The blow shakes the brain inside the skull, which temporarily prevents the brain from working normally. Some people have obvious symptoms of a concussion (such as passing out or feeling lightheaded), while others do not. With rest, most people fully recover from concussions within a few hours to a few weeks. On rare occasions, concussions cause more serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may require surgery or lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning, or speaking. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to contact a doctor if you or someone you know has symptoms of a concussion. FYI about a concussion I am an athletic trainer. Concussions are, as you said, blows to the head. But the fact you missed is that the reason for odd behavior and precautions is because a concussion is swelling of the brain. Therefore, you need rest and time to chill out to reduce the swelling or it could get worse by aggrivating it more. The brain only has soo much room before it touches the skull. We give players different grades for a concussion. Looking at big baby's case, I would say he is out for at least a week or two.

If he is a white guy in real life trolling this would be hilarious.

who honestly voted yes? Seriously what is your reasoning?

So, if you don`t want a terrible defender, first you should get rid of Rashard and Jameer. On the other hand Hedo is the main core of offense of this team... Well Shard has been mismatched being in the PF position and has escaped some tough battles but he is still more valuable than Turkoglu when he wants to be. Jameer is an excellent shooter and has much energy and IQ to play his position. Don't judge him by his performance coming from surgery and not playing for months. Hedo was the main core in the finals (both ecf and NBAF) but for most of the playoffs he was spotty and only had a game saver here and there. I am not gonna judge you or say you are an idiot, lol. Because you can not really know Hedo as well as me. If you knew him, you would never be surprised when he shows up when it matters the most. Hedo is a winner, Hedo will never hide when It is the biggest game. As I saw Rashard and even Dwight disappeared in the finals. Don't tell me Dwight was overmatched! I agree. It seemed Dwight was more interested in talking about his new shoe line, his camp he is doing, or his NBA Live cover. He was stargazed, in my opinion.

Im not a bandwagoner but who cares if we have them? That must mean we are a decent enough team to get the attention of more people. I mean, we didn't exactly pack out games this year and it is widely known that most of our home games were empty. So does that make all of us bandwagoners as well?

Just because they frickin lost doesn't mean they didn't want to win man. As a fan, with them down 3-1, I can acknowledge that it is likely over and reflect and now just be satisfied with a great season. Look at the stats. That is not a team that wanted to win tonight. How do you miss 15 ft's in crunch time. When the series is 4-1... that is when you start to look back and say what a great year. You must desire more from this team than the crap they pulled in the second half... surely... Missed free throw = no desire to win??? Moronic. And for the record, a fan can feel "happy to be here" all they want. See, they don't actually play in the games. I'm not sure if you are aware of that. So there is really no danger to the team if a fan feels that way. Thank you. My mentality doesn't have to be on the same level as the players. They did want to take it all. Badly. I wanted them to take it all badly too. But at this point, it is what it is and we can't do it over. I prefer to be happy for my team still playing in June and also happy that we have a lot of good young players that will benefit from this and be back next year. If you felt like they settled, and are tired of the heartbreak, go root for the Lakers or somethin. We as fans just have to get over it and find some solice in the fact that at least we took the East and were really close to taking the Finals as well. Your argument seems hypocritical. If that is your way of being an Orlando Magic fan then fine. But why bash other fans because they chose to celebrate their faithfulness in a seperate way than your own? Hey I know some of you aren't bandwagon fans and are just venting after a heartbreaker. I'm just sayin get over it. There's nothin we can do about it. I've been a fan of the KC Chiefs and the Orlando Magic, I'm the master of heartbreak when it comes to sports. Plus I love sports, and I love watching my teams. And I know this team will be back next year and they will be good. I prefer to look forward rather than look back. It's just gonna make you personally miserable. I felt that way for the first 30 minutes after the loss and I'm tryin to get over it this way. I'm trying to take a horrible negative situation that makes me wanna kill the cat and think about the positive things about my team and their future. October will be here sooner than you know it and this team will be better. And we're gonna have some fun rooting them on again. I believe we cna get back to the Finals again, if not several times. Agreed. I am a Dolphins/Orlando/FSU fan and all three glory days of the 90's and previous are gone. This is heartbreaking nonetheless phins had glory days? when they almost won something? but yeah i go to fsu so i know how you feel. oh and OP, what do you mean you people.??? Search 72' Phins and Don Shula.

Look at the number of turnovers, the lost 50/50 balls, the reckless fouls, the terrible shooting by certain players, the lack of contest on shots. That, dear friend, is no desire to win. You can help most of those with effort which went missing as we took a nap during halftime. Look at the stats?? I saw the game. You're telling me the stats are telling you the Magic had no DESIRE to win? Are you serious? That team layed it out there. Mistakes will happen, Kobe missed 5 free throws the previous game, had a critical turnover and missed several shots with the game on the line. It's all there in the stats. Are you ready to tell me he had no desire to win? Nonsense. I hated that they lost, I say the missed shots and the missed plays, but I have no idea where is it that you say the Magic lack desire or act like they were happy to be there. I have no clue where you saw that. Lack of effort is not a mistake. And what does it mean when you constantly commit mistakes? Does that mean you are determined to correct them? Obviously not or we would have won.

They should all owe the city of Orlando their ****ing salaries. This was a total crime.
