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!

Of course it's true. But saying that the league would rather see a big market team in the finals is not the same thing as saying that the league, the refs, and the media are all working together to ensure that the small market teams are kept down. I just don't see the corruption. If Rafer doesn't slap people, we wouldn't even be in this situation. We hold our own destiny, so let's stop blaming our shortcomings on the basketball bourgeois. |

If Rondo's smacks to the face, body slams, and elbows are okay because they're "in the flow of the game." Then someone should crack Rondo in the mouth with an elbow during the flow of the game, then make some excuse that he was trying to get position for the rebound. It seems to work, right? That's such a weak excuse. |

Please, man. If Rondo walks up to Brad Miller and slaps him in the face after the play, I guarantee you he gets suspended. Likewise, if Alston catches House in the back of the head while House is shooting, I'll guarantee you he doesn't get suspended. Stop taking the incidents out of context. And you are exactly right. If someone has a problem with Rondo, foul him hard while he is dunking on us or slicing up our defense. Then, take the ejection like a man. But, knowing our team, we'll probably push him in the back and run away and try to hide. |

What Slap should've done is drive his shoulder into Houses face on the next posession with no concern of being called for an offensive foul. You're right, howver I still think Rondo is protected. What's theyre excuse for him throwing another player into the scorers table? |
