Orlando owes me money. I shouldn't be watching these games for free.

I wanted to post in the 1st page you shouldn't count this towards your record. There was no way we would win this game, your thread doesn't deserve the blame.

That's exactly what's happening.

Can't say I blame them either.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm not all worked up about the way the Magic are playing. A) You're never as good as you look when you're winning, and never as bad as you look when you're losing. B) No team can play this bad for very long. I think it's impossible. So even before the inevitable Dwight trade in 1.5 months or so, I think the Magic will rebound a bit and settle into somewhere between "11-4 and kind of fairly good" and "1-5 and record-settingly awful." Things will balance out.

And anyway, who cares about wins and losses at this point? The Magic aren't jockeying for any particular playoff seed and aren't all-out tanking. It's all just a pointless muddle until Howard is shipped out. I say relax.

I feel awful for you guys. Your team is letting you down and you have to listen to this clown. I will be sure to avoid the Orlando stream for as long as I live!

LOL... Richie is a big homer. He's not our normal guy. He usually does radio.

I miss Battie. Hes a vet who could provide some leadership to this team.

Not your fault bro. This is out of our control now. Changes have to be made now. The schedule only gets harder from here.

Man where was this fight the 2nd and 3rd quarter? Hmmm maybe Dwight being gone won't be so bad considering we seem to play better without him....Dwight is a ball stopper when he has his offense going....when he doesn't he is just a black hole offensively...didn't like his body language either....I think Dwight might have checked out....Dwight looked like he was only 60% there

There is NO ONE with the exception of maybe Q on this team brave enough to stand up to Dwight. Hell I think Otis and Stan are afraid of him to be honest. Much like the teams in Cleveland with Lebron everyone is afraid to call him out when he is not doing his part.

doesn't matter. It is most certainly undeserved and not fair at all, but no coach can survive this. No coach should survive this.

lmao at Magic fouling and chucking at garbage time to make the score respectable. Was that Stan trying to limit the damage to his rep?

I I didn't know any better, I'd say they were doing it on purpose.

Like their own little middle finger to Dwight.

Snake thats all and good and I get where you are coming on that but when the team is getting blown out (and this was one regardless of the final score) its a bit much to be harping on the coach not playing a bench player even more minutes. Von played most of his minutes before late in the 4th and we were still down by nearly 20. Face it he and Clark got a good amount of burn tonight and they had no impact on the win column.

I think it's obvious Dwight needs to go, but looks like Otis is going to try and hold onto him until the last possible minute to get a deal. That said, no point of bringing new guys in now to sell Dwight on staying here, the other guys will just convince them not to play hard with Dwight. If that's the case, I don't think Otis fires Stan and will just torture the franchise until he can unload Dwight. I think Otis understands this is Dwight's doing but is trying to manage his trade and get a good package for him.

Not a fan of the Magic, but I have to wonder why SVG gave Ryan Anderson only 26 minutes. They guy had 20 rebounds.

Did Anderson get injured?
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.
