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 know everyone would love to see a Nelson + Arroyo combo during some stints, but my only concern would be their size 6'0" and 6'2".

McGrady and Howard... What could have been
Yeah, That would be a huge problem. Just like when that other guy was here. We wanted to start him and Jameer. Luckily the other guy left

Well, I hope and think the Darko PlayingTime controversy is behind us. I don't think there will be any more. We can cool it and let the Magic coalesce into a very good team in these next few games. Brian Hill's management of the team tonight was very good, in my opinion, having seen only a few Magic games.

I think the team is going to do very well the rest of the season, especially since a couple of the main players were missing tonight and another good defender is due to suit up probably the next game. Look out, things are getting exciting.

and hopefully, total chemistry will result from a JN + CA combo!

I think Nelson as our starter and Arroyo as our backup is a solid combo. Dooling can split time at SG to get his minutes if needed. Our biggest problem seems to be where to put all these good players, which isnt a bad thing at all :)

Don't get me wrong, it could work for short stints, but nothing consistant.

I was thinking about a combo guard thing for Arroyo too, but he's too much of a true point guard to get shifted over to the SG slot. The problem is neither one at the SG spot would be wise since niether one can be that dominant scorer.

Don't get me wrong, it could work for short stints, but nothing consistant.

I was thinking the same thing. What a GREAT problem to have!!!

I am leaning towards your thought B&B. Nelson as the starter and Arroyo to back him, but I think the minutes should be more even. Maybe Nelson gets 27-28 min per game while Arroyo gets 20 min per game.

Make no mistake, Arroyo off the bench is a deadly option with the amount of energy he brings. Especially in the House where he's going to have his own fan base cheering every time he walks on the court.

As a wise basketball expert said, "It does not matter who starts a game; that who plays during the last quarter is more important." Today, Arroyo was that man!

Sorry if do not answer as fast as others, but I need time to get to know this site, which I like a lot so far. It seems very well administrated! I have not seen offensive language or hate at all! Thanks, I know that a lot of new comers will follow this forum after the latest trades!
