"ORLANDO -- Commissioner David Stern made the announcement Sunday that Los Angeles would be hosting the NBA All-Star Weekend in 2011. What he left unsaid was that Orlando will have it in February of 2012. You can start making reservations. It's only a coincidence that the Lakers are playing the Magic in the NBA Finals this year." Article is old,dont know if it has been posted yet. With the new arena i kind of expected this. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/0...tar-weekend-in-2012/

How are they "valid"? and I did counter them, but he kept going back to thinking he was right... was not really directed towards you i dont really have a strong enough opinion for an argument. i am very open to the twin towers for 10 min a game tho

I think we would be in a far better position to win every night if we ran this for 10-20 min. I think many fans think just like you do. And the way this team is built and playing it is the most logical way to think. This team is built to where we win at such a high rate you do not want to screw with it, but when we lose against a team like the Lakers or Cavs we completely see where our weaknesses are. The problem is while we can beat up on every team but the Lakers and Cavs, we do not take the time to have the line up of Gortat/Howard become an effective lineup. If we spent the season making it a weapon, then when we would play teams like the Cavs, Lakers and Celtics, we would have no problem changing the way we play and being great at it. Right now as it stands, when you put that line up on the floor you are not completely sure what you will get. It has become more consistent this year than last year, but not enough to where as fans or coaches you know as soon as it is on the floor you become a lock down defense and still can score on offense. It erks me why Stan will go to this line up in the playoffs like he did the last two years, yet he never puts the time DURING the season with this line up to making it better as far as chemistry and offensive/defensive execution. it seems idiotic. Think about the last two years. We get in a position of desperation and what does Stan do? He immediately goes to the Twin Tower look. It worked about 50% of the time in the playoffs. This year we have seen it become a better weapon, but not enough to where teams have to even adjust to it or plan for it. If you make it part of the game plan where teams have to prepare for it, you know then you have weapon. Stan needs to put this line up on the floor and stick with it. He has to force Howard to be the focal point in this lineup and make the decisions to either take it to the whole, shoot a jump shot or pass out to the open man. Dwight is the team and until Stan surrounds him with the best 4 guys, we will not win it all. IMO Gortat is one of our top 5 guys especially on defense. You always want to have you best 5 guys on the floor as much as possible. agreed we have so much potential in our line up its just finding out what works. but i think gortat and dwight have both improved and dwight will guard the better big man on D and play center on O. And with lewis guarding lebron it wont be that bad because hes not going to be able to drive that well with 2 7 footers.

i do agree we should run this line up, but not start it. I think we would be in a far better position to win every night if we ran this for 10-20 min.

Right when chemistry is starting to flow together???? Honestly vc and nelson just need to get 100% like the preseason and we will be fine. Well if we don't trade then the lineup needs to change immediately. Agreed i would like to see heavy doses of gortat and dwight with any pg and barnes and maybe lewis

you guys honestly think we are going to make a big trade right now??? Right when chemistry is starting to flow together???? Honestly vc and nelson just need to get 100% like the preseason and we will be fine.

we already have enough trolls here. do we really know what other boards trolls think.

you mad i had lunch with courtney lee and dwight during the finals last year for an hour???

The only thing i hate about shooting 3's is when we shoot them with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. that bothers me so much, why take such a quick shot with all the players we have i know we can make a play. Also i want brandon bass to play instead of anderson. Edit: we have 2 slashers in barnes and peaches also if carter would man up he would be are 3rd. We have the personal to win some of the players just need to change there tampons thats all.

