NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

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!

I thought it just got net, on one replay I thought it looked like the ball went straight down like it may have barely touched the rim, but to me I thought all net on most of the angles I saw. I think in a spot like that you gotta stick with the call on the floor.

yup, damn right

and i dont get why dwight always gets pushed around by fatasses like davis and perkins. i know they are fat f**ks and have thick lower bodies but is dwight just not working on his lower body strength at all? you would think by now he would realize he needs to squat his a** off so he doesnt get pushed off the block

For the Superman and most dominating big man he is hyped to be, he gets pushed around WAY to much. He needs to improve in that area next year. Plus he can't do anything on the offensive end against Perkins. Perkins and Davis are having their way with him and making him look really bad this series. Plus he needs to work on his composure, when he losses his cool he losses his game and makes dumb decisions. How about the shove on Rondo after he secured the defensive rebound. Stupid!

sorry to all you guys that disagree but I can name 5-7 points in the last game directly related to bad calls. and falcon, man I looked at that thing from all the angles, had it tivoed and , dude the net swished but there was NO change of trajectory. and if i cant see it on slow mo how the hell can they see it enough to REVERSE it? like in the NFL it has to be pretty damn solid to reverse it.

Ok, man. I only saw the one tv replay and it looked like it hit to me, but I'll take your word for it. Either way, that call didn't cost us the game. Missing every shot for 5 minutes did.

I totally agree with you, with that being said, this team can only look at itself tonight. You have a 14 point lead in the 4th, you have to win that game. The refs can't blow that for you.

yes but it can steal your momentum, and i think as a basketball fan you have to know how important momentum is.

This team is mentally weak. IT'S A FACT. This team has all the tools for a championship, except for ONE thing. A killer instinct. We are so mentally weak. To allow a team to score 33 points in the 4th when we allowed 16, 21, and 22 points in the previous quarters is unacceptable.

Howard is mentally weak and I'm sick of him saying that he's the leader. He is NOT the leader. Jameer Nelson is our leader. When we were in LA during the regular season against the Lakers, this team was tough and that came from Nelson, not Howard. DWIGHT, YOU'RE NOT THE LEADER.

Gerald Wallace scores 1 less point a game, gets more rebounds, more assists, more steals, and more blocks than Rashard Lewis, and he gets paid $9 million less. Looking back to a couple summers ago, maybe we should have gone with him instead of Sir Passive. Imagine what you could do with that other $9 million bucks.

this is 1000x worse than that 21-61 season. that season i could watch the games and bear them but not this bulls**t. im so sick of this folding of the tents upstairs with this team. seriously if i hear otis say i like our team in the offseason this time i will be pissed. i usually give him the pass but this has to be a wakeup call to him that his superstar is definitely not ready to lead at all and he needs some attitude infused in here

Very well said, and yes, Dwight is our leader right now which is why this team is so mentally weak. He's rubbing off on the whole damn team. Dwight is killing us in this series, bottom line. Him and Rafer have just played awful. I don't care how many rebounds Dwight grabs to pad his stats, he's been a joke this series.

Jameer is the true leader, and if god forbid he can just stay healthy for a year this team can do some damage. We do need another big though. A bruiser, someone who can play the 4 for us.

The Celtics were on a 13-0 run, how much momentum could we possibly have had?

I agree 100% on both points!

Rashard played fantastic most of this game and has really been the best player in this series. The 3 point shot not falling is a mystery. We hit them to answer every run up until the end, where we weren't even close. If Alston's goes in off of the deflection, we win this series. Rafer played too well to blame him though.

This one goes on everyone involved in the game tonight. Players and coaches. Philly played us better than Boston has. The difference is that we managed to show up for most of that series. We choked this one away. This Boston team is a joke and will more than likely get swept by Cleveland.
