Dont know which is nicer, blow out win, or just winning at home.

Really he is? You can see the future? You know for a fact that he is struggle for the next 20 games? Whatever.

Just watched the highlights back, Shard said he recognises he was/is taking 2 many 3's and now his neck doesnt bother him he's going to look to get to the paint for some easy points and get to the line [something I think we do need to do more, from higher % players].

5 games of 20+ maybe he's starting to feel it now/again.

Funny moment of the night was Dave Steele saying "Ben Wallace is drilling holes on the court with his pivots". LOL i thought that was hilarious.

Apparently Noah and Wallace got into an arguement after the game. Saw it on the Bulls board.

I thought the Bulls looked like a dysfuntional team. They plain look like a bad team. They are not making the playoffs.

Good to get a much needed win. The Magic really needed this one. I wasent happy they allowed Chi to get back in it in the 2nd but the effort in the 3rd was fantastic. The Bulls looked like they were about to quit in the 2nd but the Magic didnt deliver the knockout punch, they finally did in the 2nd half. Its been a while since the Magic had a comfortable win, i would like to see more of that. It was funny to see Cook explode and almost single handedly beat the Bulls lol.

A great and much needed home win last night.

The Magic have needed a win like that for some time.

I definately agree, that guy plays hard on both ends of the floor.

I would put a vote in for when he called Brian Cook, "The Cookie Monster", after a made basket.

We needed a blow out win at home badly. It felt so good. I wonder how many Brian Cook fans are out there. A guy not far from me was just twittering with excitement when Brian came out, and last month I talked to a woman on the shuttle bus who was all excited about seeing him because she knew him as a student in the middle school she taught at when he was a kid. I hope he keeps up the good work. He was working hard on both ends of the floor. He looks a lot better too -- slimmer and faster.

Dwight might not have had super stats, but he was putting out the strongest defensive effort that I've seen from him at home in a long time. Rashard seems to be out of his slump. Hedo's shot still isn't falling, but he was doing a lot out there to make up for it. Mo is making a believer out of me. I'm starting to hate Dooling again. He's fine if you keep the ball away from him. JJ finally comes on in the last three minutes, and Dooling is playing point. What's JJ out there for -- his defense? He can't shoot if he doesn't get the ball. He gets it with three seconds on the clock and three defenders on him. Good work to draw the foul.

Life is beautiful when you play defense. Remember that feeling, guys! The crowd seemed to get more excited over the good defense than the scoring.

DONUT DAY! I don't even like donuts and I've been getting hungry for them.

Good win.

Well done.

The Bulls lack leadership.

I like Maurice Evans too. But sometimes I feel like he shoots too much. And he's not a consistent shooter. If he cuts down his shot attempts he's all good with me.
