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.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

I really think J.J. has the offensive set of all-star calliber. I am glad we kept him.


Is that Sarcasam haha? I think the guy is terrible and unathletic as hell. Drafting him at tenth was terrible we could find a more athletic 3 pt shooter anywhere in the NBA.

:r Actually I mean it. His ability to score is tremendous. Couple that with the threats we already have and it would be instant offense. He just needs to defend. Did you not see how many open shots he created for Garrity and Gortat and Evans and Arroyo? You get my point.

GREAT game! Our team is really, really clicking now.

Very happy with how our squad is doing. Shoving this win down the gullet of those analysts who think the CAVS are the true #3 seed.

All I'm saying is hopefully he will be gone soon I'm sick of hearing our fanbase whine about him. Even when we win it's like but JJ doesn't play. Who gives a crap if he doesnt play he's not good enough. Not one but two coaches refuse to play the guy thats all i need to know. I don't care what he's done in college there have been too many Duke busts for me to belive the hype around this guy. I've seen him play and haven't been impressed at all. He's not good enough to warrant playing time cause any athletic guard he has to face he basically screwed. Think Jameer Nelson's defense except aganist someone who's job is to score all the time. The faster he's gone the better cause I promise you this is one player who will not come back to haunt the magic he doesn't have the NBA athleticism.

Since you have your crystal ball handy can you tell me who wins it all this year? In all seriousness, I am not one to cry about JJ getting playing time or what not, I just think he is a unique talent. He can shoot, he can score, and at the worst he could be our Steve Kurr, at best our Miller lite. Why not keep him around and find out?

Because he costs 2 million to sit on the bench and do nothing. We can use that one someone else. Why would you put him in the same catagory as Kerr or Miller even if u said miller light. Sure you can shoot in college but the problem is they back that line up in the NBA. I haven't seen anything that has shown me as automatic in the league as he was in college. I wouldn't have a problem with him if the fans didn't whine and there weren't a bunch of other white guys in the league who are more athletic play better defense and can actually are that atuomatic when open. Matt Carrol is a good example.

Wow we took a huge step in the right direction today. Dwight is really coming into his own after last night. He started slow but came back with a vengence. Same goes for tonight in this possible playoff preview. Wonderful game. I was smiling the whole time. Just what we needed.

Whew. I hate I missed most of the 4th, but at least we ripped Billy D's heart out. Karma sucks.

Great win for our team and I think we're going to keep it rolling. We're finally beating teams we should beat.

u missed gortat, he is awesome, pretty athletic 7 footer and was active on the boards, really fought hard for them, and then the alley oop was hilarious like you could see it coming 10 seconds before it actually happened

Crap I hate I missed it. Gortat has a chance to overtake Foyle if he keeps it up.

If we play .500 ball the rest of the way, this team will have 50 wins. Does anyone else remember the all-knowing Brutalfacts who said this team has no chance of being a 50-win team unless they get new PGs? He said as long as Jameer is the starter, we will never be a 50-win team. I agree that Jameer is probably not the long-term answer, but I'm sure Brutal's starting to get the crow out on the dinner table.

We still have 19 games left. So nothing's certain just yet. But this team is capable of winning 50 games and that alone proves the "really smart guy" on this board wrong. There's no reason why we can't win 10 games out of our last 19. Especially since most of them are at home.

Errrmmm.....

Please remeber that 12 of those wins have come with "Mr. Coincidence" as the starting PG not Nelson.

Thank You.

Missed the 4th quarter, just got to check out the final stats. Wow @ Nelson finishing with 10ast/1to, and nice to see Redick and Gortat once again get some playing time. Arroyo had 6ast/1to as well, 8.0ast/to ratio from our two PGs!
