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!

We just need our guys to play as a team for EVERY posession. No napping or taking a posession or two off to rest. Play strong as a unit for 48 minutes (gametime) and then rest for 48 hours (real time)....seems like a fair trade to me. SVG needs to get our guys in the right state of mind to be a dominate team. With our depth, there is no excuse for us to need a quarter to "get going". We should be ready to go, if not starters, then our backups, right out of the tunnel. Lets go Capt. Dwight, get your men ready for battle!!! Every season, Dwight is preaching that "his" goal is to win a ship.....but that takes tremendous amounts of effort and work on the teams part......so from here on out......i wanna see hustle and HEART on every single posession (on the court and from the guys on the bench) to get our team going. If a member of the team is dragging or getting lazy, one of the other guys needs to step up and smack some motivation into him...no lie or methaphor there....give him a nice Eddy Curry to the head. |

Looking good so far. Shouldn't have too much trouble with such a bad team, but hopefully our guys aren't thinking that.

Pietrus with the shot beater. Magic up by 9 at the end of 3 quarters played. |

Magic win, move to 14-4 overall! Another big second half to put away an opponent on the road. |

Great game overall. Dwight like he finally out of the offense funk he was. Nate Robinson was on fire on the 4th quarter but the Magic has too much fire for them to handle. We're are 8-2 on the road which is impressive to say the least. |

I'll take the win, but this team has to start making free throws more consistently. Carter misses 4 in a row? I know it sounds like a minor issue, but this team is very unreliable when it comes to free throw shooting. You honestly can't trust anyone at the line. |

Nice win. NY didn't shoot quite as well as the Bucks did, but not too many teams can. But nevertheless NY played pretty well and we still toyed with them. Imagine what this team will do when it hits its stride? Right now I feel like we're playing at best 75% of our ability. |

Soon the NBA is going to notice who's on top for so long and who's in the elite falling behind thus far. Obviously credit to Stan van Gundy for changing the motivational factor by being less critical on this team and been very much positive to the progress of the team. Dwight Howard was right. This team needed a positive critique from Stan that whatever the result, he (Stan) would point out the flaws without risking the chemistry on the locker room. Great month! |

Totally agree. The meeting between Howard and SVG on the team's behalf really seems to have helped improve our overall play. |
