: Originally posted by Mr Charisma:MagicMan83, I gotta tell ya. In your photo signature with the series of Garrity pics, the last one is certainly the best. He's in street clothes, where he belongs. Are you saying you have a thing for Pat in his street clothes? That's kinda creepy man, I think he is married so your out of luck.

Or we could bring back Shawn Kemp

OOOHHH and Garrity is a BIG! He has started many games for us as PF!

quote: Originally posted by FENDI: quote: Not for his salary ($5-$6M). If we have money left over after our FA signings and transactions, then I'd think about it. But we have priorities. we can acquire him by trading some of our assets or like packaging Bogans, Garrity and a 2nd rounder or 2. 5-6 million for a guy like Haywood ain't bad at all. Don't get me wrong, he isn't worth that much if he was not a big man, but big men are overpayed. Did you just say trade Pat? umm why would you do such a thing? He is making his comeback next year! It was the coaches fault! Next year Pat is going to score 10ppg off the bench! GO PAT!

I hope Houston does not advance but I know this Warriors will be a hand full if they play the Rockets. I think they can take bot Mcgrady and Ming out of the game. The Pistons shut down T-Mac for four game back in 03. It should be very interesting watching the Warriors int the next round. BTW: It was nice to see Jackson play a good game. Everyone gives him hell but I think he is a solid player!
