Everyone...i went with the real dunce cap winner Ryan. He's no better than his dad Troy Murphy. Easy choice and it's not even close.

What worries me is this is kind of what happened to us against the Hawks in the playoffs. The entire team (outside of Dwight) sucked.

In a sense, yes. However Dwight was not good in this game either, not even close. He just sucked less than the other guys on the roster...

Sorry but I think Dwight also sucked. The thing is because of his physics he is not that suckable, or there is a limit he can suck, unless another team tries Hack-A-Dwight again. Then we can see how suckable he actually is.

When you are embarassed numerous times by Avery freakin' Bradley, you know you deserved the Dunce Cap.

I dont know where I read it but it was a quote from Larry Brown or Popovich, if I'm not mistaken. He said something along the lines of "There will be 4 games every season where everything goes perfect for your team and 4 games where everything goes horribly wrong no matter what you try." I guess this was one of those games in this season for Orlando.

Yeah, guess we can chalk it up as just "one of those days".
56 points? No defense in the world is that good.

This was embarrassing from top to bottom, the entire team played bad, but I would vote for ratatouille and Ryan korver

You know what's funny? Or at least ironic?
You are to Ryan Anderson what you accuse everyone else of being to Jameer. If someone says something that isn't 100% positive about him you attack them, yet I can probably count on one hand how many times I've heard you say something positive about Ryan.

Dirk, disappeared once again when we played against a tough team. It helps his case everyone else sucked also.
Fire Otis!

Geez Rynowitzki did not contribute offensively at all? I'm still picking Jameel for contributing in the negative direction.

0-8 isn't taking the team in a negative direction?

well at least someone else said it. christ.
but nearly all of us have our unique nuances and biases with the Magic FO and players ... so whatever... i can't hate... but i was irritated, like last night i was being critical of everyone's terrible play (not just jameer's), but i got singled out for my one post out of anger about how jameer was being outplayed and out-hustled by bradley... i said "jameer is making bradley look like an all-star" to exaggerate the point of my frustration with nelson and how terribly he played (i mean seriously, jameer should have smoked that clown! i know it, and you know it). no one in their right mind would think bradley is an all-star (gtfo). and i didn't vote for any of the players (so i default voted otis), because it's not all jameer's fault, IT WAS EVERYBODY'S FAULT that we lost the game badly... but whatever... everyone gets nippy on here during a loss, so F it. live and let live.
cat's out of the bag at least. *cheers*
