Very devastating loss. The Magic really let that game slip away after they were in control. Really dissapointed that Dwight didnt show up. You cant have ur best player not show up like that. He didnt even try to block that last shot by Prince, he just put his hand up, he didnt go after it like he is capable of doing, that was dissapointing. In like 3 mins Gortat freaking outplayed you man! Can you believe that Jameer went 2-6 on the free throw line????? Last person i expected to choke at the line. How is that possible? He really choked. Then they couldnt get that last rebound.......sighs............
Magic just let another one slip away.....................

As a Detroit fan, the backcourt player I don't want to see get minutes is Dooling. He's by far the toughest defender of your guards, and he also can hit shots, he was Piston killer when he played with Miami as well. Hamilton exploited him, but Orlando shouldn't have left him all alone to guard a determined Hamilton on the same play 4 times in a row.

Honestly I don't think Stan had much of a choice. The same was happening to Evans and Bogans and between the two of them they can't fight through the screen after Rip like Dooling can. Problem was they went post up and Dooling was out of control. Stan cannot control the emotions of his players.

This series did not help Dooling for the off season if the Magic decide to not reup him. Miami sounds like a much better fit for him after the way he has played.

Is there a way to nominate you for best poster? I find myself looking forward to your posts almost as much as the post game press conferences. Great Stuff!
Well I figure that in order to avoid suicide or homicide watch that I try to get some laughs in.
Thanks for the nomination, I think in June/July every year there are board awards (I was in Greece last year and got 2nd in rookie votings from what penn told me so that was sweet).

It's funny how much he sucked balls against us in the mid to late '90s. 2003 turned out be a great thing for him as well.

iirc our Game 3 thread was 90+ pages ...
As for this thread ... misery loves company.

Yeah, sorry my team has to go through yours. If anything I would rather us play in the ECF so you guys can have your way with Boston.
Your baby w/ the magic hat on = love. I still want to have five boys so I can name them after the Pistons starting five, but if I only have one he will be named: Rasheed Wallace Nguyen
