Seriously, though. I'm glad this guy is on my side. Very few teams get a title, if we never do, we at the very least got SVG broadsiding the nonsense of the NBA.

For those saying "nobody will trade a top pick for Gortat," you've got to look at the alternative. If you're an NBA GM, who would you rather have? Headcase Cousins who looks a lot like Zach Randolph; Favors, who measures well but hasn't showed a thing on college; or Gortat, who has at the very least proven that he can get it done as a backup/spot starter at the NBA level? Especially if you're a team like Philly that hired Doug Collins to win now, it without a doubt has to be a discussion.

Remember when Dwight would just laugh everything off and people said he needed to be more intense and show emotion?

The Celtics didn't beat the best team in the NBA, they beat the best player in the NBA (who was about 75% of his best). Now they're about to play the best team.

Remember when everyone said that Dwight shouldn't be smiling and having fun all the time? Good times.

But still, it was inconsistent, made the game terrible to watch, and all around disgraceful. This game exemplifies why I hate the NBA and cannot watch non-Magic games. This. They made some completely horrible calls on Dwight, then a ton of terrible makeup calls that went our way. Both fans go home upset at the officiating, and everyone loses.

This probably ended up being a foul on Dwight.

Wait, so KG's still acting like a jerk off? Shocking! He's really not dealing well with being washed up.

If the defending conference champions and current #2 seed who have won 20 out of the last 23 shouldn't be confident of their chances in round 1 against a team they generally dominate, who should be confident?

lol. 82% of Ohio thinks last year's team was better. Wishful thinking anybody?

This board makes me like basketball less. True story.

It's all about effort. This team will be judged solely on what happens in April-June, and they're not mature enough to bring it every night until then.

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't come around here much anymore. Then I see threads like this, read a page and a half, and remember why.

Your best bet is to get there as early as you can, then figure out what tunnel they head back to the locker room from after their pre-game workout. If you're wearing Magic colors and hanging around in the stands near that tunnel, they'll usually say hey.
