[quote="magicfan4life05"]why wont steele be quiet about the elbow?[/quote]

Why won't people quit comparing Howard and Turks value. Talk about a waste of breath. Speaking of waste of breath, why is Carlos Arroyo wearing a uniform?

Why are we up by 18 and I still feel like punching a baby?

Hedo's been making that move all year. Now it's a travel.

PASS THE EFFIN BALL TO DWIGHT.

We're up 20, let's feed him.

You can't judge a guys impact by his stats.

I just think Hedo has had more of an impact on this team. He's having a career year, and it seems like as he goes, we go. He's been playing his best ball this past week and a half, and we're what? 5-1?

As I said, long-term I would choose Dwight over Turk, but Hedo has been hitting big shots for us all year, WHILE being our best passer and slasher.

He does everything for us.

Dwight has a long ways to go offensively before I can proclaim him the best at anything. Although, if this was last year, I'd be saying Howard is the man hands down.

Do you think he would be able to have that sort of impact on a team where he doesn't have the spacing and defensive freedom afforded by playing with Howard and Lewis?
If so, please explain.

Not when he's playing like this.

In case you cant read, I said "This year" before backing Hedo in this convo.

I have been a Magic fan for 15 years.... If JJ Redick doesnt get playing time and gets traded, I will begin rooting for that team. This is a slap in the **** face. Why in the blue hell are the starters in up 20.. Why the F is Carlos Arroyo in the NBA?

Does Stan look like he lost weight? He looks like the Eric Mangini of the NBA now

First you guys bitch that we can't blow out the Heat, now that we are you're bitching that we cant see JJ.

TooNice, there is no "arguably" about it. Dwight is NOT the best center in the league.

If so, please explain.

Considering we dont have a decent PG, do you think we'd have the same record without Hedo's great passing and clutch shooting? And considering he is our most prolific penetrator and really the only starter on our team that can drive and finish (or get fouled), how would Howard be even able to get the ball or for us to win?

And yes, Hedo (when playing at this high level) could be putting up numbers at quite a few places. If anything, I think Lewis has been impacted by Hedo more, and Howard was here last year, and the year before, and the year before. Hedo wasn't playing like this. Maybe he's just grown into this player.

Or it could be a flash in the pan. I'm not denying that.
