1. The Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy sure is combustible. Yes his club was down nine points. Yes Carlos Delfino had just hit a relatively wide-open three pointer. But when Van Gundy called a timeout it looked like his head was going to pop off. Those who are around the team a lot say this par for the course. One of the jokes at the All-Star weekend was that Van Gundy would have called a timeout during the dunk contest to make sure Howard was playing defence.

2. That said, Howard doesn

I love that SVG would have called time out to get Dwight to play defense in the Slam Dunk competition - I would have loved seeing him put back dunks of Moon, Green, etc.

Go SVG - the greatest Magic coach ever - it will be seen

I think that "c" thing is a Canadian thing. I think there are several words that they change one letter with another that sounds similar.

It's the Charley Rosen's "Let's watch one game and base a player's entire career off of it" approach.

yea, that Dwight Howard lack of defense thing makes me shake my head every time...it's clear to see who doesn't watch the games before they strike pen to paper...

Is it possible to merge this with the Raptor's Magic game thread. Getting tired of the Raptors thinking we suck threads seriously.....

It's funny because it's like the Raptors just play out of their minds against the Magic and it's as if the Magic don't even give a **** when they play the Raptors.

Don't know why that is. It's a similar situation against the Hawks.

Good point. We got a better record by quite a bit.

I liked how Bosh was getting MVP chants when his team is like 4 or 5 game over .500 in the crappy East.

well Chris Bosh regularly shoots 85% from the field, so the MVP chants are super warranted...he's been wrecking the league...did you see what he did in the all-star game?

What's even more obvious is that the Magic are absolutely dirt, and the Raptors are going to have a ring this season. Bosh owns Howard, Oh Canada should be the USA national anthem and clearly, clearly, Bosh is more a marketable player than Dwight Howard can even dream to be.....




This on a BACK TO BACK, after clearly sucking against the Pistons...
