NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Ok guys, lets all calm down a bit :D
This is being a great night. We all know that we will have a lot of bad nights untill the end of the season. Arroyo will have bad nights for sure, damn, even Dwight will have them.... ok, maybe not Dwight..lol.. so, my point is:
The gm's actually made us trail into the right track. Do we all agree on this?
Great.
So, lets not ask too much from this current roster.
One thing I don't like in fans (myself included) is that we always see things with a "short vision" and I would like to see us all having a diferent mentality.
Let us be happy for the trades, let us have hope for the future of the team, and let us jump on the Arroyo/Milicic bandwagon, but lets remember that when things go wrong some night that it's due to "growth pain". ;)
Agreed?

I'd like to see the guys around here supporting the team in future disapointing losses. :)

There will be a ton of growth pains. That's just natural. But, normally you see them early on. The fact that they're playing this well is a good sign. It shows the team has good natural chemistry. They're playing well together, and they haven't stuttered yet. This is a team that looks like they've been playing an entire season together, and they haven't. They're looking a lot cleaner and crisper then the Nets, who is a team who's core has been together for more than a season now.

This is a good sign for the Magic for the rest of this season and the future.

If Magic keep playing like this, they'll win. If they keep playing like this the reason of the season, they'll make it to the playoffs as the hottest team in the NBA.


Playoffs?!?! :wow:

Now that is taking it abit too far. :lol:

If the Magic only lose 9 more games, then they have a chance.

I know, a bit of a stretch, and I stated so in my message. I don't think they will, but if they keep playing good, they will.

Craig

Our upcoming games are kinda tough so I dont think we will make the playoffs this year but next year is another story. But it should be fun to watch how our guys play for the rest of the year and specially our new adquisitions.

man milicic didnt even play in the first half...

That's about the only thing I don't like about this game.

But Kasun played out of his mind. So I guess he took some of Milicic's PT.

He'll get some playing time in the second half. I think the Magic were just so in a groove that first half, that they wanted to continue to ride with that. The Magic are still capable of making it to the Playoffs, and I think they want to take that chance instead of giving it up. I see Darko getting some quality time in the second half though.

Oh, and lets not blame poor stevie for everything bad this team did so far... lol

Well I blame him because he was not very professional when he was here, but I agree he should not be blame for everything.

Yeah, I suppose you're right!
It's indeed a good sign and that's another thing that make us be all pumped up.
I'm honest with you: I haven't been so excited about the Magic in a very long time.
And I was already excited after the first trade... :)

They've got quite a few easy games as well. It'll be interesting to see how they play the rest of the season though. Facing a team like the Nets, and playing well bodes well. Not off to a good start in the second half though. Kind of losing that fluid play they had earlier, and that's because they're settling for shots instead of attacking the basket.

Someone needs to grab Hill by the throat and tell him TO PUT DARKO IN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

(Unless there is something that happened that I don't know about. I've been watching the Tennessee-Florida game and haven't been able to give this game full attention)

Kasun is playing very well. He stole Darko's PT. :lol:
