Guys, sorry this game wasn't more fun for you to watch

I would have been very surprised had you beat us after beating Detroit. Before the two games the Magic already had the mindset that 1 of 2 games would be good. This is the type of situation I'd think would catch Toronto as well...

And to think, I almost stopped watching the game after reading a few posts by Solid Snake saying there was no chance we would win...

Keep our 3rd place spot warm!

I think it's a board problem, seriously. It's not the first time that I click the quote button and the text doesn't show up inside the quote tags... it's weird but has happened in other posts before :\

Yeah, I'm noticing it in a few other posts, too. No worries. I'll assume you took a jab at me and we'll call it square.

Okay, people say we should trade for a point guard. But if a point guard is so good, why would any team trade them????? What good point guard is available right now? We never had a chance at Kidd......so that doesn't count.

I mean I love the way Calderon plays but guys like him are not only rare, but if they are out there, they don't get traded.

So its pretty easy to just say trade Hedo for a point guard....

You guys should think about making a run at Cassell. he'll give you that veteran presence and some stability at the 1. He's better than anything you have there now.

read what I wrote in my last message to you

About the singular guard? Yeah, I apologized for that in a previous post. You did just bash Jameer.

I don't care, Nelson got worked badly. He is not a starter and neither is the other 2, but put Arroyo or Dooling in for that time and you may see better results. Just to see the team results.

ahah, I was laughing at your last sentence, the one you were talking about defending the team on this board, taking the pride, etc. That looked like a coach speech at halftime :lol:

A team like memphis has some nice young pointguards who I believe are both going to be much better than Jameer.

Or giving up Hedo for a higher up draft pick and grabbing one of the many talented pointguards in this years draft might pay off big time, and is definitely workable.

Also shopping for pointugards overseas may not be a bad idea. Europe is loaded with talented players. We got calderon from Europe for dirt cheap. We got Garbajosa from europe and he was playing outstanding for us before his ankle injury put him out of action. We got Anthony parker from europe last year (a two time euro mvp) and hes been a starter for us ever since playing very well.

Europe is loaded with talented players I think theres a point-guard to be had there yet.

One word: Diamantidis.
I'd kill to get him on this team.

Welp, 1 of 2 back to back on the road.

I'd much rather have the Detroit win and a Raptors loss than a Detroit loss and a Raptors win.

Raptors were playing over their heads anyway. Not much we can do.

We're still locking up that 3 seed pretty soon with our easy ass schedule.

IMO Dooling got burned worse than Jameer on that pick and roll.

Surprising to me.

Howard is a beast in the paint. The only problem is Lewis, he's a great talent, but his contract might hinder the Magic team in the future.

Good game guys. Don't worry, it ain't no biggie. The Raps have proven that they can beat any team on any given night, same with the Magic. It's just that Bosh always gets up for games against Dwight and you guys were in a back to back.

Post #519 » by **FFBlitzace** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 7:23 am

Meh. I hate losing to the Raps, but we blew out Detroit last night, so I'm content with the split. That's not a very easy back to back on the road.

Thoughts on the game...

There was not one thing they did that we could guard. Chris Bosh we could not guard, we didn
