Game #29: Orlando Magic(17-11) vs Minnesota T'wolves(13-15)

[The Real Dalic]

The only time you boo a Magic player is when they are not playing with effort consistently (and I'm talking long stretches of multiple games).

EXACTLY

LOL at people acting like he's just being booed for one game of bad play. He's been crappy all year long. With or without the personal issue's the guy just hasn't been good. Tonight was just a culmination of the fans frustrations with the guy. Just bad timing, and makes Magic fans seem cold even though they didn't know. I see nothing wrong with booing a player especially since you paid to see them play. We're not talking about a bunch of college players were talking about professionals even though BBD is mentally soft as hell. He's still a professional.

+1

Yep, I understand why he got booed. I would never do it though unless he wasn't trying and putting up numbers like that.

Had he put the time in when there wasn't any basketball being played he might not be getting booed now. So no he wasn't trying. He is a worse player now than he was last year so that tells me he didn't improve his game over the summer and actually regressed. I have no problem booing someone who isn't doing the work when there are no cameras in the room and bitching at the coach for not rewarding him. I'd never boo Ryan Anderson, because Ryan worked hard to improve as a player this offseason. Big Baby didn't. It's that simple.

I think he worried more about losing weight to be honest.

Edit: And, if that was true than I wouldn't have a problem with them booing him. the timing would be the only thing I would have a problem with.

I've never heard of players working there ass off in the offseason to improve their games and actually managing to get worse unless injury or age was involved.

Dwight Howard's free throw percentage.

Rubio will outplay Nelson

And he will have 4-6 TOs.

rubio does not play winning basketball, but i am sure adelman will influence him for better in time.

What an ignorant statement to make. The Wolves added two pieces to a 17 win team from last season, Rubio and Adelman. We've already surpassed our road win record from last year, with have a season of a shortened season at that. Fact is, Rubio and Adelman play and caoch winning ball. Ricky is a rookie, but he's already proven he plays clutch defense, can make big shots when they count, and of course, find the right man at the right time. He's had a couple of down games which still net him a near double double, and that makes him not play winning basketball? You can say he still makes a lot of mistakes, and that's true, because he's still a rook, but if our record and the things he's done in those games to win doesn't give you any indication of him playing winning basketball...then I say you simply don't watch him/Wolves enough. That's understandable, because you're a Magic fan, but it's an ignorant and flat out round statement to make.

Rubio 11 points and 5 TOs: Nelson 14 points and 0 TOs.

Wow I love being right !


GO MAGIC!!!

So Jameer Nelson plays winning basketball because he was blessed with a superior team yet his team has had it's best season in this decade without him?



Nelson plays like an idiot. At least Rubio's mistakes are rookie mistakes where Nelson is a 9 year vet still making dumb mistakes game in and game out. He outplayed Rubio, but lets not act like "Nelson plays winning basketball". That kinda stuff is just laughable, and shows the kind of insane (Please Use More Appropriate Word) loyal fan bias our fanbase has to that subpar point guard midget. With that said he played well tonight.
