OK, we somehow won, but our effort in the final stages of the game was not enough come play-off time. Hedo and Alston almost costed us the game.

ok the magic won but I just gotta say this


1. they choked hard in this game

2. they started playing the score instead of the game in late 3rd/early 4th which let boston back in


with garnett playing sparingly, and the magic at home..c'mon you have to play better than that if you expect to be a contender and go deep in the playoffs...just my opinion...im happy for the win for trying to be honest...

Hedo didn't save anything, please stop.


If you're more comfortable with Pierce isoing at the top of the key with more than 3 seconds remaining, then so be it. I'm definitely not.

Again, very smart foul Hedo.

Nice win, gotta play better than that to win though when Garnett is back fully healthy.

Rafer and Hedo was terrible tonight.

It became the Hedo show in the 4th. That is a problem. He isn't good enough. Especially tonight when he was having a terrible shooting night anyway. Gotta stay with the game plan and play inside out regardless of the consequences.

Our offense needs consistency. We must go to Lewis more instead of this crap we get from Turk.

Nice to celebrate a win, but we can go ahead and drop back to the 3rd seed now.
