At least Nelson attempts to stay in front of his man more consistently than Arroyo does....there's no reason in hell that Arroyo shouldn't be able to stop Damon Jones from getting all the way to the hoop.

bro weve settled this argument already, its been a good hour, but just as my last words for the day Larry had 40, Jameer was guarding him. Love them both but both suck in their own ways. Agreed.

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.

Both of them are dragging the team down and I certainly don't mind saying so

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

What Arroyo a good passer? This is the guy who wants to play one-on-one basketball whenever he has the ball in his hands. This guy absolutely kills the movement of the ball and I honestly can't understand why he has a job in this league.

These two point guards are about even in ability in my opinon. Arroyo has never bothered me because he was Peurto Rican, just because he used to hold the ball to long, but he is playing much better now. I still don't feel he is the answer as a starting point guard.

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.

Arroyo sucks.

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

Arroyo sucks.

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.

Silly translations.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
