Hawks sweeping the Magic.

Travis Outlaw will score 30 pts in 1 game before that happens.

Celtics are champs.. can't believe I'm the only one that thinks so.

These playoffs are more important than any I can remember. A superstar could be moving, a constant playoff team could be rebuilding, and it could be the end of an era for what would have been a dynasty. A lot happening.

If the Hawks sweep the Magic, 1) Dwight is leaving during this offseason 2) The Hawks have a reason to stay together.

With every Bynum injury, the chances of Orlando trading him for Dwight grow slimmer. Lopez has played every game of his career, while Bynum can barely make it 2 months without another knee injury.

Danny Granger is killing it right now, probably becoming more and more untouchable with ever sunk 3.

Rose getting killed on defense... And I'm loving every minute of it. My ass that Rose is a better defender than Williams Bulls fans.

Any chance we can get him and Howard for Brooklyn?

Collison having a good game today as well.

Darren Collison choking late, some things don't change...

Wow, Psycho T, unreal...

Rose got the full-Wade treatment from the line... Talk about disgusting.

I tell you what...if Orlando keeps playing the way that they're playing right now, I'll jump on the bandwagon of saying Dwight is gone this offseason. How does he score 31pts and 8reb in the 1st half and yet his team is still almost down double digits? Talk about playing by yourself...

The Magic have some of the most obnoxious fans on this site, I'm glad their losing but I bet they'll blame refs like they always do.

You know I honestly don't have a problem with Magic fans but... If this keeps up Dwight is a goner

! He might not necessarily be Brooklyn bound but looking at that roster there really is no reason for him to stay if his goal is to win a championship.

I find myself rooting for every ex-net currently in the playoffs.

Jason kidd - Dallas
Richard Jefferson - Spurs
Nenad Krstic - Celtics

Even Jason Collins :lol:

..He's done a marvelous job on Dwight tonight.

8 Mile Ilic · Post #18 » by **8 Mile Ilic** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:32 am

He fouled out though =(

jeff1624 · Post #19 » by **jeff1624** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:34 am

^^He did his job though..

Man, I wish this team had Horford, Not just because he's Dominican.. but because the guy can ball. Too bad we're stuck with the Humphries and Yi's of the world.

Exactly what I wanted. Dwight to beast yet the Magic still lose.

Let the frustration build...
