It's not as much as losing but the way we lost.

I wish we had lost by 40 or something, would prefer a blowout
then to lose like this.

I have mixed feelings with Dwight. I love him, I want him to get his touches, I know he's trying and all...but he's so much talking with the refs that his head isn't even in the game.How many blocks from him resulted in goaltending ? He needs to learn to not block those shots, when the ball is going down. Haywood had a couple widen open shots, all went in. Dwight didn't even contest it, hell Dwight wasn't even near him. But still, he tried his best and even blocked a great shot, he has much to learn.

But what about Shard ? Our max player. His performance is just inexcusable, we needed him more then anything. One extra shot was enough, but nah he couldn't even do that. My most hated player tonight.

If Haywood is gonna get this kind of respect over Dwight, perhaps we should consider throwing that game against the Sixers and helping their 6th seed chances...

And yeah, that 1-21 stat.....you couldn't make that up. It's completely and utterly unbelievable.

How the f*** did we win that one game?

It's ok to criticize a player even when he's from the same country as you.

Losing record? We're 1-21 when losing after 3. That's not just losing, that's like, getting your as pwned EVERY **** TIME minus 1.

We suck. Exit stage right Magic.

i'd rather be better at closing out games then always coming from behind to win. coming from behind all the time usually means u suck and your team relys entirely on a superstar like the cavs.

yea praising the only guy that shows up makes ME an idiot...at least if i was a hater i'd have the balls to say it

There goes Dwight's double/double streak ... again.

How does he only have 3 points on 6FGA and FTAs in 30 mintues?

Yeah but again....

1-21

We ain't talkin like 10-12 or anything here. We're talking automatic loss if we trail, even by just 1.

LOL we played one of the worst games of the season. Other than Hedo, the rest of the team shot a percentage in the twentys. We had stupid TO's. 2 of our best 3 players had basically their worst games of the season, we missed several missed FT's late and we still almost won it. We have a good team.

Post #553 » by **SOUL** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 1:55 am

Everybody just chill out. In the grand scheme of things this loss doesnt matter at all. We sucked and still almost won. Hedo carried us when Dwight/Shard sucked, yes he wasnt Mr Clutch down the stretch but it was close.

It would be good to know thought, that if you needed to (like 22 times this year) that you could do it.

Simplicity0 · Post #556 » by **Simplicity0** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 1:57 am

At least we don't lose leads in the 4th quarter. 44-4 is the best in the league. Just lead by one going into the 4th and we're good.

well then we would have like 65 wins. its better to be a closer than a come from behind team. good teams are usually winning at the end of the 3rd quarter its the crappy teams that are losing.

I'd have no problem with that ;-)

Seriously, 5 or 6 out of 22 would be nice, instead of once.

Foyle took as many shots as Dwight, both shot the ball 6 times.

WOW.

Agreed, agreed, agreed. Yes, that record is awesome, and props to the Magic for pulling it off.

But still.....are you kidding me, with the losing after 3 thing? That 1-21 record is just unbelievably (and embarrasingly) bad. It's what I would expect from a team that's 20 games under .500, not 20 games over .500.

But still, hey go Magic get back on track...bleh...no we're good, you can't win 'em all.
