Agree, agree, agree! Hedo should be accompanied. His highest point of success should not be the highest point of success of the team.(watch Turkey in eurocup last summer) but again, rashard should step up, howard should be more enthusiastic about the game, dooling should not take unncessary shots.

Manu is the best!

best fit to magic ever. they want hedo+garrity for kirilenko+ draft or smt. garrity for what? i have no idea.

I know that Kukoc (Pippen, hardaway too) was Hido's idol once. He played against Kukoc in euro champ, and we enjoyed every second of that. He was great, great.. he deserves to be mentioned in the top list, not to forget Sabonis.

why svg takes key players out 5 mins left for the quarter? magic could have made a 10+ difference. that is how you lose a game. you leave them hope and in the last quarter they make 1 turnover, 4 (5?) three points and you lose. pathetic.

i wanted to see this. there should be a thread for every possible opponent, and we should discuss them. one done, some 3-4 to go.

i wonder what will happen to Hortford when howard finds him in the play off. I will enjoy my time then )

and turk does not think he is an all star. when lewis shoots so poor, dwight not in his sight he had to try that. in the play offs we need someone who dares to try.

Let's not be over pessimistic. Dwight+Lewis 10 points combined, but still Wizards scored less than Magic in three quarters, and this was the third. Not frequently such a poor shooting+ big frustration night happens. Dwight got some fouls out of nothing.

Any help will be app. much. Thanks in advance. try waiting a bit until media player connects net and shows you its page, then paste url. Otherwise it says "can not open", cos it thinks there is no net connection. I come over it that way.

Am i being too biased, or whenever hidayet gets the ball initiative, magic is playing much better in this quarter?

i happen to be able to find a working link and watch a magic game, from 3rd quarter, and for god's sake, team plays so bad.

Tony Parker has never been a good defender, but the spurs have been one of the best defensive teams for years. Why because they play great team d and they have Duncan to shut down the paint. And they have guys on the perimeter that can defend and that makes life easier on Duncan. Parker isn't a bad defender either. He isn't the best but he certainly isn't a liability. I understand your point on good team defense but when two of our 3 point guards consistently let the other team's point guard get into the paint it limits what we can do defensively. There are a lot of things that make us a bad defensive team. That's why I said we have to accept what we are as a team if trades aren't made. I heard that so many times, and as i do not have much opportunity to watch nba, i want to ask. What are they exactly? I mean, which player makes which mistakes? Can you write it explicitly? player by player.

quote: Originally posted by Natmayo:Hedo is having a great year no doubt. But this is one year. He hasnt done this consistantly in his career, and i dont believe hes worth 10 mil a year. Last night he was a trainwreck until the 4th qtr. Now like i said in another thread, Its cool that he steps up and gets us through, but at the end of the day, he needs to be more consistant, offensively AND defensively. Also him being in the 3 position basically keeps Lewis down playing in a different position. Shard says hes cool with it, but you cant spend the money weve spent on Lewis and keep him at the 4. My opinion is that you take this wonderful year Turk is having and package him in the summer to get a decent to top flight PF and let Lewis go back to the 3. I dont think anyone can say that Lewis wouldnt give us what Turk gives us. I know him, he will speed up and be more consistent when it comes to serious games. nowadays every game is a number. in the play-offs, on the other hand, every point is a number. Also you can check his record in spurs and kings to see how consistent he can be in serious games. actually consistency depends on your view, sometimes you score nothing but you save a game. one rebound, steal, then there you are, a saviour.

Magic eventually let Hidayet be an all star quality player. You are better than Kings and Spurs definitely.

I see that Nba has pretty much the same "problems" with Hedo as we had in Turkey. He was raised to be a guard, turned out to be 2.06 metres, so not an exact guard. For our league or Euroleague he was too good to be classified distinctly. I have been to his games when he was 19 app, in Istanbul. Thanks to his height, he was able to drag himself to pivot position, i.e, he could use his feet and body like a pivot. Many times I watched him with Mehmet Okur, playing for efes pilsen. Hidayet, (meaning "the right way" in Turkish btw), was playing excellent for a time period, then not that much for 1-2 games. We thought he might get over this problem in Nba. So far, he is successful. Turkey has a time difference of 19 hours, so it is quite difficult to watch nba at 04:00 here, but i watched some games. Hidayet definitely wants the ball, he is a winner. Team must balance him sometimes, for last utah game he was making dumb shots, that should not be the case for a serious play-off candidate. A trade might be good for you, but do not think that that would improve your team. You need some creative guys, like Ginobili or Hedo. Otherwise you have to play as a team all the time, and for many times this is not possible. Make a good team, still you will need something more for play-offs. Each one is a good team. Creativity comes in here. Hedo, (am i wrong?) is the most creative guy i guess. you need him!
