[GhostAnime 50]

you'd think that considering most of the people who replied in this thread... how the heck are you guy magic fans? why can't i hear this stuff on a regular basis? LOL don't tell me that you guys are only confident in your team when a rival fan talks to you.

hey, the Cavs have outplayed us thus far. therefore, i'm not saying ****. I'm confident the Magic will turn things around tho, we'll see you Cavs in the playoffs

From an outside perspective, here's why i think the Magic are "all of a sudden" struggling and not playing very well.

 

It starts and begins with ATTITUDE and its a complete trickle down effect. Last year nobody, possibly outside of Orlando, saw that year coming. No one expected them to have that record and get to the finals. I would guess that as the season started neither did the players. However as the season progressed and Orlando kept winning, confidence amongst the team and fan base started to grow. You all started to see what could be a special season forming. Only, no one else still did. They didn't get the respect maybe they thought they were earning still from the league and/or national media. So as a result last year was played in part with a chip so to speak on their shoulders. They were the underdog everywhere of consequence they went and won a lot of games by sneaking up on people. Either teams didn't believe their system would work over the long haul or they just flat didn't buy into what Orlando was selling.

 

Then what started to happen (and this is for all of you fans) is that you started to sell your souls to the hype that the players, coach, and Orlando media was spoon feeding you.

 

Fast forward to this year where the only problem with everything now is that YOU WERE NEVER THAT GOOD! You played over your heads last year. Teams weren't ready for you and you got unrealistic contributions from almost everyone on that roster.

 

As you can tell by the name i am a Cavs fan, so lets use that series as the example. The perception is that Orlando was just much better than Cleveland. Why is that? BECAUSE YOUR COACH AND THE ARROGANT ORLANDO MEDIA TOLD YOU SO! You bought into the hype and attitude! Look at that series. Do you know that Dwight Howard shot 70% from the foul line? 11% more than he did during the WHOLE YEAR! Most of the games were very close in that series and i believe totaled only a +13 in Orlando's favor. Yet no one talks about how if Howard doesnt shoot INSANE from the line Orlando DOES NOT win that series. Infact if i remember correctly, his percentage from the line in the 4th quarter was over 80%. And then you have Michael Jorda, er, Michael Pietrus. He played out of his mind. He made what seemed like 100 3s that series. Was nothing close to that all season, nor in the finals.

 

The one thing you had last year on the Cavs was a matchup advantage. And what i dont understand about this fan bases attitude is that you STILL think you're clearly better than cleveland. You werent "better" last year and you traded away the only legit advantage you possessed. No to mention we've made improvements in that regard as well.

 

Your coach is a punk and your media is EXTREMELY arrogant. I used to read articles they'd write last year it just blew me away how ****y they could be. THAT's your problem. All of you thought this year was just gonna be a repeat of last year and you all got caught with your pants down. Last year was, sorry to say, borderline FLUKE. Too many timely 3's, too many role players playing way above their heads, too many fortunate matchups, too little spotlight that let you sneak under the radar. You're seeing this year what kind of team you have when you don't shoot 13-21 from 3 every game. You're seeing this year that Howard isnt nearly as effective without people raining 3s at a ridiculously efficient rate. You're seeing this year what happens when you trade for a me me me player who doesnt want to buy into the system and have NEVER shot a good FG%.

 

It isn't last year anymore. Maybe you all should leave your ****y attitudes back there.

 

There was a thread on here not long ago asking of the top 3 teams cleveland, boston, LA, what does orlando need most to beat them. and EVERYONE on here responded with "nothing" when talking about cleveland. lol, if that's what you all think you've got another thing coming. 26-15? lol

 

Um...LOL

 

Try beating the Bobcats first, then come over here and talk to us.

Try beating the Wizards, or Indiana without it's 2 best players, or Portland without Roy, or all the other **** teams you lost to, who are all much worse than the Bobcats. Hell, try just beating 1 elite team.

 

Beat Wizards - Check

Beat Pacers w/ Granger - Check

Beat Blazers w/ Roy - Check

Beat Celtics - Check

 

By the way, Cavs also lost to the Mavs WITHOUT Dirk. You really try to come on here as a Cavs fan and call people idiots? That's like a Red Sox fan going on a forum and calling people bandwagon fans.

For all intents and purposes being so irrelevant their cite has been shut down for the past two years,...it's no secret.

 

It's ran so horridly fans of that team have resorted to have developed their own independent satellite cites. Solely to try to appeal to the skilled, knowledgeable and sensible sports fans that would have any interest in discussing the team.

 

It's my belief that their cite has more hurt their team image more than the bumbling idiots. That make their player personnel decisions and mis-script what players they manage to get,..the only team in NBA history to consistently fall short of winning with the leagues best individual player is a dubious distinction.

 

Where being such a triad of twisted turmoil certainly doesn't bode well for a LeBron James trying to coexist. Especially when he's trying to appeal to the entire basketball world and hope to become recognized and respected as a champion,..he and those fans are deserving of a championship. But it'll never happen toiling with that trilogy of ball frauds.

Exactly,..

 

See the mark of a born loser is how they harbor a litany of losing memories. To such a degree that their theme is based upon running from reality,..a circular firing squad of clamoring klutz's.

 

I mean come on that's why the poster strayed from that heard of ridiculous recluses. Their top headless homer is clearly so hapless it's beyond any rationale thought or stretch of anyone's imagination trying to make any sense of their net existence.

 

Any and all members in their fan base with any sense have abandoned any association with that cyber based " Snit Hole " a while back. No intelligent life form or congruent thought process of any variety exists there,..they're notorious for being insignificant.

 

See any mind of genuine game grasp knowledge would speak the painful truth. Thus become deemed subversive by their know nothing Admin. Whom roosts over those who's required to suck up to the head dummy by proxy.

 

So the end result is whats produced is nothing less than a goon grotto of garbled graffiti. That's geared for consumption by the gutless wonder variety,..and an imbalance of the goonish geriatric to the knowledge starved kids that comprise a net harbor of nothing but must miss nonsense.

 

See just like expounding on game grasp and knowledge of the game in discussion. So too is game spirited chiding and barbing as court chatter part of the game. But the cavaliers crab palace can't handle any of it in the barren basketball irrelevant homer dome.

 

It's a kiddie pool that mass produces WMD's Whiners of Ma-s-s Dysfunction. Which for the betterment of the sport as a whole they're best quarantined to that one specific location,..and this thread is indicative of the creation of the most recent one that leaked out.

 

In the face of a non crowned champions it's intolerably shameful,..

Didn't the Cavs also lose to Portland without Roy? And Denver without Melo? Sigh, come talk **** when(if) you actually beat the Magic in the playoffs, not based off of asinine assumptions made by someone with little to no real basketball knowledge.

 

No, we didn't. But good try again.

This year so far they owned the Magic in Orlando (you may have not had Shard, but we didn't have West or Powe), beat Miami on the second night of a back-to-back, blew out Phoenix twice including giving them their first home loss since March, blew out Dallas, beat Atlanta on back-to-back nights, beat Portland twice, blew out the Lakers on Christmas day, and beat them yesterday without Mo or Moon. Not to mention they played the most road games of any team so far. No other team in the league came close to accomplishing that yet.

 

For the kid calling me a retard, you sir, are the retard.

 

PLEASE don't compare your garbage to a big time player like rashard lewis thanks, big difference
