We said this like every games against the Hawks in last playoff.

The more things change, the more they stay the same... how many three's do we have to take every game?

And jameer was 0-10...

True, shooting will not always be that awful, but still that team is seriously flawed and will not go deep into the playoffs.

I would keep a close eye on Byars & Harris cause we can't keep em both.

Unless we get a different coach, they will look exactly like our players we have now.

Someone post the video of the Magic making all the 3 pointers and coming back from 24 so I can feel better.

Tonight was so painful to watch, I love our Magic and usually Stan, but tonight opened my eyes alot. I want to wait a week and watch us play OKC before basing too much off a preseason game, but tonight is the kind of game that get ppl fired and players traded

Can we get Mark Price a jersey?

By a D-Leaguer? :lol:

You better watch that kid, he's going to be our future starting PG. This is two games so far he's outplayed Chalmers.

What really blows my mind is the fact that Otis knew Dwight wanted a trade, and the guy goes out and adds more salary and more years in big baby and j rich. And he really thought that the same team that got embarrassed last year was going to convince Dwight to stay and would magically turn into a contender, it's just sad at this point.

Look we were getting open shots but i'm convinced that we just don't have consistent shotmakers....My problem with Stan's system is that it's largely unchanged from anything we've been doing for the past 3 years....People will say that we just don't have the players to do anything else but it's not that simple to me....The way Stan runs the team is too robotic and rigid and is primarily based on hoping that shots fall...We may not have guys that can create off the dribble but there is NO excuse why we can't have more of a robust Mid-Range game.....You don't need Creators for that...Having a Mid-Range game would be such a good alternative to taking 25 foot 3pts just because it's open

What would be the reason Dwight demands a trade now? "Well I went 2-9 from the field and 1-4 from the FT line. I don't deserve to be on the Magic after tonight's preseason game, trade me." Something like that?

This team as constructed will be lucky to make the playoffs. And if they do they are out in the first round in 4 or 5 when they get stuck playing Miami or Chicago. I love my team and always will, but I do know my basketball. And this roster cannot compete, and someone needs to be held accountable.

Miami
Chicago
NYK
Boston
Atlanta
Indiana
Orlando/Philly/Milwaukee/NJ

You guys will end up with Bynum and Gasol so it'll get better soon. But seriously though.. you need a serious playmaker at the 2. Someone that can attack the basket.

Redick: 26 minutes - 22 points - eFG% .68 - 7/7 FTM-A
Ryan: 28 minutes - 22 points - eFG% .60 - 8 rebounds

Now sure Nelson played like garbage but one bad preseason game for a guy that shoots as well as Nelson does over his career isn't going to tank his value. So yeah, our 'garbage' is good enough to get an Ellis, Iggy, or Granger type player.

Great 1st post!

You just went full (Please Use More Appropriate Word) on your 1st post. Congrats!!!!

Why do we want a player like Dwight to play this way? If D12 is an intelligent player he will leave the team soon. We need to understand that we cant say "please Dwight stay here" and then play like today.

I thought he demanded a trade 2 weeks ago. Or do you mean, like trade me or I'm "injured" and won't play hard? Sort of looks like that now.
