Take notes, take notes, I already did jejeje I mean hehehe. While I would question the need of calling out Dwight publicly (if he has the character we all think he has, a private conversation should be enough), I think firing him would be too much. Patience is necessary. I don't think there is a better coach out there we need to rush getting. I would question his rotations too, since sometimes he seems to get his mind fixed and not try some things that have worked. But again, firing him is too much. The team needs to improve but I don't think firing Stan is the solution. I think is better and more efficient for the coach to make adjustments right now than for the team to go out looking for a coach again at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30Assists 342 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Can we have an "Official 'Shut the Eff Up' Thread"? Seriously, I think we need one. If I see one more post about firing SVG, trading JJ, playing JJ, firing Otis, how great Carlos is, how much Carlos sucks, how great Jameer is, or how much Jameer sucks, I'm going to gouge out my eyes and live in a cave...

Anyway, what I found interesting was that when SVG got a technical, there was a lot of cheering heard. My friend was like do the people in Orlando not like SVG much? I was confused by it also...either there were A LOT of cleveland fans there that night, or maybe a lot of the fans aren't exactly thrilled with Stan. Did anyone else who was at the game notice We were cheering because Stan had the guts to pay a fine and stick up for his team when the refs were making bad calls. Usually after a "T" is called the team gets fired up and plays harder. quote: Posted February 13, 2008 06:59 AM Hide Postquote: Originally posted by jack daniel 999: quote: Posted February 13, 2008 05:18 AM Hide Post quote: Originally posted by jack daniel 999: !!!DESTROY...DESTROY...DESTROY !!! This Thread. Just post a blog like you always do right after a post you don't like Sounds like a good idea... And if you don't like my posts... Like you said ... Don't read them. You're right, I don't . . Trying to forget about Vander Weide's, Otis, and Stan's ineptitude, always trying to stay joyfully positive The only ineptitude is Yours" Our team is not perfect. We can all agree with that. We have had many bad breaks (GH) which paralyzed this organization for 7 years. This is the start of a new beginning. Give it time. If next year we have not filled our holes then I might agree with some of the garbage you are spewing. But your criticism is unfair in year 1. Realistic is another word I see you use.Let's examine what has happened this year. 1.. We signed Rashard who most experts agreed was the best FA on the market. He hasn't lit up the board as we all expected but we are better because of him. 2.. We signed a coach who was ready to sign with another team right out from their doorstep.He has done a great job. 3.. We traded a fan favorite (mine also) for 2 players who have contributed to our team. We need role players as well as stars. By the way Trevor is hurt, an injury we were aware he might be plagued with in his career. 4.. We did not resign Darko. None of us know what his agent demanded from us. If he wanted 10 million to start as speculation was centered on, we did the right thing. He is a big TEASE. 5.. We didn't trade for Pau. It now looks like it was an insider deal because of Jerry West and his ties to both the Lakers and Grizzlies. 6..We need to trade our Expirings since after all we got nothing for them last year. Wrong we got Rashard with the money from our expirings left on the table. 7.. Stans rotations stink. I like everyone want to question or insist that this player or that player should get more time. that's our right as a fan.But we are in first place in our division and 3rd in the East. Sure the East isn't the greatest. But it's were we are. We do have a winning record against the west. 8..You hate Otis. You don't like the way he talks.. I have been a STH since 1986 and have seen almost all the games. In our first year 1989 a group of fans in section 211 gave Otis the battle cry "OTIS THE MAN" after he hit the winning shot against the Bulls. I am willing to give him time. Call me a homer if you want. But I consider this his first year with his imprint on this team. Prior to this year he shared duties with others.As far as his talk,he is a thoughtful man who measures how he answers. Not everyone is a poliician or a bull thrower with the words flowing out of their mouth. Finally Stuff you are the HATEFUL DRAGON.I hope you have a GREAT DAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berto 338 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 I disagree with SVG's roation and his offensive strategy, but to want the guy fired half way through the season is just ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 So does calling your thread "official" make it official? Because I can very easily make an "Official 'The Magic should give DoM $Texas' thread", but it seems unnecessary unless they'll actually give me $Texas to do so.

Did anyone else who was at the game notice this as well and can comment on it? Usually you hear boos when your coach gets a tech right? well, the cinderella fans will try to deny it but under Stan reality is: 1-the team has a mediocre home record for the offensive talent we have. Lost way too many games here, many in a non-thrilling fashion. Consider with weaker squads Magic teams have looked much tougher at home. The Magic already have several home losing streaks this year. Other than the 04 season where we tanked, that never happens 2-Stan benching JJ probably has something to do with his lack of love. Stan is new here and all but his popularity is way below BHill's right now. YOu stubbornly don't play a popular player and then make excuses for it. You're not gonna be liked. Always have the same boring lineups of guys like Meer and Lewis out of position IMO that only leaves 3 players to make the game interesting. 3-Stan's soft/small lineups are causing Dwight to get less monster dunks. Face it, Dwight's game without the dunks isn't as exciting to watch. People are going to the Arena nowadays because it's nice family entertainment. Not because they expect to see the Magic beat anyone. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicintheuk 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Oh my great aunt fanny or expletives to that effect... Of course we should get rid of Stan, let's see now, what is our standing? Oh yes THIRD in the East. 7 games ahed of the nearest team in the South East on which we sit top of. Hmm, the guy brings Turks career year, makes a team player out of Rashard by asking him to play in a different position. Hmm, the guy has the stones to TELL THE TRUTH about Howard after his game on Monday and yet doesn't tell the press exactly what's going on. Yeah - let's fire him!!!! Are you kidding?! I was a doubter early on in the season but only because he looked out of his depth once the other teams knew how we played and it seemed to me at that time that he only had one way to play. But I've seen a change in the guy and this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
