I have a question for the Magic fans reading this thread. Would you prefer to see Dwight get a standing ovation tomorrow night or would you rather the crowd boo Dwight upon his introduction?


Edit: never mind! I realize this is a pretty stupid question. Go easy on him tomorrow would ya? He's a sensitive guy! Lol


There's no doubt Dwight will be Boo'd. It might not be as bad as Bron back to Cleveland, but it will be close.

Goodluck tonight. I'm curious to know what you guys think about Tobias & some of our other young guys after the game.

Dwight Howard has no class and deserves no ovation.

what a freaking coward this slava guy is, no better than a raptors fan.


tell em DEEP!
Ehh.........I'm not engaging in talk with other fans anymore since I was labeled "hostile towards visitors".And as long as they don't respond to me then we don't have a problem.


But yeah it is cowardly to just concede a loss just because an ex player is going back to where he played. Orlando is 18-46 for a reason. They're a team on rebuild mode, but I understand that. I say we get the W. I've got a list of games that we've blown, the first one to the Magic was one of two that's on this trip.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch this game. With the Jazz winning tonight we need to get this game! Dwight is going to need to stay strong mentally and fight through the boo's he'll receive

Lets go Lakers!

Their schedule is certainly tough. They should be able to beat the Knicks in Salt Lake City.

I think you guys aren't giving the lakers enough credit realizing what this game means to dwight. they''ll come out extra focused and hungry just as the magic will, think that should offset it.

We also didn't look that great in our last home game vs NO. Not having a legit backup center is killing us right now.

If the Lakers are losing at the start of the second Q when Dwight needs to rest we could be in trouble.

I am pretty sure the boos will be louder than shaq received. I hope it is like a playoff game in the Amway. They should have shaq/stan van gundy commenting on the game and put it on ESPN at the last second LOL

As a Magic fan, being honest, I'm more concerned about Kobe than Dwight.

Just reading a couple of quotes he's said about how he would handle the situation if he was in Dwight's shoes......he almost sounds as if he's more fired up about it than Dwight. I just have a feeling he's going to take this on as his burden and go off...

Good luck tonight fellas, can't lie, I want this win more than any other win this season....this is basically like our playoffs lol.

Ironic thing is, Kobe is actually a childhood hero of mine and still my favorite player....I think this will be one of the few times where I seriously hope he doesn't do well, lol.

We should definitely win this game. Orlando sucks. Forget the extra motivation. We see that night in and night out. It's the burden of the Purple and Gold.

My main worry for tonight is that Dwight just tunes out. His psyche is so fragile......
