In Stans defense, look at the short slow unathletic pathetic team that Otis has assembled. You cant make lemonade with poop.

The problem is that he doesnt even try something and keeps playing Duhon, Ryan, Jrich and Hedo...

Whatever, we played harder than most people thought we would, we didn't get swept. . .Hope Pacers beat the heat (Knicks *crosses fingers)

Please, someone find a heart to Hedo...

Hedo, if you love Magic, resign your contract and go to play in turkey.

Maybe if the Magic skipped the whole playoff themes like not shaving and the We All We Got and just played ball they could accomplish something!!

Anyway, this may have been the last time we saw Stan, Jameer and Ryno on this team. We need wholesale changes. I wouldn't even mind rebuilding from scratch starting with some decent draft picks. Maybe we convince Jameer to opt in and trade him and Dwight to Charlotte for the #1 pick and something else...lol.

Can we just buyout Duhon and tell him to stay at him or make up the rest of his money romancin the ladies.

But he did have tall, fast, and young athletic players on the bench, but seeing as they stayed on the bench all season long, it's no surprise that he didn't trust them in this series.

Well ... they are 3rd string players for a reason. Giving them time wouldn't make them into decent players.

Pretty much every other coach in recent history shortens up his rotation in the postseason. Nothing new or revolutionary.

Thank you players for all your hard work this season and with that for some of the players, I wish you great luck in your careers on other teams.

I actually thought we'd play a little bit harder. I thought we had a good chance to win this series without Dwight. I guess that's why I'm a little more disappointed than some of you.

Thanks to the guys and the coaching staff for battling...fighting their asses off for 5 games. Not folding at the end of game 4 when it would have been easy to just throw their hands up...and working as hard as they could in game 5 until the fatigue truly set in.

You can be a fan of the team and still be a realist--the effort was there, the execution was there (as much as it could have been), the gameplan was there...but the talent was not.

You can't win a playoff series when you only have (arguably) 7 NBA caliber players on your roster.

Appreciate what you saw because a lot of other groups and coaching staffs would have been happy to have been swept out and off to their summer vacation and at least we got to feel that high for game 1.

There are inevitable changes coming...and some of you will feel vindicated when they do but just remember what this core and the guys in suits have given to you for the past season and the last 4-5 years.

Idk, most of the teams play in the playoffs with a 8 players rotation.

I know we need changes. We say this every year. But nothing happens. I'll believe it when I see it.

Duhon is anti-talent. We didn't have to jack up threes. Otis didn't have to sign and trade for one dimensional players. I've been saying it for years and nothing has changed. A lot of us are more vocal because we've seen the problems for years now and instead of tweaking the system, Stan and Otis go all in with the same system. It is frustrating watching the same thing over and over.

Yeah, but J-Rich, Hedo, and Duhon are better than Ish, Wafer, and Liggins. . . Also, coaches shorten their rotations but they take the bad players out. . . We give ours more minutes. . .
