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.

Actually, this is nothing like the Golden State-Dallas series. GS had Dallas' number during the regular season. That's why people weren't in total shock when it happened. Sure, Dallas had a great record, but they didn't match up well with GS. And that's what the NBA is all about....matchups. No one is saying that you can't have bad feelings about a game or series, but to say with such conviction that the Magic will lose this series because of ONE game is very pessimistic in my book. To watch 82 games this season and throw in the towel after one playoff game is a bit premature to me. Like it or not, you give up on this team too often and too quickly. Just pointing out the obvious. If you don't like it when someone calls you out on it, then change your attitude. |

What conviction? You make it sound like I've changed my avatar to an old school Sixer logo and are hoping the Magic lose. I have/had a bad feeling about this series not because of one game, but because I think this team isn't healthy and is not playing with heart. And momentum can sometimes get out of hand in playoff series. You can't always win like we have been winning the majority of our games as of late: either no showing until the 4th quarter or taking the foot off of the gas in the end. You can't keep doing that. And if we do play well and you will not stop me from praising the team. I hope my feelings are wrong. I am pulling for the team, but I just don't know if they can get their mojo back. I'm watching my favorite NHL team take it to a 1 seed, top record overall team on their own ice. The Sharks tanked the end of the season and my Ducks were as hot as they have ever been right now. San Jose could come back and win the series, no doubt. But their season long play doesn't mean jack squat right now, especially if we can win tonight in Anaheim. I know the Magic aren't down 2 games, but we'll see. Hopefully they win tomorrow convincingly. But as far as I go, it's pretty obvious you have an agenda plain and simple. Maybe you're a Gator fan or a New England Patriots fan. Who knows? But you continue to try and be a thorn in my side and it's getting old. You aren't going to punk me out and you aren't going to call me bandwagon. You don't know me and you don't know how much this playoff season means to me. I've had a very hard year personally and I've put a lot of stock into the Magic this year. And watching that performance Sunday has made my past few days miserable. Do I take these games too seriously, yeah I do. Do I get too worked up sometimes, yeah I do. But don't you dare question my fanhood. I was there watching every single game in the 21-61 season. And even spent my own money to go to a game that season when I was in town that year when we were dead last. No offense to anyone else on this board, but you have continued to single me out and I'm sick of it. If numerous people would like for me to leave this board, I will. But if not, just stop replying to anything I say and I'll do the same. |

dont leave dude!! ill miss you! on a serious note...lets just put game 1 behind us, along with all this bickering, and focus on game 2 tomorrow night! We will take game 2, and then everyone will be back on track!! Lets settle on that its safe to say we all are upset about game 1's result, but there is nothing anyone can do about it and the arguing, well, isn't helping the morale of the forum. Troofs?? |

Guys.. Come on. Everyone is upset with the loss but lets not take it out on each other. Its a long series and we have a great team to be able to come back and take it. Don't forget were all fighting for the same cause! |

I apologize for your personal problems. Hope everything goes well for you. However, I don't single you out. I find it kind of humorous that you think I have an "agenda" on this board. I simply come on here to discuss the Magic and other topics in the NBA. Contrary to popular belief, I don't wake up in the morning thinking of ways to piss you off. It's just that I've read enough of your posts and I started to get irritated at the fact that you are a bit of a pessimist. Don't you remember my debate with Brutalfacts a while ago? Or with H2H? If I disagree with someone, I'll say something. Isn't that what forums are for? Trust me, I have better things to do than single people out online and try to piss them off. Consider our feud over. I won't say anything to you anymore, if it bothers you that much. |

I'm not trying to pile on here, but your comparison to the Ducks/Sharks series is flawed. For one thing, you state that at the end of the season, the Ducks were playing great hockey and the Sharks were tanking (pun intended?), yet you compare the Sixers to the Ducks and the Sixers actually were playing worse than the Magic to end the season. Please don't forget this, and don't forget that we swept the Sixers in the regular season, and that we were up 18 at one point in the third quarter. Yes, we let up a bit, our offense was stagnant, and we couldn't make a stop in the fourth quarter, but despite the fact that Iggy hit that shot, Hedo played some GREAT D in forcing him to take a fade-away long range shot that he was lucky to hit and would probably miss nine times out of ten! Being a Magic fan since the beginning, I understand your pessimism, but let's see how the series plays out. If we lose tonight, the sky is falling! If we win, IMO, we win the series! |

Guys instead of fighting each other we should take that frustration against the Sixers fans? Go Magic! |
