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!

Good game, good win. Great game defensively from Jameer. The guys on 580 were gushing. Howard with a monster fourth quarter, good games from Turk and Lewis. Arroyo got eaten alive by TJ Ford, but played pretty good offensively. Can't wait till Dooling gets back. |

At least he is only signed for the vets min. It's not like he's expected to do much besides come in for Dwight now and then. |

SVG admired the way Dwight stayed focused throughout the game
Patrick Ewing may have something to do with that:

he was a damn good garbage man in the beginning of the season, now he cant even grab boards w/out fumbling them away |

I really think Gortat should be given the chance to contribute. I think he has more use than Garrity right now. Since Otis has not added anyone that can grab a rebound and play defense on spot duty, maybe they should take a look at Marcin. |

I agree. He needs to be given a chance. Forget Auggie, Garrity, and even JJ. Id rather see Marcin. He is the most unproven player, and we don't want another one of those slipping away. |

An exciting game! I thought the defense was good, especially from guys I didn't expect it from, like Cook and Nelson. I love the hustle from Foyle, though he does leave room for improvement.... |

I don't want Marcin to leave and end up doing somewhat decent on another team if they sign him. We must give him a chance. He's a 7 footer who can come in and get some rebounds for us and possibly help out on our post defense. |

Marcin actually looks better than Foyle in there. Of course his a rook and will make mistakes but hey he has to learn it sooner or later - I really think we can use him. And I believe SVG does too - that's why he has been activated and getting some PT albeit small. |

He's only played 3 minutes of complete garbage time. Who knows how well he would perform during a real game scenario? (my guess is worse than Foyle) When Dooling comes back, I expect Gortat to slip back into his XXL suit and hit the bench. |

We won't know until he actually gets meaningful playing time. My guess is the Magic will take a look at that possibility once we secure our playoff seeding. I am not suggesting that we play him instead of Foyle. What I mean is that we have been looking for a some additional body to bang and get rebounds and he may already be on our bench. If we are able to suit up Garrity despite the fact we already have lots of shooters why not Marcin. |

We need to get Gortat in the game in like the 2nd quarter instead of playing the last 3 minutes of the 4th when we are already winning by 20+ points. |
