Another contract player.

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555
#Magic F Al Harrington gave some insight into new offense, saying team will run plays through elbow of lane with 3 on one side, 2 on other.

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555
Harrington compares freedom of #Magic off. to ones run by Den, Golden St and NY. Rather than calling all plays Vaughn wants players reacting

The game is on NBA TV bro. And yeah you may love the game too much there, but as long as you are showing that equal love to her, then you should be straight... 8-)

I don't get it. If my career was in the NBA I would be busting my ass....... I mean **** I still do and it doesn't help getting the bills paid.

Fat athletes ftl...except BBD. He is just curvy

Good BBD interview from after the first practice today.

Really like hearing him teaching Drew about defense and how important it is for everyone to TRUST each other on the floor.

Damn, giving players freedom to create on their own means many players out of position and exposing weaknesses. But, should be much fun to watch anyways than typically boring half court SVG. At least if you are going to lose games, might as well be entertaining.

I've been waiting to see our players get more freedom and given more opportunities to get creative and just play ball.

SVG's stubborn coaching style of calling every play and not giving our players a ton of freedom was frustrating at times.

It's going to be refreshing to see our players finally have some freedom on the court.

Still no game thread. Other teams had their game threads up for almost a week now. Magic used to be the tops for game threads.

But, ever since the transition from winning organization to eternal bottom feeders, the diehard fan base is dwindling down here. . . it is kinda sad. We used to have such nice threads up with multiple pages up already talking game smack.

Then why don't you lead the way and create one?

It happens to every franchise who loses its superstar. We ain't the first and certainly not the last. Besides, its one thing to have to endure another (although possibly fun) rebuilding process, but reading whiny, negative posts by the same whiny and negative people, page after page tends to make people just.. stay away.

Edit: oh and why not make one yourself instead of complaining about noone making it?

someone is asking for a mass foe's list lol

BadMofoPimp · Post #758 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Wed Oct 3, 2012 9:40 pm

I thought about it, but I like to put a whole bunch of pics up there and have been working too much to spend time on one. But, I may have to if we don't see one up soon enough. But, then again, I am on soo many foe lists that nobody would see it or post on the game log. It would be a ghost thread . . . lol

Don't we need a signup thread for the GTs before any of this gets started?

RookieStar · Post #760 » by **RookieStar** » Wed Oct 3, 2012 10:57 pm

Meh... GT will pick up after we get some scrub doing a highlight play ( ala Britton on LBJ ) Just you wait gaaaizzz!!!
