Game Th Indiana Grangers @ Orlando Magic 7.3 p.m. 5.2.12.Wed

[arsenal6106]

Noooo, it's based on the poll you linked to(viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1165464)

The question was.. Is Ryan Anderson Untouchable?

71% of the people voted- No, Get Dwight Help: Nash would make this team a true contender, or Ellis could be the most talented team mate D12 has ever had.

I would say that this is a majority.

I didn't link anything. . .

Ooops, that was Orlando that posted a link. My fault.

One of the most painful games I've had to see in person. I was one of the last people in the upper bowl to leave. Just stunned.

That sucks man to see that live. We are hurting and some of us (including me) didn't even get to watch the game.

I know it would have been nice to see a win or at least a more competitive game, but we just don't have the talent.

The Bobcats could've made it closer than it actually was. I think it was more than just talent that lost us this game.

That's not the point, it's the fact that this team is getting blown out. That's the frustration. I don't have an expectation one way or another for this team to win or lose the series, but I expect our team to play as hard as they can for 48 minutes. I'm tired of this team laying down when it gets hard. I can cheer for a team that tries but I can't cheer for a team that quits.

I totally agree that it's about watching them play with heart, but that's exactly why we hang in there until the 3rd and then everyone runs out of gas. I can train with as much heart and hustle my tail off all I want and I will never be an NBA center standing at 5'10" no matter how badly I want it.

Our guys ARE trying I believe. Trying just doesn't put points on the board unfortunately. I'm not worried though. Our time will come. I really hope Otis is gone by next year though. We will be alright, but i suggest to all of you guys to pick a team to root for this year as a secondary because no matter how hard we try, we just aren't built to win games.

No! The Bobcats this year weren't built to win games, the players we have on our team are more than capable of winning a game. We have players that have been in huge games before and they know what it takes, no, this team folded today. And what's worse is that they did it in front of their own fans.

It's all good.

Stan should just say phuck it and play this lineup......
Nelson
JJ
J-Rich
Hedo
Baby

Bring Ryan in with that second unit.....Hedo can't be any worse defending West than ryan could he? plus Hedo is about as tall if not taller than West.......i'm half-kidding but stan has to do something different.....his job could be on the line if it isn't already a forgone conclusion.....

i could've sworn i seen ryan anderson sitting next to you all game, was that him?

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Orlando can trade Dwight in the summer if they want too. It's up to Orlando.

Again, for the millionth time, NO ONE will give us good value for Dwight as a rental. So Dwight will determine where he's going.

No one gave us good value for Dwight this past season. And I promise you that Bynum trade would not have gone down because Dwight did not agree to an extension with the Lakers.

Again, I'll say it again, Orlando CAN trade him, even in the Summer if they wanted to. And that team would have Dwight for the entire season NOT just a 2 month rental.

That lineup is more athletic, energetic, hustles more, moves the ball around better, and plays way better defensively.

[thelead]

They can trade him but why trade him for trash? I'd rather let him walk and preserve cap space. You say that a team will have him for one year, but what would they give up while still being able to do something in the playoffs that year? I just don't see a team giving up their future for a disgruntled Dwight.

First off

Thelead: don't put that stupid quote by orlmagicgirl under my name

Yeah orlando CAN trade him..obviously..but it's not just black and white...they definitely do not have the leverage

Orlando isn't going to trad him unless they know negotiations are done with Dwight, or Dwight demands out

I understand, but remember we had Dwight covering up a massive void for most of the season. what we saw without him is what this team is capable of... completely inconsistent and the only way we win is by shooting a crazy %

i can see what magicman was going for but imo with us struggling to break 75 in each of these games i rather have the most offense i can out there.....

I would have no problem whatsoever with that lineup change. Hell you can start out with the same 5, but just shorten the leash on certain players. JJ absolutely needs to be a mainstay in this series along with Earl Clark. I really like what Earl is bringing in this series and he actually has outplayed Ryan in stretches with less minutes. Stan complains about bringing energy and yet he won't increase the minutes on the two guys I mentioned who is doing just that.

#Pacers C Roy Hibbert wandered over to press row during a TO and mockingly made a reference to the #Magic dancing and celebrating in Game 1.

I flippin knew it... I knew it!

I said it a few days ago... Duhon's stupid travel dance (as "humorous" as it was) was going to come back and bite us in the butt... Indiana was going to use that as motivation to play harder... just like last year when Nelson said to D-Rose, "See you guys in the 2nd round" and Atlanta used that as motivation to smash us.

Our players don't use their brains much do they?

Obviously there are more prominent reasons why we are losing this series... but seriously, Duhon, you're not helping... on the court or off the court... please GTFO our team.

Freakin hate Du-Du... clown.

The Pacers were jumping up and down since pre-game of game 1. . . They're not ones to talk, or mock in this case.

Where is the dunce thread?

I don't think it is a big deal. I probably hate Duhon just as much as you do, but I don't mind Duhon doing what he did.
