Matador because he's killing our chances of playoff success?

It's a good thing he wasn't put in a real military situation during compulsory service with the Turkish Army.

Hedo would have been the guy who held the grenade for a second too long. Gortat then would have blamed the sergeant for inadequately preparing the army for battle. Hedo, upon his release, would have then proceeded to shoot and and miss twenty enemy combatants before dropping his gun, picking it up, and then throwing it to an unarmed Armenian or something.

Also try posting him up some. I know it didnt work the other game but I think that was because the passes to him werent that great.

They tried to get him involved he crap the bed so we should get him involved some more? When are people going to realize what you see with Lewis is what you get. If we wanna fix this him and Turk need to be shipped.

What was Hedo doing on the last play? Seriously, I'd like to see a replay, but I think I saw him complaining to the refs about the travel instead of going for the ball. :banghead:

He isn't bringing anything to the table right now, so his minutes should be going to MP.

This was like a game last year, we were down big then came back to tie miss a ton of opportunity's to take the lead then to lose at the buzzer. I thought we corrected it with the comeback wins we had this year but Hedo misses point blank layups and we turn the ball over and force the clock down to then force a shot up.

I'm gonna be surprised if we win this series, its possible but right now we are very inconsistent on both ends of the court, the only hope is that this comeback sparks something and we get rolling, IMO it wont.

I hope Stern, who was in attendance, liked all the flops they did..his off season plan is really working.

The run that got us back in the game late in the 3rd started when Hedo left and MP came in. When Hedo came back, the offense stalled again. When Hedo comes in, for some reason SVG insists on running the offense through him.

Peja was NEVER this awful. His scoring seemed to fail him but he never made the boneheaded plays Hedo does. Maybe he's just trying to hard, blame Stan for that. Make him the 4th or 5th option and maybe he'll get it together.

Did you post in the game we won?

Dude, get off my back. I don't care about the game they won or the 59 they won in the regular season. I don't know how you can watch this pitiful performance by the Magic tonight (minus dwight) and still have the balls to be arrogant.

Gee lets ask those who feel this team would be lost without Hedo's ballhandling skills.

Or because he had no interest in standing in front of Thad Young tonight.

What makes me mad is those 3 possessions when Dwight was going off. 2 ugly shots by AJ. Then another bad possession leading to a shot against the shot clock by Pietrus.

Tonight? Don't mean the whole series. We seriously don't have anyone who can guard their men straight up in our starting 5 outside of Howard.

They tried to get him involved early and you know what he did NOTHING. Turk and him should be put on a plane to which ever team wants them just them both out of here.

Seriously? The guy's taken 37 shots in THREE games. He had ONE shot in the first quarter tonight. He had two in the first quarter of game one, and four in the first quarter of game two. 7 total shots in the first quarters of this series. Overpaid he may be, but he's still the most natural scorer on this Orlando team. Yet despite that, our offense has him camped out at the three point line half the time, waiting to see what new and exciting way Hedo can come up with to miss a layup or turn the ball over. I mean, how many other players with Lewis' natural scoring ability get so few looks early on?

Lewis has also been awful but can't blame him for the loss. Blame Stan. Thats two games in this series where it's been tied with ten seconds or less and both times they have scored to beat us. What about a defensive unit out there Stan?

It's games like this that test one's patience and faith.

Hmm. Shard's guy got 8 points. Turk's went off for 29 on 60% shooting.

You're like a fair weather fan, but with a very strange twist.
