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.

Wow, that's really scary stuff. No wonder it's taking so long for him to return. |

Sheesh. This is a nightmare season for Nelson. A shame too since I'm sure he wanted to explode onto the scene after the death of his father. |

I feel like Nelson's been having a pretty solid year, honestly. Definitely better than last season. He gets more assists, and his turnovers are down. I'm part of a small group, but really I haven't had much of a problem with Nelson's play at all this season. I know there are some here and a lot over at RealGM who want him out of the starting lineup next season (as in bring in a new PG). As for this latest news story; keep him out one more game, please. Make sure he's over the effects of this before we have to hear about it bothering him in the postseason. Edit: Just took a quick glance at his stats, and he's up in rebounds, FG%, 3P%, and FT% as well. I have a feeling he'll only continue improving next season - I'm optimisic. |

I agree, MM. I don't mind him that much either. I still believe he has the ability if he could eventually get going. He's more of a scoring PG, and at least he can rebound a little, and like you said he's been getting his assists up more than he did in the past. Hopefully he's alright come playoff time. |

He's certainly not the type of point guard who will ever be able to carry a mediocre team on his shoulders (Nash, Kidd, Paul, etc), but if he's on a talented team, he can help the team win ball games - as he's done this year. While I would love to see a top point guard here as the starter, and Nelson off the bench, I still think a true power forward should much more of a priority. He needs to sit as long as neccessary to get rid of the side effects. There's no hurry to get back. On a side note, I suffered a pretty horrible concussion a few months back (day after Thanksgiving). Taking my little cousins to Chuck E Cheeses (dangerous place, I know), I was struck in the temple by a hard, wooden "skee ball." Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. I was violently ill, couldn't see, and was so dizzy that I had no idea where I was. Within 3 hours, I was incoherent and almost unresponsive. They rushed me in for emergency CT scans to check for bleeding in my brain, but found nothing (thank God) except a very serious concussion. I was in the hospital for a few days and was checked on by every neurologist in the Tampa Bay area. Long story short, I feel Jameer's pain. |

Honest to God truth, it was a 7 year old girl (I'm a badass, I know). On her wind up she accidentally let go of the ball and I was standing about 5 feet away, and the ball hit me square in the temple, where there is almost no protection for your brain. It didn't hurt that bad, but I don't really remember much of the rest of the day. Serious concussions are pretty scary - I wouldn't reccomend it. |

Wow man, glad you're alright now. That stuff isn't a joke, it's serious as hell. Go figure it would be at a place like Chuck E Cheeses too. When I was younger there was a similar place here, and I ended up hurting my tooth on one of these net things there. Glad you're OK though. |
