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!

Why did we take so long to call a timeout? Poor coaching there.

We called a timeout when the lead was cut to 10. And then we called a timeout when it was cut to 2. How many timeouts do you expect him to call?

Apparently, Zuppa has coached at the NBA level.

Hey, Coach Zuppa, should Stan Van Gundy keep Hedo in there?

;-)

Craig, who thinks Zuppa should be a TNT analyst

erm, no... we called the timeout after the 14-2 run from Minny.
At least a 20 seconds to kill momentum when the lead dropped to 6 and we weren't making any moves on offense.

PAT SUBWAY SUB OF THE GAME WITH 9 POINTS AND 3 BOARDS IN 24 MINUTES WITH 4 ASSISTS AND 4 OF 6 SHOOTING. :D

When was the last time Dwight only had 2 fouls in a game? :)

It's a win, but I would have liked to not have blown that lead. But we still were able to hang on and get a win on the road. I'll take it.

Lewis came up big like he is supposed to. The defense has to clamp down at the end of the game. We have to be able to close better. I think We should have doubled on Jefferson. Dwight just couldn't guard him. I think SVG should have made that adjustment, but he didn't.

Hedo plays it safe and calls timeout with 50.5 seconds left. A lot of ballgame left as the good guys are only up by 6.

The fact of the matter is this. It's not going to happen every single time. We're going to have big leads and lose them. It happens to every team. The Magic kept the lead on the Bucks in the season opener and didn't let it slip. That's going to happen too. The Magic are far from perfect. I'm more impressed that at gut check time, they stepped up. That's what I'm taking out of this.

And Dwight did a good job on Jefferson. Jefferson had help and Dwight still dominated them.
