Optimist Prime 197 Report post Posted April 17, 2015 That graphic of Nick Anderson at the free throw lines made for a lot of mixed feelings before I even started the article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted April 17, 2015 It's weird that they chose to....completely ignore the CBA/union issues of 1996 that allowed Shaq to leave in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 6th Rebuild 6 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 I've been saying it.... the ownership group has been an issue for a long time. Can't fire them though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicblue 315 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 I've been saying it.... the ownership group has been an issue for a long time. Can't fire them though. I disagree and argue that what we've missed (outside of perhaps the 95-96 team) is the perfect storm of great players, coaching staff, and upper management all being in place together at the exact same time. If Henny can get those things to align we have a chance to be special again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 As magic fans we're kinda spoiled. Our "terrible" ownership had it's in the playoffs 14 out of the 26 years we've existed and in the conference finals 4 times in the last 21 seasons. Golden state hasn't made the conference finals in 40 years. Atlanta hasn't made a conference finals in 45 years. The clippers have never made a conference finals Washington hasn't made a conference finals in 35 years. That's a generation of disappointment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
