hahaha I just rememberd what happened on Sunday...and in conjunction with this game, I dk what to say...I didn't think they could out do a performance like game 4 when they let them come back again...
Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Dwight is simply rushing on offense. I know he can make better moves and get better shots than that because I've seen him do it. He is rushing.

Dwight has offensive moves... just not against players with a strong lower base that can push him out. His multiple 30 point games aren't an accident, they just come against guys who can't consistently push him out.

David Robinson had the same problem, and it's why he never won anything as the man of a 60-win caliber team. He was weak down low and bigs could push him off his spot. The difference is, he had a handle and a jumper and could blow past his man.

Dwight really needs a mid range game for exactly these types of games.

There's a hint about what SVG had on his mind.. instead of coaching. Hve a night watching. Rated R, i believe.

Wow. So are there Magic fans that still believe SVG is the coach for us? The guy is garbage. I dont care what team you are, but you do not close out a game scoring 3 points in the final 5-6 minutes while the other team outscores you by 14. How many times have we done this? SVG has such garbage playcalling, especially late, and I'm tired of it. Get a new coach. I dont care who it is.

I can't believe we are down 3-2 to a completely inferior team. Thanks, Stan.

Lee... 11 minutes.
Alston: 5 more shot attempts than Howard.
Leads evaporating constantly.
Absolutely ridiculous inbound plays.
Absolute defensive panic in the 4th quarter, game after game.


And I was talking about giving a long term contract to Stan about two months ago... boy, was I wrong or what?

A few things.....

Why does SVG insist on playing Reddick much more than Lee? For goodness sakes, PLAY LEE MORE!

Secondly, the series isn't over YET. Honestly, I don't know how a team came come back from this kind of a collapse, but Orlando has shown resilliancy all season long. If we can hold serve at home and force a game 7.....heck.....anything can happen in a game 7.

And lastly, stop blaming SVG. Where were we the few seasons prior to him coming here. He's turned us in to a potential 60 win team for the next few years to come.

I'm not giving up yet on this team in this series.....and neither should any of y'all

I wish I could not blame the refs, but they screwed us too. But the worst of all was to blow a 14 point lead in the 4th, with the fans dead on their seats. It was all in our favor and what to they do? The same as always. Stop executing the plays, give the ball to Hedo go 1-on-1 and pray for him to do something. I mean, why not continue to move the ball? If that kind of play gave us the lead, why not continue?

I'm very, very pissed at this team, at the refs, at the NBA, but I won't fool myself. I'll be here suffering just as much as I did today in game 6. And if they somehow win that game, they showed today that it's not impossible to win in Boston, in fact, it was even an easy game today, under control, until they screwed it over.
Vamo, Magic!

Just once again disappointed. Because this stupid ass FAIL team does this to us over and over and over and over.

One of the dumbest 60-ish win teams I've ever had the displeasure of watching in the playoffs.

I hope to God we win this series. But right now I've got to vent, because if the Magic are going to do that to us we deserve the right to bitch about it for the next couple of days. Un-f-ing-believable.

Ok, so I AM pissed. More pissed than I've been with the Magic in a LONG time. Like, years. This is just rock bottom guys...only the Tragic would lose a game like this.


Pretty much my sentiment. They always blow leads. They just stop playing and act like the game is over. Then start doing stupid stuff when the pressure mounts. We are dumb. Im numb but not overly mad or shocked because we have seen this before, but this is by far the lowest low of that. We blew it, again.

I've gotta say as thrilled as I am the Celts pulled it out that one really hurts for you guys.. I can't help but think how I would feel if I was a Magic fan. Tough loss. Hoping for a good game six.

Yea, he can do it against Dalembert and Bargnani. He can't do **** against anybody who is can play a lick of defense.

Regular season wins. He's a fantastic regular season coach.

I've come to accept the fact that we just have a group of losers. We don't have winners. We fold when it counts. Every time.

Losers lose. Winners win. We're losers. So, tough luck for us.
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.

Actually it was a horrible game. You have one team with the ability to beat Cleveland, who hasn't a clue. Another team who is just receiving gift after gift whether it's from incompetence from the vastly more talented team, or despicable cheating by the refs. Only one game has gone how the whole series should and that was the hosing of the cheatics in game three. Everything was there on a platter for the Magic.