Go Ravens But **** both the jets and colts i hope a bomb drops and kills manning. Dwight freeny is going to ruin queerchez day, and the colts wont score 28 points. As for as the saints and viks game **** YOU FARVE!!!

quote: Originally posted by clarkn1237:Thanx J-Will, Dwight, VC & everyone else on the Magic who clanked a free-throw tonight. Why is it that every year this team sux at the foul line? Seriously I've been a fan since day one and I've never felt comfortable with the game on the line when we have a 80%+ foul shooter at the stripe (thanx Nick Anderson for cursing this franchise).!! Otis please get us a quality back up pg for J-Will, he prob missed those foul shots cause he was tired, the guy didn't take a break in the 2nd half. Now tomorrow night we'll prob get blown out of the building cause we're gonna be tired and let down after this tough loss. J-Will will prob have his worse game cause he's gonna try and be Superman to make up for his missed foul shots, same goes with VC, he'll have another 29+ shot attempt night to try to make up for this loss, and Dwight will prob be in foul trouble the whole night cause he's going to be too aggressive on the defensive boards. Losses like this are always frustrating especially when we had this game in cruise control with about 7 min left in the game. ARRRGGGGG!!!! Thanx Magic for starting my Holiday wknd off like this. There I'm done venting about the loss, feel free to bash this post cause I know a lot of you want to. So ya'll have a good Thanksgiving and I'm out.......peace!!! i agree with the free throw part, but its only 1 out of 82 games these guys are mentally weak to let one game effect them. But i do think we need to start having better ball movement. That is what killed teams last year. I didn't watch the game no idea how we let them go on a 16-0 run. But either way we need to make free throws and we would be 14-1

so i just got home from work and listened to the post game on the radio. I didn't see any of the game, but i didn't need to i can tell you why we lost.FTM-A 20-33 60.6%

If I went to your salad bar to eat and it was all F'd up, since I am a paying customer I have a right to speak up. Same goes with being a NBA fan. I am a paying customer which gives me a right to speak out about what I think can be done to make the product I PAY FOR to be better. what a terrible argument. if you do not like the product than don't pay for it. if you don't pay for the product somebody else will, thus making your argument of how you're a paying customer worthless. Sorry but it was your idiotic analogy. What you are basically saying is that no matter what I support, if changes are made that I do not agree with then I need to just go somewhere else and not support something I have supported for a long time? You are an idiot with terrible analogies. It is basically saying that no matter how serious I am a supporter of anything that once it changes, I should take my support elsewhere versus speaking up. Do you realize how stupid that sounds??? I dare you to find ANYONE other than yourself that practices that form of stupidity. If I go to a college, pick any college and graduate from that college, once change is made that I do not agree with I am supposed to either stay quiet or support a different college? If I was born and raised in Orlando and support all things in Orlando, as soon as a change is made that I do not agree with I need to either agree with it or change my support to a different city? I support a team that came within 3 games of a championship, I am a paying customer, I went to every playoff game, but the moment a change occurs I do not agree with I need be quiet or stop supporting that team. Dude you are mental. LOL all you did was use up 2 paragraphs to repeat yourself over and over again. i never told you to go support another team. but i'll just continue to let you go on your "i'm a paying customer i demand respect and attention" tirade. Hey bandwagon boy in case you haven't noticed the is a forum about the Orlando magic. So i think faux can make what ever thread he wants because, its about the Orlando magic and it has logic and support behind it. So instead of bashing on everybody and racking up 1200 posts in 6 months, you should try and go outside.

i honestly like this idea a lot, gives playing time for every body and is are best offensive/ defensive combo.

God, I mean: Meer AI Carter Lewis D12 Wow... then our bench would be the starting five of at least 4-5 other teams in the NBA. Wow i would love to have an all 6ft back court, such great defense.

quote: Originally posted by barnettej:26 games is way too many games to be sitting here trying to get by... If we didnt think AJ could handle the backup role last year, then why does everyone think this yr is any different.... There is a reason why we got J Will... to fill the backup role so that we technically have 2 starting PG for both squads... Now we are down to one... 26 games..... Is going to be a major factor in our playoff seeding hopes.... If we have the ability to get better, then I dont see why we wouldnt try. I agree 100%. Last year everybody thought turk could handle some of the pg duties, and that didn't work out so good. This year we have a little upgrade in j will and vince carter, but still no starting point guard. 26 games will be half are season when he comes back. Im thinking we need to use a tpe and just get a starting point guard and have 2 on the roster.
