Magic fan here. Congrats on winning the series. You guys are very poised, athletic, tough, and extremely well coached. Obviously Orlando was no match for you guys with Howard being out (and the year long debacle with his contract extension, trade rumors, SVG, Otis, etc.). Too much was going against Orlando.

However, all that put aside, Indiana was absolutely the better team in all areas, and they played great basketball at both ends. Great composure, IQ, adjustments, and execution imo.

Anyway, from everyone here in Orlando (and most likely the rest of the league), please do us all a favor...

...BEAT THE HEAT (If NY doesn't miraculously come back and win it, but I doubt that will happen)! ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THEM! If any team can get past them in the east, you guys can!

Good luck in the 2nd round... and good game! Congrats again. See you guys next season.

Thanks brotha! #beat the Heat

Congrats!

I hope you beat Miami, but realistically looking at it, you have no shot and neither does any team remaining.

Good luck anyways!

hope indiana beats the heat. good luck and contrags

Thanks guys. I'm really impressed with the way the Magic played that series. I hope your front office can settle things down and rebuild what should be a title contender.

Thanks a lot for the good words, guys. It's appreciated. Thanks for being classy

Let's hope that we beat the Heat. I doubt that we'll do this but we can always hope.

Go Pacers

Yes. Win or lose, I just want the Pacers to give me something to be proud of every game this series.

I was expecting the officiating to be a lot worse, so that tells you my level of confidence in the matter.

In the end the disparity was no more than what you would expect if you had home court advantage.

Granger and George were the problem because they were extra soft today. I mean damn, if neither can score, is it too much to ask for a lot of hustle and a few violent fouls. We would have been better off with AJ Price and Lance Stephenson in there, how sad.

Why can't George Hill or Collison dominate Chalmers or whatever other scrub they throw out there? We have to substantially win this matchup to have a chance.

Also, I do not understand why our frontcourt did not capitalize after Bosh left the game. We should have absolutely dominated freakin Turiaf and Haslem. Another failure on our part.

Blame this one on the Pacers, not the refs. Sure there were stupid calls, but we had our chances and didn't take advantage of them, aka. Deer in the Headlights syndrome. I thought we cured that last year against Chicago.

Wrong thread?

Anyway, I agree that the problem was not the refs.

You have to expect more than 2 / 15 shooting out of DG and PG.

Why would you go on the Pacers board to say this? Especially since it's very possible that they can...

Sonics fan here. Just wanted to say that it's been a joy watching your team this series. West has been the perfect addition to your team, Hill is just a very underrated star who brings Championship know-how, and I love how Granger has been getting in Lebron's face. Way to not back down. Your fan base should be very proud of your team. Kudos.

We have no beef with people being realistic. Since he said that he hoped that we could do this, I think that most of us are fine with

Thanks a lot. We are very proud, indeed

I want to ask you a question, though. Since the Sonics were disbanded, do you root for any team? Or are you just a fan of players / good basketball? Will you support the next team that comes to Seattle or the next team to adopt the SuperSonics moniker? I'm curious
