I doubt it, they have no one to move up besides Ewing? All of the other assistant coaches seem to have SVG's mentality.

I don't care what anyone says, I think Dwight throwing us under the bus Wednesday (and then again, yesterday) has had an effect on us.


Tend to agree. I think the team is down and playing like dogs that have been kicked too much, just heard enough from Dwight about how bad they all are and how he wants to play with winners. You can only take so much before you - consciously or subconsciously - give up.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid we are at the beginning of a long downward spiral until Dwight is moved.


Yeah, same here. I don't think this problem gets solved until Dwight is gone.

If Stan has to go (and the coach always goes first), I'm hoping they knock out Otis in a 1-2 punch after as well.


it seems he lost the team. Since last years playoffs. He is a damn good coach...

Brendan Malone is a player's coach, he'll sleep on the sidelines like he usually does in the 4th.

Firing SVG would be a huge mistake. We just need good players

Actually, to me, it all seemed to start when Dwight asked him to stop being so negative.

I think by "stop being so negative" he really meant "stop yelling at us". As a result, instead of seeing him scream and lose it when guys like Baby take a 20 ft shoot that he knows he won't hit, he just kind of looks at the ground and doesn't say what he wants to say, but the frustration on his face speaks louder than words.

That's why you have guys playing outside their role, Dwight.

It still boggles my mind how Otis wasn't fired in the off-season.

He made the organization pay 62 millions to a bum who he labeled as a savior.

I really like the Devos family but, they should surround the team with a better front office.

Maybe Brendan can be our new Richie Adubato :lol: I loved that year (although it may have been my hatred for BHill)

Everyone knows SVG is an elite coach. Also, who would you possibly replace him with? Sloan or Jackson would be the only ones out there who are better, and I doubt either of those two want to coach again.

Firing Stan is dumb...sure he has some problems I'm sure motivating...but I think this starts with Dwight cutting players down. There were some points before about this that were spot on.

I just have no idea what the hell Magic ownership is smoking. I mean how the hell can Otis Smith still have a job? Worst GM in history and he's still working.

If we fire Stan, he'll have a job the very next season with another team.

Sorry Dwight is the only one who came to play today and you feel the need to blame him instead of Hedo, Jrich, Nelson, and Big Bay who has chucked up stupid idiotic shots all game.

But apparently he is the problem, because some mopey piece of **** called Dwight cant handle being told when he is playing like a piece of ****. So yeah, good luck finding that celtic attitude dwight, especially when you cant take a weord of criticism. You are soft, a baby in the head, a MIDGET compared to people like KG. YOU are the reason this team is gutless. The fish rots from the head Dwight... YOU are meant to be the head of this team...

Looks like his good play earlier in the season was a mirage. Dude just looks like straight trash now especially in this game.
