I miss RevTy as well. I still see him on twitter and got him to stop in a couple months ago and post.

By the way RevTy was never the "insider", he got his info from Magical (yes, the magical guy on twitter, who used to work for the magic and still knows people "allegedly") and passed it onto us. He knew him personally I believe.

Funny thing is the whole thing that seems tomhave driven rev away from posting due to the ridiculous amount of bs he was given (even though EVERYONE on the board was begging him to post what he heard), the strap in comment that the cp3 deal was thought to be done and which was a direct quote from a text from magical, ended up being corroborated by others. They agreed to a deal and NO backed out.

Sucks because he was a good poster.

guess who was top 5 last year in clutch stats? and hes top 8 this year? but we cant trade the untouchable for him because the untouchable is more efficient as a #2 option and better overall

We went away from what worked last night. Jameer/Dwight pick and roll and Dwight in the post. Dwight didn't carry on his smart decision making in the post in relying on go to moves that he can get off against anyone.

hornets are dumping salary and rebuilding, not taking on the 3 year terrible contracts for bad players.

8-) I agree, It's good for us but I still think GSW does not get rape on that trade!!!
Otherwise it is good to dream abit, After all we should be named "The Orlando Dreamer" instead of Magic. XD

lol I can't speak on behalf of everyone... but for me, I'm being honest and truthful with my criticism... I'm not hating... his on-ball defense and team rotation defense are both horrendous. I'm sorry. I want him to get BETTER at DEFENSE. That's not hating, that's called not "blowing smoke up his ***" Truth.

Throw some 1st round picks to GS and Suns and or add Anderson/Harper to help in a deal. Who doesn't do this?

:roll: J-Rich gets annoying sometimes.... we criticize you not because we think we're better than you, or because we can even come close to you in terms of talent and athleticism but, because, it's so freaking simple to see that you should drive more, you should post up more, and play hard every night. including on the defensive end... that's all... just play hard!
