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!

I just can't agree with Lazy on this one. NBA is about making the playoffs. Orlando has no chance of making the playoffs this year unless they play Darko now and extensively. And Darko has to turn out to be that good. (Which I believe he is.) The only way you can find out what your team is really made of is to go for it all
Obviously, Hill has to stay healthy if you are going to shoot for no more than 4 losses the rest of this season. Advise, don't listen to Hill. A player who has been on such a long layoff will continue to get injured if his minutes are not kept to a minimum. Play Hill only just enough to win games, not one minute more. Use him like a treasure that you absolutely do not want to lose for another game.
And you are going to have to believe in Dooling. Plan on starting Arroyo, Dooling, Hill, Howard, and Darko the remainder of this year. Thats 3 decent ball handlers feeding two capable bigs.
You got Stevenson, Battie, and Ariza, three guys who can play D coming off the bench, so you should not lose leads while your bench is in.
Soon enough Turk and Nelson come back, and that will be the depth you need for your rotation in the playoffs.
Your 11th and 12th guys for the playoff roster. Kasun for one. The other lets see at playoff time.
Well, like I said, go for it. Worst can happen is that you drop out of the playoff picture despite your best shot. But do not just quietly fade away without a try.
Absolutely. Forget the record, try to be the best.
