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!

It has to do with us talking about the Celtics, unfortunately.

I have no control over the ads; if they pick up on any keywords that we are using, they will run ads for those keywords.

Apparently, they have Celtics tickets ads in their database...

Yeah, I help run a Yankee message board and we have the same thing. Every so often we'll see Red Sox ad and banners at the top of our board.

As for my mindset going into this game, I have to have my focus on defense and rebounding because that’s what my team needs from me to be successful. It’s not about touches or shots or anything like that. I care about winning, and I have to be an enforcer in the paint for us to win ball games. We won 59 games during the regular season because I had my focus on defense and rebounding. If we defend tonight, I really think we’ll win this game.

That should be the mindset, Dwight can get his points cleaning up around the rim, but when we've tried to force the issue to him inside he's either taking bad hook shots or getting stripped as he makes his move to the middle.

What I want to see is Rashard posting up and taking the ball inside. He's key, stop with the 3 pointers from him tonight. We have Hedo, JJ, Peaches and Lee who can take those shots, Rashard should be taking advantage of his mismatches and getting to the bucket and posting up.

Right. Thats what they need to KEEP DOING when they have a lead in the 4th quarter. Once things start to get tight in the 4th they keep resorting to jacking up threes or long jumpers. Its so damn frustrating how this team gets flustered in crunchtime and loses focus on what got them the lead in the first place!

If we take another lead into the 4th quarter, I dont know how Im gonna react! lol. Should I expect another collapse? Should I be nervous? Should I think they are gonna bounce back and actually close the game out? Im gonna be so confused! lol! X.

That's what Dwight said at the beginning of the series too. He said that he'll be needed for defense and rebounding in this series, not offense. What I've learned from Howard this year is that he's full of s**t. He tries to say the right things, but he's thinking something else entirely. He says that he's going to focus on defense and rebounding and he only cares about wins, but then he b**ches about touches. When he doesn't get the ball enough on offense, you can see his lack of focus on defense. It happens a lot. His comments say one thing, but his play says something else entirely.

The shots just aren't falling.

Not a good sign early.

Keep attacking the basket. Don't settle for jumpers.

Cut the lead down to 1...showing some fight, some toughness.

But, and I hate to nitpick - damn it Alston. Tie ballgame after the way the Celts were handling us would've been a HUGE momentum shift heading into the tunnel.
