funny you mention that...i always wondered what would happen but i guess they'd just make it because it'd be like they were in practice.
maybe make everyone get loud and quiet fast at the same time and do some college like chants throughout the game.

Magic All Time players of the Month:
Tracy McGrady (4: 2001-2003)
Dwight Howard (4: 2006-2007)
Shaquille O'Neal (3: 1993-1994)
Anfernee Hardaway (1: 1995)
This is the 2nd time Dwight has won back to back players of the month (last month of 05-06 season and first month of 06-07 season) he is the only Magic player to ever win the award in back to back months.
Note: in 2001-02 the NBA started naming two players of the month (East/West), prior to that only one player was honoured.

We're only two months into the season. Even so, Dwight deserves the award x3 at this point

Well Dwight had 16pts , 12 rebs and 7 blocks on Oct 31st.
I think that was clearly deserving of PotM for Oct

The new thing to do on opponents FT's is total silence.
Then, just a split second before the release, the entire crowd yells " HA".
I've seen this work at high school games. It's only a matter of time until it hits a campus.
Noise and thunder sticks have no impact.
Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

I've often thought about that. What's worse it seems, is that people are clapping those inflatable batons and making a beat. I think the rhythms are actually helping opponents get into a rhythm in their shots.
