When was the last time we made the championships before that season?

When was the last time we won a game in the Finals?

Which was the only team to beat the Celtics in game 7 in Boston?

There were many special moments in recent years - this season has just made them seem sooooo far away.

Again, I appreciate what they've done for us. BUT, non of that matters to me. . . I'm in the business of winning championships. We have NOT done that. . . Nothing special here. . . The only special thing was as a Magic fan I got to see our guys grow and got to watch them do things that nobody thought we could do. But that's it. We haven't won a championship which is/was our goal.

We have no choice. What a crappy season! We have to cheer for the team that beat us.

If you were in the "business" of winning championships, you wouldn't be here on the board during game days.

what did he say? Guokas knows his sh^t he's a coach as well

He says Stan should of kept Jameer in the game regardless if he was tired or not. Added even if Jameer was tired he could of stayed in and paced himself.

Very true and I'm looking forward to it. It's just not in my nature to cheer for a team that just beat us and ended our season.

Well in that case, Stuff is probably the only thing they can show in these 2012-2013 season ticket advertisements without falsely advertising.

Partly true, but I also think Stan has lost some of the Magic he had with this team. And now that the series is over I'll mention Dwight again and say that the choice between Dwight or Stan became even more obvious over this series... if it must be a choice between the two.

But there are good things here, a bad season is over... Big Baby is worth more than he was a couple of weeks ago, Ryan is still valuable. We have moves that have a chance of being made here. Bring on the off-season, hopefully whoever is on this team will come back hungry and ignore any distractions.

I'm talking about Ish and Ish alone taking over Duhon's spot. You can never convince me that Chris Duhon is a better backup then Ish Smith. I don't even know how many games Ish played in but I know I would much rather win or lose with him then with Duhon. Duhon is instant frustration. I'm not saying that Ish Smith is a good backup, I'm saying that Chris Duhon is that bad.

I am just glad that this pathetic season is over. Worse season in a really long time. Worst season with a winning record ever. It was just doomed from the start. Hope that the Magic clean house and start over.

Well ... they are 3rd string players for a reason. Giving them time wouldn't make them into decent players.

Pretty much every other coach in recent history shortens up his rotation in the postseason. Nothing new or revolutionary.

Yeah, but J-Rich, Hedo, and Duhon are better than Ish, Wafer, and Liggins. . . Also, coaches shorten their rotations but they take the bad players out. . . We give ours more minutes. . .

The guys behind them aren't any better. Our roster is so ******* bad!!!

Sorry I have to get in one last argument here.....

You think Ish isn't better than Duhon :lol:

Ish can actually dribble the ball, get it up the court, make a pass and finish at the basket. Duhon can't do ****!

Did you really take that part seriously?. . . . I clearly meant I want MY team to win championships. Nothing less. . .

I get you.

I would rather have had Von in there in the 4th. But then again, Hedo was our ball handler he didn't do so great either.
