I give you my Magic grandson, in the arms of Moe Harkless ...

thanks a bunch! I'm gonna try that right now

My daughter took a couple of pictures today, with my grandson being held by and playing with Moe ... I just can't find a way to post them here ...

superb show of grit last night ... I only wish it would've been against the Fakers ...

what I can't understand is why, if a person feels that way (which is legit), why (again) come in a place like this and try to spoil everyone else's fun expressing their disenchantment, over and over and over, as if their true motive is to spread the disillusion ...

I think they're definitely at least part of the problem but, what about the coach?

is it me, or our players don't seem to want to pass the ball? whomever gets it, immediately goes for the basket, as if they're playing by themselves against the Heat team ... you hardly see 2 or 3 passes looking for the open man ...

common people! this is The Sunshine state, you know?

a point SO very hard to dispute ...

there you go ...

damn! can't believe it slipped mi mind ...

for me, it would have to be something that goes against my principles and moral fiber ... for example, like supporting bigotry or child abuse, or anything along that line ... in such case, I just wouldn't buy tickets to go to games, or buy memorabilia, because I would feel like I would be supporting things which in principle I do not agree with ... but even then, I think that I would watch Magic gams on TV, because that is team with which I have identified myself ... but that's just me ...

Ain't it sweet? well deserved, certainly! http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-orlando-magic-nik-vucevic-named-to-2013-rising-stars-challenge-20130130,0,1652438.post

Amongst other things, check what Stans bro has to say about Mr Laker: “I think he thought he wanted a big market, but I think what he’s realizing is that he needs a smaller environment where the fans and media overlook whatever weaknesses he has,” Jeff Van Gundy said ... “He had it great in Orlando, and I think only after you leave do you realize just how good you had it. Unfortunately, you can’t go back home again. http://www.740thegame.com/player/?station=WYGM-AM&program_name=podcast&program_id=openmike.xml&mid=22872669

IMHO as well ... I loved Ryan and hated to see him go, but JJ is IMO a much more important piece in the puzzle the Orlando Magic are ... if he's traded, or should he sign elsewhere during the summer, I'll never get another Magic player jersey for it seems to foretell their departure ... in such case, obviously, JJ's will be one of those ... the other's name, I'll take to my grave ... don't want to get linched by a furious mob LMFAO ...

What do y'all think? I'm no expert, but it seemed strange when I saw Vaughn pulling JJ at the time ... http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/os-brian-schmitz-orlando-magic-0128-20130127,0,5148228.column

right on!

exactly the way I feel ... can't feel happy for anyone's misfortune but, in his case, can't feel sympathy either ... he does look broken, I tell you ... his demeanor and tone of voice in an interview shown in ESPN this morning screams that, in comparison with what he's going through this season, he's missing the toughest times he went through with the Magic ... you almost can see his father looming over him saying "I told you so" ...

one cannot avoid wondering about that ... and then, the Fakers lost again ...

and now this: Dwight Howard aggravates shoulder http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/8875031/dwight-howard-los-angeles-lakers-aggravates-shoulder-memphis-grizzlies kinda makes me feel sorry for the guy ... naaaahhh

man, I respect everyone's opinion here and acknowledge that y'all know mucho more than I do about basketball ... but after reading the following, I don't know how anyone would conclude that the Magic were not the winners (maybe not talent wise, but definitely morale wise) in the Coward's trade: "Bryant acknowledged he could be "hard to play with," according to the Times, and challenged Howard to speak up if he had a problem with it. Howard was "despondent" and did not offer much of a reply to Bryant, according to a team source." "One example of the rocky relationship between the two Western Conference All-Star starters, according to a league source, was a game this season when Howard harped to a teammate about the disparity between his and Bryant's shots while sitting on the bench. The teammate called Bryant over so Howard could tell it to Bryant's face, but Howard refused to speak up." http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/8875019/los-angeles-lakers-hold-team-meeting-air-grievances

if I may, I would add that this team has shown tons of grit and, at least to me, it's fun to watch even when they're not winning ...

for whatever is good or bad, in the end there's no better measure than time ... but IMHO, this trade ain't looking too shabby ... let's see what the future brings ...

Did Magic get fleeced or do the fleecing in Dwight deal? http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/dwight-howard/os-mike-bianchi-dwight-howard-lakers-0113-20130112,0,4834597.column

ole what's his name not only doesn't think the damaged Laker is overrated, he thinks everybody in OTown and their mothers would embrace him should he want to come back ... Mike Bianchi: Don't be silly: Of course Magic would take back Dwight http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/dwight-howard/os-mike-bianchi-magic-dwight-howard-0109-20130108,0,951920.column
