Gortat = Victory cigar. Got a board and would've dunked on Brezec had Chuck not thrown a piss poor pass.
Very surprised Kebo and Jameer were on the court with everything I heard before I went.
First time without Paul Porter and Sweater Vest Guy for the first time in a while.

Nick honored for getting into the Central Florida Hall of Fame.

Some of the highlights tonight were sickness. ADONAL BROUGHT DOWN THE HAMMER, OH MY GOD.
Dwight came up with some huge alley oop dunks that quieted the Raptor fans.

Sean Corbin didn't blow one correct call until halfway through the 4th quarter, I swear he's always betting against us.

Dwight had a hell of a 4th quarter.
As usual, Mr. 4th quarter sends us home with the 'W'.
Still undefeated when holding teams under 95 points.
Overall, solid win. One victory away from tying last season's win total.

Yes, Sean Corbin is one of, if not THE worst Ref in the league.

Including Violet Palmer and Lou Grillo. Corbin beats them all.

so what happened to JJ time...

AdamTheGreek · Post #424 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Wed Mar 5, 2008 5:16 am

Stan really doesn't want JJ to play. Kebo was hurt that whole game and had heat and ice packs over his stomach and side.

What happened to Kebo? Also what got into Foyle when he authorized that dunk?

I'm in that group.

Perhaps him taking the summer off from his NT helped?

But this is not the Hedo of previous seasons.

He did not take the summer off this year... he actually was the the only player for Turkey having a good tournament in the Euro Champs. He had an impact comparable to other NBA stars such as Gasol & Dirk so you might argue that playing for the NT team did help his confidence...

One interesting stat is the lack of interesting stats.

The Magic did not blow out the Raptor in any one scoring line; just were a but better in all of them. A bit better summed to a crushing win.

As Nicole Schzerzinger said, I'll be your love Orlando Magic fans.

I'll be your love (L) Hedo & Dwight. Continue to rock.

I'm fine with Hedo and Shard starting at the 3 and 4. One of them usually comes out halfway through the 1st anyway. However we do need another big. Even if he does come off the bench.

Except Hedo actually scores in such positions, Jameer can't shoot and Rashard can't drive. Hedo is pretty damn good at both, along with being a pretty good passer.

You obviously havent ever seen Shard play in seattle and havent been paying attention this year because Shards driving floater is one of his go-to moves

haha, i said it was a horrible game and that's what he replies with...

i mean, in all seriousness, the NBA should have just stopped that game last night and let both teams go home...it was god awful in the first half...

but yea...

CourtsideTV · Post #434 » by **CourtsideTV** » Wed Mar 5, 2008 2:04 pm

Im still trying to figure out who passes the ball less..

tj ford, arroyo, or steve francis..

theTHIEF · Post #435 » by **theTHIEF** » Wed Mar 5, 2008 2:15 pm

well TJ was on fire and outside of Parker the rest of his team wasn't doing crap, so I say forget it, let him work...there were some bad passes, but that happens...he had 13 points in the 4th...nothing wrong with that...

Francis in his prime was actually a heck of a passer...so I'd say Arroyo/TJ/Francis if thems is my choices...

Keith was supposed to be out with some stomach related injury.
But with him playing, he had ice applied to his left part of his stomach and his side. Was wincing a bit too on the court.

i just can't believe JJ didnt get any play, especially with how Mo and Bogans played...

CourtsideTV · Post #438 » by **CourtsideTV** » Wed Mar 5, 2008 2:24 pm

jj's our secret weapon for the playoffs..we cant let teams study his game until them..thats why stans holding back...he's going to be our john stockton in the playoffs.

But he was untouchable for deadline trades :banghead:

This situation certainly is an enigma. We won't trade him and we won't play him. What's the dealio?

theTHIEF · Post #440 » by **theTHIEF** » Wed Mar 5, 2008 2:56 pm

your question has no answer...

seriously though, I bet Redick is upset today...I'm sure he thought he'd get some time in yesterday, especially after it was reported in that slant rag by Povtak...
