You guys are leaving out Richard Jefferson. Hes considered the 2nd best SF in the East besides Lebron. Hes putting great stats so Turk chances are very slim.

I don't think the coaches can pick another all-star from a team that can't win a game.

Happens a lot more often than you think.

 

Just not a smart idea.

 

 

Says the JJ Redick fan from Wisconsin.

 

These are the times I wish he would just get traded so that we lose 20-30 forum members that only post negative garbage.

 

Didn't realize you had to live in Florida to be a Magic fan, my bad.

 

You talk about how I don't have a valid point? How the **** don't I? Go around and ask any sensible fan of the game if keeping your starters in, up by 20, with 3 minutes to go is a good idea, they'll agree with me 9 times out of 10.

 

But go ahead and keep acting like you're the God of this forum.

 

 

I understand Stan Van Gundy's concern of keeping the starters in the game so they could learn how to close games properly, since lately they had a tendency to blow out big leads at the 4rth quarter.

 

Still, he is taking a big risk by leaving the starters on the floor with such a big lead because if one of the starters get injured, he will have a lot of explain to the Magic management why the starters were playing on a game that seemed already won.

 

We shouldve been put the bench in there. We was up like 20pts and SVG still has the starters in there. Cant take no chances on a injury especially in a game that means nothing. Makes no sense to keep the starters in there. I was wondering the same thing, what the hell is SVG doing. We should be able to close out a game when were up 20pts with our bench.

Insults aren't need my friend. But ask yourself this. If SVG took the starters out at the 6 minute mark, and we started to lost our lead and the Heat made a comeback, you would all be ripping him for not keeping the starters in.

 

You can't have it both ways guys. Either you trust the man for his decisions, or you don't. I think his fears were justified due to the fact that we have lost big leads to inferior teams before.

 

I think if we had been leading this game by 20 for the entire second half, we would have seen more of the backups.

 

It's not rocket science, you're up by 20 with 6 minutes left. Throw in your reserves and don't risk injury to your starters. If the Heat are somehow able to magically get it to under 10 in that span, put your starters back in.

 

Not really that big of a deal and most coaches in the NBA don't keep their starters out on the court that long. I have never praised SVG. I have never thought he was as great of a coach as everyone else thinks he is. He wasn't great in Miami and he's not great now, so stop worshipping the guy.

 

he's sure doing a better job than Bhill....

 

Thanks man. By the way, do you mind uploading the sig I made to your own photo account? Photobucket is free, but they only allow you a certain amount of bandwidth.

Should, I agree, but I think we proven more often than not we are not capable of closing out a game with our starters. Thus Stan has no faith in them at this point.

Orlando Magic Head Coach Stan Van Gundy:

 

On overall game

thanks for the quotes j.d. !

In the playoffs WE WILL need our bench. Teams play tougher and everybody elevates their games higher. If we cant depend on our bench to close out a season game, then what are we gonna do in the playoffs when we need them. SVG has to develop some kind of faith in them OR put 1 of his TOP SCORERS to come off the bench so we can finish out games(Turk). All im saying is SVG needs to have more faith in his bench enough where he can take his starters out earlier and let the bench finish out the game. Thats whay there for. But we will need them in the playoffs cause you better believe every other team benches are bringing everything they can to compete every night.
