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!

http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_a...ad_of_schedule/ I really hope he's able to come back in a limited role off the bench. I'd just hate to see him miss the Finals. Of course, only if he's fully recovered. Or at least like 90%. |

Rocks blocking shots on guys with dreadlocks

didnt he say in his interview during the game last night that he was a little behind schedule on the rehab? he said he was gonna shoot for preseason which was looking like a long shot. someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure thats what he said. |

As much as I like Nelson, I really don't like the idea of a comeback. We're in a bit of a rhythm right now - no need to mess that up. Not to mention the risk of further damage to his shoulder. |

Yeah, I'm with Falcon on this one. There's really no need. We're on a roll and you wouldn't want to disturb it. And you also wouldn't want to disturb Jameer's newly repaired shoulder. |

I actually agree with you guys. I really want to see him play a couple minutes a game just because he deserves it, but really it would only be because of that. I doubt he'd make much of a difference in his current state. |

Rafer is still no Jameer, but he's far better than he was in the regular season. He is managing the game well, and while I still think he is taking too many shots, he is getting the ball to Howard and defering to Turkoglu at the right times. |

This story is really gathering steam. This might actually happen. What a big boost emotionally it will be for the team. |

Yeah, I'm still torn on this, I keep flip-flopping on what I would like to see. In the end, if he's healthy enough, he can provide a few minutes a game. And I don't mean putting him in in a tight game situation, but maybe we've got like a 8-10 point lead and playing strong, give him a minute or two here or there to excite the home crowd and give the team an emotional boost, see what he's got in the tank. I don't know. We'll see how the story develops. Like dxwwf3 said, it could be a big emotional boost, a good spark off the bench (in very limited minutes). |

I am flabbergasted that not only it's a risk to Jameer's health, it's a chemistry risk which the whole team will regret if they can't seal the season right. But I understand it's exaggeration to everyone's opinion and I think that this team will work this one out, you know have a get together of what should be the game plan since this news. |
