Why is Larry Hughes not playing at all.

[UBBALLER8 248]

Turk is playing a very good game

Resigning Jason Richardson was a huge mistake. He looks like a slow 90 year old man out there and can't guard anyone.

Wow, hats off to Turkoglu. Hope he keeps playing this way

[Miller4Prez66 545]

Duhon had the best +/- on the team tonight.

[Tough Break There 96]

Wow, we played well and everyone stayed in the woodwork. Shocking.

 

Nice win. Turk was truly vintage.

[God Hates Otis Smith 153]

Good job hedo, keep raising your trade value!

 

Bynum and Gasol will be ours!

[MoMagic1 11]

hedo is key for us to be contenders. We need him to keep playing good just about every game

We need him to play well in the playoffs. Those are the only games that matter.

This season's schedule is going to take a toll on players who are either old and/or poorly conditioned. Don't expect this much down the road, IMO.

I liked what I saw from the overall rotation tonight.

 

It's funny, Boston fans are ecstatic with the Bass/Baby trade, they feel they got the better end and most of us feel that we did. I think both teams got exactly what they needed. Baby brings so much to the table, so many of the little things that we lacked. Like his overall game however I can definitely see myself cursing him for some shots down the road.

 

I'd really like to see us swing outside/inside a few more times. Just because a play breaks up on the interior doesn't mean we should completely abandon it for that set. While J-Rich looked halfway decent tonight, I'm still just not seeing how he's going to help us in the long-term, he MIGHT step up in the playoffs, but I really doubt it. I really don't know what else the Magic could have done with the money though looking down the list of FA's.

 

I'm not sure why Hughes isn't getting the some burn, in fact, SVG is back to his old 8-9 man rotation tricks and well...we shall see.

Good Win. Go Magic.
