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.

What I'm about to say has had no effect on the out come of this game, but this game has been officiated, not badly, but blatantly one sided. Perkins and Scalabrineie were getting away with murder all night. We looked at Ray Allen and a whistle was blown. I really thought we would win this game, but we really had no chance from the tip. Between their BS shooting the likes a which we have never seen before and the officiating, we could have played like the first half of Game 1 and it would not have mattered. |

house had to have done something to aggravate rafer into hitting him in the head..although rafer has an odd personality, there had to be something to set him off. |

Hahaha... a fitting conclusion. I'm a huge Magic fan and always will be, so I think I have a right to complain... at least occassionally. Outside of Nelson, this is the mentally weakest team I have ever seen. They have no guts. When they get kicked, they stay down. When they are up, they can't hold leads. They lose composure. They whine. If they quit playing like prima donnas who feel that they are deserving of a win, they may actually have a chance in this series. But until then, we are going to see more of what we've seen the last 6 quarters. Start Lee at the point next game, start JJ at SG. Lue is the kiss of death. |

Rafer hit House? I shut the game off in the 3rd when we were down by 20 something points, I couldn't take anymore. Did he punch him? |

Slapped him in the back of the head running behind him. Didn't see what the reason for it was though. |

Eddie House hit a 3pt shot and then ran into Alston, so Rafer just turned and smacked him in the back of the head. House is basically lying when he said he did nothing to Alston. Watch the replay. He clearly runs straight into Alston. I'm not saying that allows Alston to smack him in the back of the head, but there was a reason for it. If the NBA had 1/10 of a brain, they would simply fine Rafer and move on, but knowing them, he'll be suspended for Game 3. Boston is allowed to rake a player's face, throw another player into a scorer's table and throw an elbow and suffer no consequences for it. Yet we'll have two minor incidents and two suspensions. The league won't tolerate the Magic "roughing up" their beloved Celtics. |

Magic looked like they were content with a split and didnt really show up at all tonight. Tough game to watch. No doubt Alston is out for Game 3. |

just saw the elbow in a niiiice clear, zoomed in shot on tnt......house should be suspended for game 3, not that it will do much cuz he's an f'in scrub and he won't shoot like that again. Unfortunately, Skip is probably gonna, and probably should be suspended, 'cause after all....kids watch the nba and b**chslapping somebody, even if it is Eddie House's punk a**, isn't really justifiable in the real world even if ur defending yourself. By the way.....Eddie House is a douch*box its not an expletive, I censored it...... |

We all saw this one coming. Boston played excellent basketball the whole game. If we wanna win this series, we need to win game 3 and 4. A split at home is unacceptable. |

Alston deserves to be suspended. He took a shot, out of frustration, at another player's head. Again, a Magic player with a pathetic cheap shot. Did anybody see Derek Fisher lay out Scola during the Lakers/Rockets game last night? That is how you send a message. Face him up and take him down, in the flow of the game. |

The thing that bugs me the most is all this talk about Alston being suspended. Did anyone see the Lakers game last night? Fisher threw a clear elbow at Scola. If the league suspends Rafer and not Fisher, I'm going to be so pissed off. Barkley and Smith were saying that Fisher's elbow might not be a suspension, but Alston's is definitely. WTF? Fisher through a pretty vicious elbow at Scola. The Lakers are claiming that he was trying to fight through the screen. Such bulls**t. I know the league will do what it does best: protect its strong market teams. Alston will be suspended and Fisher will get a slap on the wrist. The NBA. Where corruption happens. |

Total lack of effort and energy. This team just wants to shoot Js all night. So what if someone bumps into you or says something to you. You gotta keep your composure and just play ball. Besides, I'm 99.99% sure it was because House was lighting his a** up all night anyway. Like Eddie said, "That's what happens when you start bustin' somebody a**. They get upset like that and resort to bush league tactics." Overall, we just didn't look like we wanted to win this game. Hopefully we can hold serve in Games 3 and 4. |

Enough with the conspiracy BS. Fisher hit Scola hard, but it was done during play. He didn't seek out Scola and he didn't take a shot at anybody's head. That, in my opinion, doesn't deserve a suspension. It deserved an ejection, which is what it got. Alston, like Howard, took a shot at someone's head, away from the play, out of anger. That's suspension worthy in my opinion. If they want to send a message, set a hard screen, dunk on him, give him a hard foul as he is lighting us up - but don't slap his head as he's running down the court. We're like a team of little girs... Conspiracy theories, like yours, are forced to ignore the obvious. Celtics didn't shoot a free thow in the first half of game 1, despite getting blown out. Where were the officials then? Paul Pierce was kept in foul trouble all night with ticky-tack fouls. Where were the officials then? C'mon man, just let it go. |

It's not a conspiracy theory. The league would rather see a stronger market team go further in the playoffs. That's a fact. It gives them higher ratings and more money. Are we going to pretend that's not true? |

Here is the main issue and a point Falcon is getting to. Fisher's play was in the flow of the game. Dwight and Rafer just took a cheap shot out of the blue, not in the flow of the game. Now was Rafer provoked, of course. We know House is a b**ch a** mofo, but you know what, Rafer can't do that he has to show some restraint and now we have to win Game 3 without him which we can do. |
