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.

Dwight with one point?! Thats just sorry. When the leader of the team gets shut down by scrubs, you know there is a SERIOUS problem. He better step it up, cuz when he sucks, we suck. Dwight is the captain of this ship so he better wise up and get better at steering it. |

Props to Darko (even though his shot struggled, he did well), PG, JJ, Diener, and Carlos (until the end). Starters sucked major cock in that 3rd quarter, but B-Hill needed to make the subs PRONTO. ![]() Dwight needs to get his head out of his a** because he deserves to be benched in Cleveland for that bullsh*t he came with. |

I apologize to Hedo for not giving him props. He carried us early in the game and was just solid tonight. 2nd game of the season with 20 points. ![]() Keith's win streak is over as we are now 6-1 when he starts, though had we made subs earlier in that 3rd period, it should've been a 'W'.

Well I guess we wont win a game until the Atlanta game, so welcome the 7 game losing streak. |

Some thoughts: -JJ looked great out there live. -Nelson looked awful. All he was doing was driving to the hoop and then desperately dishing it out. At the end of the game, when we needed leadership, he looked confused and lost. -Howard seemed to be very tentative and in addition to sucking tonight the whole team looked better with him off the floor. -Good game by Hedo. He is Mr. Streaky, so I expect him to be awful the next game. -Darko only seems to score on tip ins. He NEVER faces the basket when he shoots so all his shots are unconscious. He really needs tutoring. Overall, this game showed me we need some major help. |

Unless Darko improves, we should definitey not hesitate to lowball his contract demands this offseason. He needs a lot of improvement on the most basic of post fundamentals (this from a former college center, so not out of left field )Nelson also seemed to be nothing close to a leader or star. I actually think he looked much better last season as far as moves to the hoop. |

Good game from Darko, Carlos, and Turk. Nelson has been playing very well of late, in my opinion, and its about time he had an off night. Howard was pathetic - and he better have a good explanation for what happened out there. I'm not a fan of placing blame on a sole player, but this is a game you could easily make a case for it. JJ finally got some minutes and, my god, he was successful. It's about time. I guess we are finally realizing how much Ariza meant to this team. We have no stopper to help us at the end of games, and we have no consistent scorer. We are in need of something, but I'm not sure what it is yet. Maybe it's Chauncey Billups. |

During this losing streak, we have collapsed horrifically in the 2nd half and more specifically in the 4th quarter. To be blown out towards the end despite being up by 10 at the half is really scary. |
