Harkless Returns to Orlando Hoping for More: http://forwardcenter.net/harkless-returns-to-orlando-hoping-for-more/

“It feels good to be back here,” said Harkless after the Blazers held practice at the Amway Center Thursday afternoon. “This is where I spent the first few years of my career. The fans embraced me, the organization embraced me and I’m happy to be here.”


“Last season was last season,” said Harkless, reluctant to discuss his final season with the Magic. “Let’s leave that there.”


“It’s been pretty up and down, some bright spots and some low points,” said Harkless of his first season with the Trail Blazers. “Just got to keep grinding and eventually everything will come together.”


MAGIC KILLER ALERT!!!! Maurice about to erupt on his former team? 1-for-2 in 22 mins? :D

WIN!!!!!!

Haha, I completely forgot about the Harkless revenge game factor.

If we lose and Moe goes off for 20 points, I'm heading straight to my bunker. :lol:

Pure gold! :D

We'll win this one provided we don't underestimate our rivals. Harkless sucks, he won't do ****. But their backcourt is higly dangerous.

Elfrid was pretty good against Lillard if I recall correctly. I think he'll be on point.

They have a top 10 offense so it's more than just their guards. The way we lose is if we get into a shootout and our shots start clanking. Just need to play good team defense, which we need to do every game to win regardless of the opponent.

Much love. Also, against the team he was going to sign with, but he pulled out.

Expecting a win tonight. I'm starting to believe that this team is not a fluke. We will keep moving the ball and get great looks. Now watch us start clanking every open shot. Go Magic!!!

I didn't like Hedo's game toward the end of his stint with Orlando but there's no denying his MIP year and our Finals run he was great for us.

My favorite win I've ever watched was when we beat the Celtics game 7 in Boston. Hedo beat their asses for 25 & 12 I think, we killed them from start to finish thanks to him.

CJ is a beast, he could easily completely destroy us if he gets hot. Hopefully we're on top of our closeouts tonight. I'm already weeping for Hezonja if he has to guard him.

Vic would guard the PG, AG would guard CJ, and Mario would guard Moe, lol.

Harkless hasn't "burned" anyone in quite a long time.
