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!

Geez, if only they would put all those frustration into games like the last one. SVG has to teach his team to channel it on EVERY game from here on. |

Read about this yesterday, and I have to say that if you want to be considered one of the best, you have to BE one of the best. We have a very good team on our hands here, and I'm definitely grateful for the season we've been having, but the Magic wouldn't even be a playoff team in the West right now if the season ended, sadly. Luckily, we play in the weak East, but if the Magic want respect, they're going to have to earn it. Losing to teams with similar records in the MUCH harder West doesn't help (ie - Golden State). However, I'm glad to see the guys take on the "us against the world" mentality. I'd much, much rather see them in this type of scenario than see them being a sub-.500 team fighting for a playoff spot and a one in a million chance at upsetting a superior team like they were last year. Progress, my friends. |

Similar Report from the Sentinel Dwight should tone down the complaints to the refs. He should pick only the legitimate gripes. The refs review the game tapes, and if keeps complaining even on correct calls he will get ignored in the future. This team has some growing up to do, but it would be exciting to see how a motivated Magic team will fair in the playoffs. The Magic players should just stop talking and start showing their aggression on the court where it matters. |

Just play. Who cares what a bunch of "experts" think? They don't know any more about basketball than we do. Every prediction they make is wrong. Even if they said we were contenders, I wouldn't care. Their opinion is meaningless. |
