thankfully we have von "proflic scorer" wafer on the team :roll:

The Dutch Cookie averaged 20 pts through 9 games in Italy and Otis is impressed....

If he's basing it off of that, then Otis is truly blind... he failed to realize Wafer volume shot (mediocre fg %) and turned the ball over a lot in achieving those numbers... sigh.

If Ellis and Nelson are duplicate talent in his mind we don't need to fire him we need to baker act him.

Here's Stan Van Gundy, this was the live UStream when he asked, "Does anybody have a question that's not about Dwight?" http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19094244


I love SVG.

That man is ready to coach his *ss off this season.

Otis needs to go. He left us without any trade assets to go after a fringe all star, let alone a second superstar for Dwight to play with.

So Episode VI, has to have the happy ending right?

Darth Vader (Dwight Howard) saves his son, Luke Skywalker (The Orlando Magic fan base), by throwing the Evil Emperor (Otis Smith) down one of starwar's many seemingly endless metal cylinders of death (a bus), after seeing that the Evil Emperor (Otis Smith) was trying to turn his own son against him. But sadly the damage was already done, Luke Skywalker (the Orlando Magic Fanbase) had beaten Darth Vader(Dwight Howard) so badly he could not survive. As he lie dying, Darth Vader (Dwight Howard) asked Luke (the Orlando Magic Fanbase) to take his Helmet (Agent Dan Fegan) off, so he could see him with his own true eyes, and what Luke (the Orlando Magic fanbase) saw was not like anything they had imagined. He dead shortly afterwards...

oh wait, thats not a happy ending is it?

I've been I'm a fan an Otis fan because I'm a friend of one of his close family members, and I understood what he's been trying to do. They been telling me since last year about the Otis/Dwight feud that started since Courtney Lee/his "big brother" Tony Battie was traded. Dwight feels like that was his small window, and nothing the Magic can do to re-open it. I'm not claiming to be an insider , as all of this is common sense, I'm just accepting the reality...
