This is the most discouraging performance I can recall this season. Not the worst loss, but the worst effort and execution. Ugly from the opening tip.


Maybe we’ll get a Cole & Gary trade to cheer us up.

I know Mosley like to put the Suggs-Franz-Paolo-WCJ-JI lineup at the end of the 4th but I think that is a mistake. If we can't get stops in the 3rd quarter, that lineup will be useless. We've just been down all day, couldn't get any closer than 7 points. It's not happening tonight.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Get Paolo his one more point to extend his stupid 20-5-5 streak and then get him out of the game.

If this game doesn’t put a big spotlight on this teams needs I don’t know what does. A backcourt scorer, rim protector and a good rebounder would all be godsends.

All I asked was to keep it close so the death lineup could crush the 4th. Oh well.

Gonna have a cig and bounce. Maybe head up to Delray to stay with sis for the night, drive home tomorrow. If you wanna see the Magic play away, Miami tix are dirt cheap right now and worth the drive if you're somewhere in FL.

You don’t need to even compare the two. People would rather Carter take away possessions from players that actually generate offense while playing **** defense.
