Doesn't matter if they get the Pacers, as long as Duhon is playing the Magic are gone in the 1st round.

People need to understand this.

We have a winner.

With Doo-hon on the floor for even 10 minutes a game (that means Nelson would have to average 38 MPG -- a career high, IIRC), we are guaranteed to be outscored by a decent margin. And our team is not good enough as it is to withstand ten point deficits from the bench.

I wouldn't be too upset either, but the fact that I know Duhon is our backup going into the playoffs makes me pissed off. Because we WILL NOT go anywhere with him getting important minutes.

ya.. praying for a miracle injury at this point.

Bright side: We played with great heart, never gave up, but still keep our 6 spot safe :wink:

I still think JRich is tradeable. Hedo will require a 1st rounder to get rid of that contract. Duhon can be cut after next year. Those moves have to be made though.

Nelson has and will average 36-38 MPG in the playoffs, it's some hope, not much, but some.

Losing to the Celtics always pisses me off.

I'm happy with the way we played. It just blows that we lose to the Celtics again, when I feel like we outplayed them. i mean, Duhon...I don't understand. Why, Stan, why?

Magic Fans might need to start a petition for Stan Van Gundy to give Ish Smith the backup point guard minutes instead of Chris Duhon.

Its time to fire the coach when fans see something that the coach cannot.

Chris Duhon had a +/- of -19 wow.

Exactly what I was hoping for, were better off getting the 6th seed rather than facing the celtics, even with home court advantage.

I'll be back, gotta go to the restroom and go take a "Duhon" really quick.

Anderson is right, we should have trapped PP on that lost shot. OH well cant wait until that prick retires.

Stan and duhon for co-dunce cap. I just feel like I need to see duhons name on there to be honest one wouldn't have been as much of a problem had the other not existed, any other coach wouldn't play duhon and without duhon we would have to play ish. God im ripping my hair out if we lose playoff games because of svg/duhon
