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.

BTW, I think we are probably 4-0 at home when James plays at our floor. This building is absolutely rowdy and if the Magic can repeat this performance and get a win in the series, then our crowd will go crazy once again. |

Should be a great atmosphere. We just have to show up at 8:30. If we had just shown up tonight to start the game, this series might be over. As great as our 4th quarters have been in this series, we sure blew it tonight. We have to stay out of foul trouble and the officials are going to have to force Cleveland to run an offensive play beside having LeBron stand there, drive, and wait for the foul to shoot the FT's. Not blaming this loss on officiating one bit, but they are allowing Cleveland to basically do nothing on offense and thrive with it. |

I feel very good about Saturday. You know we are not gonna get off to the slow starts like we did at the Q for 3 games. Thats all they need to do. Not get off to a slow start and they are fine. |

BAH! I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but the team wasted yet another monster comeback with an atrocious fourth quarter! Oh well, let's hope the team clears their heads, Rafer remembers that he isn't a true shooter, and that we close out the series on Saturday night in a a dominating fashion! |

And I really glad that this team didn't all of a sudden made promises like T-Mac that they are definitely going to win this series in 5. They saw the factors, tried their best to go at it but didn't get to finish. I am not going to be disappointed now but if they lose again, it's over. Anyway, I am glad our players didn't jump the gun and speak before the game like Mo did. |

rafer better play f**king smarter next game, he made stupid decisions at critical times during this game and his shooting was terrible. lee's defense is atrocious he cant even keep delonte in front of him. the whole dwight isnt allowed to even challenge lebron at the hole deal is another issue that has been gone over enough. it is wade like right now |

dwight talking about the hose job the refs are giving him when he tries to challenge lebron. he gave a quick no to a question about whether he can do anything to get less fouls in the series. he then gave the quickest no ever to the question of whether he can be as physical as he wants to be. then he got up and walked out |

Lee's defense is not atrocious. This kid is a good defender. West got some shots off, but other than that he held it down. But I completely agree about the star treatment Lebron is getting. But it's always been like this. The superstars can do whatever they want. |

this series everytime i see lee guarding west and williams he is just getting blown by like no tomorrow. i like the kid as much as everyone else but his defense is definitely leaving much to be desired. |

Lee's defense was not terrible and awful, he did what he could and back off which it is unnecessary if he's a back-up. That's a mistake. |

either way w/ the refs or not we came out like hot garbage tonight and rafer made some really bad decisions down the stretch while the game was close and we killed out momentum w/ stupid turnovers on the fast breaks we had in the 3rd qtr. missed ft's made me want to pull my hair out too tonight. im worried that mo williams might actually show up to play now. |

Basically, we beat ourselves tonight. Missed free throws, stupid 3s (7 3s for Alston! WTF!), and sloppy offense usually ends up in a loss. We have to come out Saturday firing on all cylinders, because I want a f*cking blowout. |

This team can't keep missing from the charity stripe like we are, and I'm not even talking about Dwight. Too many other guys are missing free throws they should be knocking down. That can't happen in Game 6, we have to play a crisp game. We can't get down by 20 and try to dig out of a hole either. We need to control the game from the get go. |

and they also, also have to stop giving in by turning the ball over to the Cavs!!!!! It's the reason why they lost this game or any crucial game in this franchise. They need to protect the ball more!!!!!! |
