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!

Apparently, Zuppa has coached at the NBA level.

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

;-)

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.

We called a timeout when the lead was 92-82. Look at the play-by-play. Don't know what game you were watchng.

How about we let SVG do his job that he gets paid for and has tremendous respect for? It's easy for us to sit here at home and see how things have unfolded and then criticize him. He's gotta make decisions on the fly based off his players, the atmosphere, and what's going on on the court while trying to preserve his timeouts in case he needs them at the end.

Remember when Bianchi said "Doesn't accelerating your pace also mean accelerating your turnovers?" :rolleyes:

Fatoine and Jaric have ball handling issues. Magic ball with 23.4 seconds left. We should be ok now.

Brewer comes in for 2 seconds, fouls out by fouling Chuck. 17.1 seconds left Arroyo goes to the line up 7.

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.

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.

Craig

I agree that it's good that we were able to hang on. I know that we didn't let the Bucks come back in and that was good, but I just hate it when we lose leads.

I don't think Dwight did a good job on Jefferson. He was getting killed during the run that Minny made. I'm glad that Jefferson is out of the East. He is going to be a very good player.

Jesus Christ, I was one of the happiest guys on earth the day we signed him. I can't give an opinion about the 14-2 run we let Minny do without calling a timeout without getting bashed?
I suppose that by your posts nobody can say anything about the coaching, even if it was pretty obvious because we have no knowledge to do so. Ok then. Stan will never make mistakes.
