Otis talks about If you don't like the game tonight, you don't like Magic basketball. Great team game.

Is there a reason why Dwight is not sitting on the bench like Big Baby and Hedo? Would kinda suck if he is in Orlando...

Sorry if I'm out of the loop but is Ish Smith hurt or did Duhon become our back-up PG again?

Latter, because Stan is dumb.

I'd rather him stay at home laying in bed than sitting on a tiny chair for 2 hours... you know, because he has a bad back and all....

I will scrap the plan to invite Dwight to go fishing in my canoe this weekend. . .

Very proud of the team tonight. Now let's talk about playoff seeding!

If he wasn't there, then I'm going to try and justify this because I don't want to think anything negative....since the doctor said he had to rest for 10 days, "maybe" he's at home.

Had the pleasure of being in Amway Center tonight. That crowd was super loud for a change at the end.

Haven't been this happy about a Magic win since I was in Atlanta when we swept the Hawks in 2010.

Some phenomenal performances tonight. Outstanding defensive rotations, team rebounding, effort, heart, unselfishness. Pumped.

Best game of the season.

I didn't get to see the game because I'm at work, but I'll have to give it a look when I get home.

I'm very keen to see Anderson's work in the paint, since he didn't take many 3's and didn't have to share the post with anyone.

it might have been discussed but I didn't see any thread about it.
after this game, couldn't we talk about trying orton as our much wanted back up center? like 10 mpg?

because I kinda think he wouldn't be lost as much as before after developing a little bit of chemistry with the guys past two games.

This is the kind of game you look at and say to Howard, "You don't want Stan to coach this team? Seriously?"

I really wonder how SVG will use these players in play-offs.

You have to at least give some thought to using orton as the back up. I think he proved that he can handle 10 o 12 minutes and at least "hang". I think it would help the rotations while Dwight is off the floor. That way you can use Baby and Ryan as a one two punch at the 4. When Ryno is resting you make the defense have to change up quite a bit by putting baby there.

I say give the kid minutes and work on his conditioning and you have your back up.

question: how much do you think Orton gets on the open market? He's still a big project but he's at least worth working on.

didn't think about this until now....did Stan take a subtle shot at Dwight in his post game comments? Stan said something along the lines of....."We played a great game tonight, there was no agendas and no selfishness" now that might not be what i think it is but if it is i don't like my coach taking shots at my star player even if Dwight started it.....It just shows that they really do have a rocky relationship that might fester if we let it.....

I think you are reaching. Just about every coach says things like that. I think he said this about Jameer being Meer is finally distributing the ball instead of shooting the ball like a true point guard.

When a team plays true team ball, they have no agendas and no selfishness. I think that is what he meant.
