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!

cook played 4 mins because he is a bum. stan has finally realized. what good does he do when he is in? he can't defend, he can't rebound, he can't score inside the 3 pt line, and he tries to do things he can't. i could repeat the same few sentences for JJ. hopefully stan doesnt get persuaded by the fans and sit jj for the rest of the season. then trade him. whats the status of turk and jameer? finally when jameer gets back into the thick of things and shows some sign of being a decent PG he gets hurt again. |

No Paul Porter, no Megan, and the addition of Violet Palmer (even though she had an overall good night, Willis was the dumbass), that equals disaster. Stan showed everyone that JJ is not play worthy. Pat may get Cookie's minutes. Would love to get Gortat some minutes now as we're struggling a bit. Again, I HATE OUR GOD DAMN TRAINER! Jameer is kneeling a the scores table a foot from the bench pointing to his neck, and it takes the trainer about a minute to f*cking even talk to him. Didn't see the Hedo sprained wrist. Too many Spurs fans tonight. Crowd stood no chance of getting into the game other than a few 3s and booing the refs.I'm VERY proud of Dwight's effort and we will do well if he can play that hard in the playoffs (just a matter of making shots). Ninja and Rashard did very well tonight. Kebo should've been pulled early in that 4th as Mo really needs to get those minutes. I swear we missed like 18 free throws (haven't looked at any box score). |

Agreed. I haven't been a JJ fan since before we drafted him and I trust SVG on this one. Sucks that tonight happened, but at least we have seen point blank that the organization's feelings about JJ's defense are not unfounded. Hope Nelson and Turk recover quick. |

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks

otis better draft a damn contributor for us in this years draft b/c right now his draft record looks pretty bad, although if fran comes over and becomes a valuable contributor (rebounds, defense, block shots) then it will start looking up if the player we draft this year looks like they could be part of the rotation |

If Nelson and Turk play the whole game, this very well may have been a win. Gotta get them back... |

It was amazing to watch the D fall apart when JJ got in the game. This was his chance to shine and instead he misses two shots and we get killed on D. Sorry JJ, but that just don't cut it. |

I'm interested in seeing the rotation with Turk out. Does Cook start? Or does Evans slide over and either Bogans or Dooling start? Either way, we should see more of JJ, so hopefully he can play better and show what we are missing out on by keeping him on the bench. If not, than at least we know that SVG knows his buisness and JJ is a scrub! |

I have a feeling Cook will start next to Lewis, but I could see Ben's line-up working as well. |

Here's another one...
This one keeps Dooling in his customary bench energizer role and buries Redick, two things Stan probably likes. The downside is we'd start Cook, who's been straight-up awful this month. And we'd almost certainly have to play Garrity 20 minutes a game. I love Pat and he tries hard, but he's just not that good anymore. I'm not saying it to be mean; it's just a fact.

I seriously doubt Cook would start. Dooling had a very strong showing with Hedo and Jameer out. So I think that would warrant him starting at SG; that would mean Evans gets moved to the 3...
