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.

I'm certainly not a fan of Jameer. If anything, I'm a fan of Dooling. I point out when Jameer has good games (see this thread), and I point out when Arroyo has good games (see the Knicks thread). I believe completely that Arroyo contributes to this team, and I have said numerous times over the last few weeks that I miss the days when all the point guards played. I still feel that Jameer is our best option for the starting point guard position - but it doesn't mean that I defend him no matter how he plays. |

Arroyo definitely contributes. I consider him an above average back-up PG. Honestly, I think him and Nelson get too much crap sometimes. No, they aren't great, but at worst, they're decent. |

Must not have read the first couple words of my post. I was in no way trying to make Arroyo look bad, nor was I even talking about him. YOU came into the thread and criticized magiclive for claiming Nelson to be the starting PG on a possible 50-win ball club. Well, technically his 28-18 record this season would be 50 wins if projected over an 82-game season. My post had absolutely nothing to do with Arroyo whatsoever - just me pointing something out to a fellow poster. I even mentioned at the end of my post the same thing you just mentioned in yours... |

I personally don't have a favorite player on this team. And I don't have a player that I defend no matter what. I thought Jameer was capable of being the PG for this team for a long time. I believe that I was mistaken. I'm not going to lie to myself, just so I feel better. The only times I had a favorite player on this team were when Penny and McGrady played for us. That was it. And when McGrady started to demand a trade, I was not happy with him and I didn't support that. When I called you an Arroyo fan, I meant that you care more about him than the team. That may not be true, but you really come off as someone that just cares about Arroyo's stats, than the team actually winning. So I'm not a hypocrite for saying that I don't have a favorite player. I really don't. Dwight is obviously the most important player to this franchise, but I was never a big fan of centers and power forwards. Maybe that will change with Dwight. I don't know. |

Is it impossible? No. But I would be very very surprised. |

Yeah sure Adamos LIKES Gortat, so do I. But I'm not constantly talking about him and only seem to post just about him. When Arroyo doesn't play, we dont really see you around here. And every one of your posts has Arroyo's name in it. Not that its illegal, but it just gives us all the impression that your just here because of him. But how can you blame us, its the truth. Sure Arroyo is not a terrible player, and we have a good record with him starting, but the same is said about Jameer. Its just coincidence that we have a good record with either starting right? No. Its because of the big three like you said. Anyways, dispite all this, I don't care who starts as long as we win. We have 40 wins and thats what counts most. |

Great win from our boys! Everyone played which is exceptional and everyone stepped up. I really want to see Gortat play in the playoffs. He's proven that he could play even though he gets garbage minutes. I want to see him play 10+ minutes a game at least. Take some of Foyle's minutes. This could be our playoff matchup. Don't think this will happen though because Butler and Arenas will definitely be back by then. I think we can still beat them though. Are you guys still going on about the whole Nelson/Arroyo thing?? This has got to stop. Nelson and Arroyo are both very streaky PGs that have good and bad nights. I can't believe you keep saying that if Arroyo would start more we would have more wins. This is really getting out of hand. I think the X-Factors on this team are the SGs. Bogans and Evans will need to play good throughout the playoffs if Turkoglu or Lewis have problems. Their offensive/defensive play will take us a long way in my opinion. Speaking of SGs, I see Redick played. He's alright but I think it's for the best to trade him. I rather have Garrity over him at this point! Yes, I said it....... Will Gortat play another game? To be continued........... EDIT: Language - MME |

Seems like it ![]() My pick is Dwight. I wish he can play point guard to end all arguments. ![]() Seriously though, all this debates about who is the better PG is moot. We have 3 backup PG's. If we have a PG combo like Ford and Calderon then that would be a good time to argue who is the better starter. |

I really thought jameer was going to try and have a 20 point game after some early baskets, but to my relief he slowed his role and let the real scorers on this team score. Maybe he is realizing his role finally, I wont hold my breath though. nice blow out win. |
