Well I hope our GM has some trades up his sleeve. I'm ready to shake the team up. Everyone except Vuc.

I just don't understand the way AN was given minutes tonight.

Would hate to go to a game like this, gotta be tough to deal with the Knicks fans in the arena.

I went to ONE Magic-Knicks game. Never again. Completely obnoxious those Knick fans were. Two of them were trying to pick a fight with an elderly man for chrissakes.

So they were fighting with the typical magic fan?

[Howard Mass]

A tough loss down the stretch for The Magic.

May the streak end Monday night.

[Last Guardian]

Nicholson was just playing too well. Hennigan ordered him out of the game, then slapped himself for drafting so well.

[KillMonger]

I can take a loss, but not a close loss we got to start putting guys out there that can get things done man. Stop experimenting with lineups it just makes you look like an amateur. If you're going to play McRoberts don't play him out of position having him guard someone who is way faster than he is it's just logical. Nicholson has the hot hand don't put him in the freezer for no apparent reason.

Also this is becoming a recurring theme WHY DON'T WE GET THE BALL TO VUCCI ENOUGH????? i mean the man works so hard on the boards but we don't reward him with the touches that he deserves i don't get it. The way we've been losing and the guys coach is putting out there on the floor i'm really starting to believe this "Tanking" business.

BBD's trade value is skyrocketing with each loss.

[vagnermagic]

First game I could watch for complete this season.

Really liked Nicholson and Jones, especially rebounding the ball.

Don't get why Nicholson played onlye 13 min. He should be out there in the 4th, so should Jones, to defend Carmelo.

Vucevic is a great rebounder, but he doesn't get too involved in the offense. From what I saw, the kid can pass the ball.

And what about Turkoglu? Damn, he shouldn't have been on court at all. Just awful.

[JasonBlanchard]

This loss was all.coaching. we've been pulling our guys when they get hot. Too much mcBob and Turk, not enough Moe and.Dreeeeeeew.

Sorry for all the period s. typing from my phone

Yech. Coaches always seem to go with vets a lot, it seems. I just popped by here to post something that's more cheerful and upbeat than our season right now: Preteen girls cybernetized and mentally reprogrammed in order to be turned into assassins. If I could have found a descriptive Bokurano trailer I might have put that up here instead.

[freespirit9]

our coach is being (Please Use More Appropriate Word). jones should have been guarding anthony. i mean wtf is mcroberts doing closing out a game, let alone guarding the best scorer in the game, then you have jameer getting 30 by halftime, and barely gets a shot in the fourth?

and lets not even mention this idiot not letting nicholson get back into either half, but he choses to start him? the kid was killing it, and both times he doesnt get back off the bench

this game was ours, and once again suspect coaching. same with miami game, mcbob guarding lebron, wtf ?

[fendilim]

lol at Jacque relying way too much on the vets.

[pinoynurse]

the only reason i can see why nicholson didnt play much was because he only got 2 rebounds wherein mcrob got 10 and had 5 assists. still, you gotta let the rooks play in order for them to learn.

[doct3r dr3]

lol nice sig, fendi

[Ducklett]

We took a chance on a young coach and it is showing. The dude has worse rotations than SVG, and that is saying something, because SVG is the guy that lost the finals by throwing Jameer in while he was injured.

[MagicTownBaller]

I didn't know we played at MSG today, I could have sworn that we played at the Amway Center today. Oh wait, we did. You couldn't tell with THE WHOLE ARENA ROOTING FOR THE KNICKS! I'm about ready to be done with the NBA as a whole because of this bullcrap. I wanna see my team cheered for when we play at home, not see the other team cheered for. When we were a contender, nobody rooted for us when we were playing away games. Just completely unbelievable.

[pinoynurse]

we can only hope that these erratic substitutions are attempts to showcase these players for future trades. if not then...someone needs to go back to coaching school
