Nobody was guarding Hughes for the most part. But Jameer was also taking it to the hoop on Hughes too. I don't get the hate for Jameer at all. He had a tough time with turnovers yesterday. I know one of them was a dropped pass from Mo Evans. But 21 pts 4 assist 4 rebs is solid in my book. I like Arroyo the good Arroyo that is..that's the arroyo we get once every 7 games. Jameer runs the offense fine. We could use an upgrade but it's not the weakest position right now. Right now we gotta get a PF.
Play Jase or Trade for Alvarado

I personally dislike nelson as our stater, and not because am an Arroyo fan. Personally if Arroyo is traded I could care less as long as it brings a better player in. But some of you guys bring the Arroyo hatred to a new level. I have always said I am first and foremost a MAGIC fan and then an Arroyo fan. so those of you that say that Puerto Ricans are trying to push Nelson out for Arroyo are out of your damn minds. Im trying to push Nelson out becuase he sucks as a starting PG.
i respect what your saying but i disagree with you. nelson is a better starter than arroyo

listen, im here to talk about the magic, not get into political debates. and if you are so concerned with this racial issue ripping "conservative republicans" isnt any better.
I agree with this statement. The country is divided, you have about the same amount of people on both sides. I think some democrats automatically assume there are more of them around than republicans. Even though I am a Libaterian.

Neither suck, don't know what people are watching.
Nelson is definitely better. He pushes the ball, he attacks the basket, he dishes to shooters, he rebounds and he doesn't do that meaningless flashy stuff.
Arroyo is okay he just has bad decision making, isn't very fast thus doesn't push the ball that often and he can't break his man down making it hard for him to attack and dish to shooters.
Both aren't starting quality yet, but Jameer is on his way. Some are naturally gifted right from the start but alot of point guards take many years to develop too.

Arroyo sucks.
It's annoying going to games and seeing Puerto Rican's cheer everytime Arroyo comes in and boo when he leaves.

It's annoying watching him move his feet like he's running through a tire obstacle course when defending someone.

There, I gave both cultural reasons to belittle him and reasons based on opinion.

I blame evil Dictator Van Gundy for not playing the best Shipbuilder on Trimmings (Arroyo). And something about a tapeworm.
