Pierce and Rondo came in the game when we were up 10 and they got half of the 1/4 of rest while we played Hedo the entire time. I dont think that is smart, we were up 14 with so much time left.

I dont know ..... if he is not in control of what is going on on the court does it really matter ... he still fails ....... right? :wink:

Fans going crazy, KG doing the stupid finger thing, Allen hitting 3 after bricking the whole games, us launching the dumbest shots ever - if there every was a time to legally kill somebody that moment would be it.

Oh and can I just say one more time... Kevin Garnett is a punk. Thanks.

Hedo and Shard were probably the only two bright spots for the Magic today.
Alston got some good scoring numbers, but at least half of his shots were bad circus shots that were dropping somehow.

Either way, the blame falls on SVG.

If he's calling plays w/ ball and player movement, and Hedo is standing around like humpty **** dumpty every time, he needs to pull his sorry rear from the game. We dont have Lebron James on our team. WE NEED BALL MOVEMENT AND PLAYERS CUTTING TO THE BASKET.

Hell, give me Jeff Van Gundy. He's the better brother.

EDIT: I'm not speaking about this game exclusively either (as Hedo played fairly well), but more on the season as a whole.

It was all in our favor and what to they do? The same as always. Stop executing the plays, give the ball to Hedo go 1-on-1 and pray for him to do something. I mean, why not continue to move the ball? If that kind of play gave us the lead, why not continue?

I'm very, very pissed at this team, at the refs, at the NBA, but I won't fool myself. I'll be here suffering just as much as I did today in game 6. And if they somehow win that game, they showed today that it's not impossible to win in Boston, in fact, it was even an easy game today, under control, until they screwed it over.

I was waiting for that. Did you even watch the game you fool? The Celtics comeback came in large part when Hedo was NOT handling the ball. Hedo was giving the ball up early in the shot clock and took one shot total in that comeback. If anything, that finish was an argument in putting the ball in Hedo's hands and having him NOT give it up.

I'm not saying it's Hedo's fault, but it's what we did the whole season, it's a fact. How many times they posted up Lewis in the 4th quarter? None. And Dwight? Zero. It was 1-on-1 all the time. In the first minutes, Hedo had great plays and gave us a 14 point lead with great assists. But, as always, the other team starts to put some pressure and our team starts chucking threes and not moving the ball at all. How many times that happened during the whole year?

All I said is I'm sick of it. It's clear that when they got that 14 point lead they were sharing the ball and not forcing shots with 2 seconds on the clock. The only question is: why do they stop every single time?

Rashard had all the chances in the world in those last minutes. Frankly he is a huge reason we collapsed. Missed shots an turnovers. I hardly think the problem was Rashard not getting enough opportunities down the stretch.

I can't jump on the Stan is the problem bandwagon. Before FSU won their first championship, eveyone said BB couldn't win the big one. Same thing with Tony Dungy and the Bucs. I believe the problem is the players. Not their abilities, but their mindset, and, frankly, their heart.

Chris Mannix on SI.com had an article about our achilles heel for these playoffs: lack of a go to scorer (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/w ... index.html). We do have one, unfortunately, he's sitting on the bench in a suit.

I'm afraid the Magic are going to sit on their hands this offseason, and tell us that had Jameer been here, we'd have gotten farther.

In my humble opinion, Jameer's heart, Dwight's brawn (and hopefully refined post game) coupled with someone, anyone, who can create their own shot, would solidify our team for years to come.

The Magic can still win this series, and I believe in it.

I hope they learn something from tonight's game, cause it's pretty obvious that they have all the tools to beat Boston two more times.

He went from being my favorite player, to the player that would kill me if I encounter him on the streets.
Why would he kill me, you ask? Well, if I saw him, I'd run straight to him, and kick him in his nut sack, thus probably enraging him, and following with him beating the life out of me...

I basically hate everyone on the team right now.

Keep Lee and blow the rest of that sh*t up.

Marbury and Davis going off in the 4th is a joke. I guess I can only laugh at the absurdity of those 2 guys going off.

Stan should've called timeout when Marbury hit that second long jumper. It was not the time to keep AJ on the court.

Dwight is going up against 2 really good post defenders. No one was complaining about his post moves most of the year and the phil series. Boston has always been tough on Dwight. My only problem is he is letting it get in his head. He going to the same moves and they know its coming.

IF there is a script designed to shut up those classless Boston fans and KG (I'm not talking of all Boston fans, I've found very intelligent and unbiased fans), this would be it. Winning game 7 in Boston would be the most delicious revenge I could think of. I don't think it will happen, but I'll watch until the last minute, and rant until the last minute.

By the way, where's HECTOR? I'd love to get insight from a very intelligent Magic fan about tonight...

Post #1118 » by **SOUL** » Wed May 13, 2009 3:21 am

I'm debating even watching game 7 if there will be one - its going to be heartbreak somehow

Wasn't trolling, just answering your bitter post- but yeah probably shouldn't have come over here after a loss.

Either way- good game.

Yeah, staying in your board is a good idea.

Well atleast Rashard admits that they are smarter than we are....
