You know you suck when you shut down Dwight and still lose at home.

Horrible. What else is there to say? Torched by D-League scrubs yet again.

Van Gundy outclassed D'Antoni and it's not even funny.

OK.. I never blame the coach.. but today that changes..

First , we play a good defensive game.. not sure how the heck we let the bozo trio of anderson, stankylu and reddick, look like the celtics big 3, but just inexecusable..

the offense is still all melo, bail us out iso's, but at times we did have some good ball movement...

My big beef is with 6 minutes left, the magic go to a zone, and what does dantoni do? he goes with douglas? really, why not bring in harrelson along with novak.. why did we get him dantoni??? why!!!!!!!!!!! sit chandler, dwight was doing nothing, plus he can't hit FT's.. let amare guard dwight and let melo create and hit novak and jorts for shots.. shoot them out of the zone..

Honestly, if dantoni is going to mail it in.. just quit dude, QUIT!!! I watched vangundy go from Q richardson to earl clark trying to find matchups that work.. what do we do? we bench the best shooters while being stifled by zone...

yea, the players share some of the blame, amare still doesn't look comfortable, we missed open shots, but honestly, the coach didn't give us a chance to win....

To me, just trash the season if dantoni is going to mail it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tyson chandler didn't step out on the shooter on ALL the screens and it killed us. the magic got all those open 3s

So how long must we go on with the D'Antoni charade again? Another 15 games? Another 30? A few more seasons?

they shot their open shots well. we didn't. it was really that simple.

For 3.5 qtrs, this loss was better than most of our wins.

I completely agree about putting in Novak and taking out either STAT or Chandler.

Chandler earned his money today.

Give Chandler a break man, he played an excellent defensive game against Howard. If Chandler steps out on the shooters, Howard has a 30-20 game. Pick your poison.

We have no experience playing together in close games and no PG, that kills you in the fourth quarter.

I'm half joking when I say this (not really), but I think we should've amnestied Amare instead of Chauncey.

In all seriousness, I think we would be a better team and we'd have the money to sign Dwight or Deron outright after this season.

Tyson is the heart of the team at this point.

i'll take howard with 30 points rather than anderson with 30 and reddick and turkoglu with whatever they had.
