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.

Pure domination

I told ya’ll the other day that we find it really disrespectful that everybody seems to be pulling for LeBron and Kobe to get to the Finals. Every time I look at TV, it seems like that’s all anybody is talking about. It’s like nobody is even giving us a shot at winning this series and we’ve used it as motivation. We’re up 2-to-1 and we have a long way to go vs. the Cavs, but hopefully we can mess up those plans of getting Cleveland and L.A. in the Finals. If the lil’ ol’ Magic make it, what will they say then? We really, really think we have the team and the talent to win a championship this year. Nobody out there on ESPN thinks that we can do it, but we think we have everything that it takes right now to bring that ‘ship back to O-town. I’m proud of my guys the way we fought in Game 3 to get that win because nothing at all was easy to come by. They were hacking us all night and I knew it would be up to us to make free throws and keep executing. I missed some FTs early in the game, but I just tried to keep my form true and I started knocking them down. For so me reason, when I pick out a song and sing it at the free throw line it helps me not think so much about shooting them. I had a dance song in my head all last night, so I had that going on when I was at the line. Hey, whatever works, right? They were playing all kinda krunk music up in Cleveland, and it was helping me take my mind off my form. I gotta come up with some song for Tuesday in Game 4 to keep it rolling. We’ve got to get two more wins, but we really think we can win this series. If we move the ball to keep their bigs on the run, defend and rebound, we feel like we can beat anybody. We play like that, we can do it this year. People laughed a couple of years ago when I talked about bringing a championship to Orlando. But if we keep playing the right way, anything is possible now. Aiiight, ya’ll I guess I gotta go watch another one of these LeBron and Kobe commercials on TV. Naw, just kiddin. – D-12 http://www.dwighthoward.com/blog/?p=264 |

Good stuff. Its cool getting the perspective from Dwight's view from all the playoff games. Cavs-Lakers is the PR the League wants but messing up those plans like Dwight said sounds too convincing

I think the officiating problem has always been a conspiracy theory with the NBA, but I think this series has made it more obvious than ever. So much so, that I think a lot of basketball fans in America not from Orlando or Cleveland are beginning to root for the Magic as they are hating how these games are being officiated. It may be a blessing in disguise for us. It may become so obvious that the NBA will have to be much more unbiased to save their reputation. Also...I think Lebron is a great player and deserves respect in that sense. But if he wins a championship this way, it'll be as respected as Barry Bonds' career. Just like the asterisk next to Bonds' name reads "steroids," James' asterisk will read "Championship with help of NBA." Totally tasteless. |
