Go Magic. You have to win this.

Bought some decent upper bowl seats on StubHub for rather cheap. We may me crippled, and they may be the Bobcats, but it's Fan Appreciation Night. They give out a good amount of free stuff.

This is going to sound really bad, but I want the season to end as quickly as possible so... I hope we lose out, NY wins out and we get swept by Miami... I really do love my Orlando Magic but I feel like this is what we need for big changes to actually happen.

Motto for this game: Win or go to 7th Place.

Even if we lose to the Bobcats and Grizzlies. Knicks still can lose to the Clippers or Bobcats (2 game win streak!) and we still end up 6th.

I honestly don't care who we face though. All about attitude and planning.

Maybe the funniest thing I have ever read on this board.

I expect Jameer to go nuts on them (if fully healthy). I would prefer them to lose but these players are playing hard and want to win. They want no part of Miami so I expect maximum effort.

lol.. I forgot that they don't even have diaw. Must win to clinch 6th, nothing else matters.

I thought this was a flippant remark, and looked up that this is a real injury. Wow: and I thought Hedo had it bad.

Dr. Daniel Spagnoli from Charlotte, who cut Najera from ear-to-ear across the top of his head in order to peel back the skin on his face and repair the shattered bones beneath it.

Najera walked away with 12 screws and a mesh screen inserted in his forehead ...

OUCH!!!

Caution: this is a very graphic story.

The good news is that the media reports he is healing well!

Forget 6th, we're talking pride here - we already lost a game to the Lolcats this season. If they lose their last two games, they will have the worst record of all time by win %. We can't be the team that lost to them twice and helped them avoid that.

Pretty much Mitch,

We can't lose this game. I don't want to go to the post season just to get smashed by Miami.

Maybe Wafer should be backup PG? He can handle the ball, he has been passing well, he can break down the defense, he is fast as hell and he is tall. Just a thought. Our defense is usually poor against PGs anyway, he certianly does more than Duhon and seems more comfortable than Ish.

MAGIC MUST CRUSH BOBCATS!!!

Enuff said.

The biggest game of our season, comes against the statistically worst team in NBA history. Will make for an interesting story line no matter how it ends.
