fan for too long 2

I was talking about 50 rebounds. lol. Do the hawks have a message board. Or do you rednecks just use two cups tied by strings. Yall

This, is a Ginormous IF. No Zaza, I mean neanderthal. Means Josh Powell and Dwight goes for 50 and Magic win by 20

Nah bra yo team da bomz, Uh I mean you suckz the lint off my balz

You need to get the fook out, Go get a life and by all means end it. You r useless. Like the scum that sits on the bottom of shoes of people who clean out sewers.

Why no foul with only a five second differential? So the Magic can get the ball if missed with 3 or 4 seconds to run a play. This is bad coaching nothing more and nothing less. Basketball 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad shot by Hedo, But Dick Bavetta, is all I have to say. David Stern's Number one henchman in pinstripes. I knew when I saw him the Magic were doomed.

So Dwight only scored 12 on Collins in 18 minutes. Wow that is really shutting him down. That works out to be about 26-28 points for a full 40 or so minute game for DH. What bothers me is the turnovers. Dwight has got to be quicker with his moves because he is letting the guards come down and strip him of the ball. This has to be his only weakness right now. Either a quick move or a pass out to the shooters or heaven forbid a cutter to the hoop. Would do wonders for this offense.

Jack's Back with his believe. Nothing's stronger!!! I BELIEVE!!! Magic by 20 tonight. Book it!!!

I have been wondering when was the last player the Magic signed a player to a 10 day contract? And who was it? Seems like this team with Otis as the GM never signs a D league player to a 10 day. This year should have been a great chance to find a diamond in the rough. With all the injuries, I can't understand why this team won't sign one. Is it Otis or Stan? It could be Stan because he won't even give the young new kid Earl Clark any time on the court.

Same here on firefox. Refreshing works but only sometimes. Whats the deal?

This was kinda the point I was making. And, Dom (AKA Lord Xenu) I can't look them all up, but it seems that there are a few players that would be decent players in the NBA if they were given the chance. But with guaranteed contracts in the league, you have guys like Malik, Duhon, Diop, Koncak, Magliore, DeClerq, Royal Ivey, Marcus Banks, etc. all playing way too long and never being productive enough to earn guaranteed millions but they get it anyway because that is the way the NBA works. They got the playing time and showed a flash of ability even if very brief and some GM thought he was the next "thing" and signed him up. Meanwhile players who can run rings around these guys never get to show their ability in the NBA and the GM's think they can't do it on this level. And spend their whole life languishing in the minors. As for naming players that have made it out of the D league and been productive, Gary Neal, I know europe, not d league. But, i gotta ask, how can they be productive when they don't EVER get a chance. Earl Barron has shown he can play in this league but never gets the playing time and has been back and forth from the D league to the Nba several times. There are others. Just because they haven't made it to the NBA doesn't mean they aren't good enough. (Thanks Hibachi, I didn't have the time to look them all up.)

I have a question to SVG. Why has Earl Clark been riding the pine lately? He is a high energy guy. One thing this team needs is high energy. Turkoglu has been struggling to say the least and Earl could play in his spot. Earl will be needed in the playoffs and we just played 3 playoff teams that we could face in the playoffs and yet Earl got no playing time to be ready for these teams. The main thing lacking in Earl's game is experience, imo. Yet he still sits. We get outrebounded by 20 yet he still sits. So my question why is Earl sitting?

I believe as a big man he probably has not put the effort in his outside shot as most guards do. But in time I think he will be pretty good. His stroke looks pretty conventional, not many moving pieces going on. With enough practice, he should fair well.

Yes, he should play back up to Dwight but his energy is needed from the start and Ryan's shooting off the bench to back him up at the 4 spot would be a good compliment to Earl's game. Bass, I like the guy but still seems lost on D and his rebounding(which isn't much) and his 15 foot jumpshot does not make up for his deficiencies.

He is better right now than Ryan or Brandon. Yes, I said it. And he does not have the experience they have. Can you see either drive or block or hustle like Earl? This is what this team is lacking. Thank you Earl and please resign with the Magic.

I made up nothing. I have watched 99% of the Magic games in this team's history. And I have no hate for SVG. I don't understand alot of what he does, but I can't hate anybody, especially someone I never met. I don't believe he hates Earl. I never said that. In your infinite wisdom, can you explain why Clark who is able to play 3 positions does not play in the last game when the Magic can not get a rebound to save their lives.

The fuss, imo is basically a fear that since Clark sat in the last two games with DNP-CD's that we all don't know what is in Stan's thinking. And we are in fear that he will ride the pine once again and lose the little confidence that he had gained while Malik gets burn for some unknown reason. I remember when JJ was raw and unproven he got some burn in a San Antonio game and scored like 15-17 pts and played good but was then relegated to the end of the bench for I believe it was about 10 games, this was in his first or second year. I pray this is not the way Clark is going to be treated. You would think that SVG would have learned from this but maybe he is just waiting for Clarks fourth year to let him play. :chairshot:

Whats their not to like, Slow(check) Vet(check) Can't defend(check) and I here he can barbecue a heck of a brisket. :happypuppy:

Maybe, but Dwight has not been out yet either. So we will see.

This does not surprise me at all. Stan loves him some comfort zone. Heaven forbid he thinks outside the box. I can't wait till Ryan gets two early fouls and Clark comes in, oh wait I mean Malik comes in because he is a nonproven vet, better than a talented but raw Clark. Amirite :rolleyes:

Hedo's offense was nonexistent last night. So Yes I think Earl would have produced more plus he would have crashed the boards and given the magic more opportunities. That was really the Achilles heel in that game and in alot of games. Dwight can't get all the rebounds and against the better rebounding teams Earl is the type of player we need.

I agree with you both on Bass, his inability to pass or dribble or rotate or box out or oh, you get the drift. He has been a big let down. His energy pre injury was at a much higher level. And it covered up for some of these shortcomings. Just because Clark is young and still learning doesn't mean he is not good enough to play. He played good against Dirk, Melo and these are some of the best players in the league. But alas Stan has never played young players on a consistent level except for CLee, because at that time he did not have much else.

The 2nd coming of JC dingnut. geez. And the bold part of your statement really got me to laugh. When exactly has that happened? How many rebounds or points did Hedo have? And you don't think Clark can do that, I believe he could of with his eyes closed on crutches while eating a grilled cheese.
