quote: Assume we played terrific but still the ball game came down to last play as it did tonight. Is that last call going to be allright then???? We lost.... Thats it. WE can't go back and change the call. To me our team is better than they are and it should've never came down to this call. Lets move on and get ready for the next game.

quote: Because we played bad tonight, You said it..... no one said to roll over. We have a better team and should've won... So you play bad don't expect the win to fall out of the sky and hit you on the head!

quote: What? The game clearly should have went to OT. That would ahve decided a victor. The refs took a legit basket away from us and handed the game to Houston. How exactly could you not blame the refs If you play lousy dont look for the zebras to bail you out. We should had won this game. Bottom line is once they call it you're done and stuck with a loss.

quote: Are we missing something???? Why didn't they call it a basket after the review?? Someone at Magic organization needs to make some noise about this absolute terrible call. What's done is done for tonight, but at least put pressure for upcoming games, so we don't have to play 5 on 8 on the court next time!!! The refs weren't terrible throughout but the last one WITH the review over and over!!! unbelievable! WE freakin lost to a team without its super star! Stop making excuses! WE lost and that is it! Quit blaming the zebras! We've should've of won this game PERIOD! We had plenty of chances.

I was at the game and we were just slow too the ball. They had a quicker "first step". EVERYBODY and I mean EVERYBODY did not want to play tonight. This was a team loss.... I also wanted to say even SVGs rotation did not look right. Where was the heart and hustle that helped you win four in a row? Where was Augustine? This guy played well and went to the boards hard in the games he was in. We could've used him tonight. I'm starting to believe SVGs is still undecided on who he wants on the floor. Let me say this also JN can be a stud off the bench. He can come in and light it up. No heart no hustle tonight. I feel the same way about SVG, his rotation was just lousy!

Jameer Nelson has his new sneaker deal!!!!!! this is why he looks as tall as Carlos!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

For the love of GOD!!!!! Enough already! What is going to happen when he goes into a slump? Just enjoy the season! What are you going to do if Carlos gets traded? Jump from the top of the Amway arena? Remember what goes up must come down! LET IT GO ALREADY!!!! NO JOD** MAS CON CARLOS THIS AND STATS THAT! In other words ENOGUH IS ENOUGH!!!!

I was waiting for SVG to put Dooling last night on DA and it did not happened! Dooling one of our best defenders did not even smell the floor. Armstrong just had his way with both JN and CA. Remenber a couple of months when the same thing happened? Yes Dooling did not play and the other teams PG just KILLED JN and CA. We lost and SVG said it was his fault for not playing KD and the lost was on him. Well... It was dejavou all over again last night. Dooling on the bench and the magic loose another game at home. And what is up with SVG Miami vise look?

Trading Arroyo for another SG and especially the way Carlos is playing right now would be just another noogy on half a brain Otis Smith. If he would've kept Ariza (who can guard 2,3, and the 4th spot) none of this CA trade to GS would be even on the boards. Just look at how silly this guy is. He trades Ariza most likely the magics best defender for a SG (inconsistant) and a 6'10" stiff. Now he is thinking of trading the magics best PG PERIOD for another SG! Please MR. half a brain not another SG!!!!!

quote: Jameer's back sure looked fine when he was screwing around during pregame warmups doing Kung-Fu spin kicks at the balls that were coming off the rim. Strange..... I wonder what SVG said to him before the game?

Guys we had a player who is more talented than Pietrus (Trevor Ariza) and half a brain Otis Smith traded him. Right now CA is very valueble to the magic as you can see he has done very well spelling JN. He has ran the team better than the best PG on the team PERIOD... :-) So I dont think it would be a wise move for Mr. half a brain to move Carlos yet.....

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Guys please give it a rest! JN is the starting PG for this team. SVG did a good thing by not starting him and is worked. The magic need JN to play well. Yes Otis over payed him but that is not JN fault. CA is the backup PG and is playing very well at this time. CA needs to continue contributing weather is starting or coming off the bench. CA is playing for a contract weather is for the magic or for another team. For now enjoy the team success.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This team can end the year on a winning note! Look at the schedule. If they don't pick up the pieces and win 4 out of 5. The inevitable needs to happen! SVG will need to stop ***** footing around and do something. Big contracts dont win games! Sun 23 @ Boston Wed 26 vs New York Fri 28 @ Miami Sat 29 vs Charlotte Mon 31 @ Chicago

Like I said This team can finish 2007 on a winning note and it did. SVG made some changes and it worked (shake it up bit). Please keep it going this team has good chemistry. MAGIC WIN!!!!

"Smith also had no problem with Coach Stan Van Gundy saying that the slumping Nelson wasn't guaranteed of getting his job back when he returned. "That's up to the coach," Smith said. "That's why you have 15 guys on the roster. It's an opportunity for somebody to step up." He said that Nelson probably has been trying to keep his teammates happy, getting them shots and losing grip on his game. Smith also said Nelson has been dealing with the aftershocks of the death of his father, Pete." He is just trying to save face here. He traded Ariza and trade will hunt him. He gave JN all star contract 35mil is all star money. We all like like JN but he is not worth that kind of money.

This is very clear.... A message was sent here. SVG just sent a message to not only JN but to Otis also. I'll play the guy who is going to help us win. "We just put the ball in Carlos Arroyo's hands virtually every possession down the stretch," Van Gundy said. "We ran the high pick-and-roll, and he made good decisions. I thought he was very confident with the ball in his hands."

I believe that Jameers struggles can be attributed to the way the rest of the team is playing right now i.e., at the begining of the season RL, HT, and KB were hitting their three's on a consistant basis, DH was not being double and tripled teamed so he pretty much had his way in the low blocks and all allyoops were wonderful. This meant JN was racking up the assists which also complimentent his offense. Now the team has gone into a skid and this has really put the spot light on JN. He is confused and at times reckless with the rock. Sometimes over dribbling and over penetrating (Goakas has made comments about this). There is more to Jameers troubles and that is he is really not a true PG and that the big contract can be a distraction as to his performance. This is going to require a game at a time mind... Play each game as if were your last game. Focus on todays game only. Zen Master Seung Sahn

Guys.... Please get over the fact that SVG needs or should start this guy, that guy, bench, bench, start bench and so on. The fact is that with the signing of RL (over paid) to a big contract JN (over paid)extended to a big contract that SVG is going to not have these guys start. This would make Otis Smith look really bad. I think there is no changes in the starting lineup will be made yet. SVG and OS thoughts are let them play through this and see what happnes. I've said it in the past don't expect any changes any time soon. If this team wins the next four everyone will be signing to a different toon.

Same here!!!! It's ok to say Merry Christmas!!!!
