Rd 4 - Game 4: NBA Finals Game Thread Magic vs Lakers 6/11 9:00 P.M.

Well Dwight seemed fine in his press conference and the team still believes and he seemed sincere.

 

The point I guess I would like to make is that when you miss free throws like he did in the moment you would think he would be really down on himself like most of us are right now but he seems to have already shaken it off. Now maybe he is putting on a front but he seems to genuinely be alright with everything.

 

Said the team will fight until there are no more games to play.

 

Say what you want about the way tonight's game went down and trust me I am just as upset as some of you but this team has a maturity and a confidence about them that leads me to believe that if this is not the year the time will be coming soon.

its a little much but its better than having 50 different threads like in other forums.

It probably won't matter after tonight, there's a lot of people like me that don't want anything to do with the Magic until next season.

Magic had a good year. Being down 3-1, I don't think it's our year now. But can the Magic get better? Oh YES! Three elements I'd like to see the Magic improve on in the off season.

 

1. point guard spot. figure out who's going to be the MAIN point guard and stick with him down the stretch. having faith in your players goes a long way. Not having faith disrupts your teams focus. The finals is not the time to experiment with a player who's been on the sideline for 4 months.

 

2. turnovers. Seen too many forced passes without a good angle.

 

3. of course, any team can say this but everyone work on free throw shooting in off season =)

we killed ourselves with so called point guards Jameer and Rafer. Where the heck is Anthony Johnson?

Could it be that he doesnt care?

He has some serious issues with this team.

He didnt even made an effort at the end of the game.

 

But still he is not to blame.

Gundy and Jameer, they were the stinkers tonite.

He comes on and takes all the blame.

If he knows what he is doing wrong, why does he keep on doing it?

He ll be rocking in his rocking chair in 14 years, so he wont be seeing another final series.

This guy is a joke. He chokes.

Shaq was right. I hate shaq but cant deny him that.

nelson made some good plays so i wont give him crap. all my beef with this game is the elbow to Jameer. Even though it didnt look intentional, an elbow to the face is still and elbow to the face. They called it on AJ and even on LBJ23. That foul woulda taken out that 3 by fish and gave us free throws. but there are no wouldas and shouldas so wutever. just venting

yep, I see that everytiem, if he just catches and shoots, he either scores, or scores and is fouled, or just fouled.... ewing or someone need to tell him

He runs into him bro, thats not foul.

I wish it were, but it wasnt.

Every basketball player shows an elbow, you have to keep your distance. if you run into a standing guy, you commit the foul.

First I would like to point out that I got attacked here on the board for saying trading Ariza was one of the dumbest moves in Magic history. I also said one day Ariza will be an All Star , and I said he would get a ring before Cook and Evans, and every one on here made fun of me. I also said all he needs is a shot and one day he will be better the T - Mac, its looking like I was right.

 

Second the reason why Stan took Alston out is because before they went to commercial they showed Alston and Stan yelling at one another. Alston made a hand motion to Stan, like he was angry. If you noticed as well during the time out Alston was at the end of the bench away from the team. Stan had to big of an ego to put him back into the game, big misstake!!!

 

I also got two NBA Coachs fired, Doc Rivers and Brian Hill !!!

I think I understand what you are saying through your incoherent babble but SVG is not in charge of playing defense and making free throws.

 

I know its fun to try and blame someone for everything but the fact is the Magic did not make plays and Fisher made a couple of clutch shots down the stretch.
