I'm glad our current backcourt is playing better defense than Carter/Jameer.

Wait, what?

I like how sometimes D12 gets called for travel for doing the EXACT same move sometimes...he didn't just now but I rmr in other games he does get called...consistency ftw !

just imagine if we decided to play the inside game for the whole game...

stan almost always sticks to the same 5. its infuriating. if i was the coach, i'd go crazy with all the possible lineups at my disposal but stan always has to stick to the same thing, over and over again...

If J-Will makes that layup and Dwight makes his layup, this is a 10pt game.

But we can't make layups, so it's pointless to even fantasize over those things.

JJ and Jwill have been the best players on this team this year. Thats a joke considering how much talent is on this team.

Portland has made a bunch of "Only Against Orlando" shots, but it still doesn't help when we've handed them this game on a silver platter.

Amazing. This whole team sucks this year and somehow it's Patrick Ewings fault. You dreamers keep dreaming. I'll see you all in October, and only if Nelosn and Lewis are gone from this team.

Here's a safe bet. The Knicks make it to the finals before the Magic do unless massive trades are made.

Atlanta Hawks Ist place in Southeast.

Well, I'm sure he could get a buzz with Hakeem- we all know the Dream has smoked the wheat grass before. That said, I think hiring him would be a better idea.

this is too much, we have the best center in the nba and he cannot design simple plays to get him the ball??? that is unforgivable. he has 4 FGs - against a severely depleted blazer FL - who do you wanna pin this on then? stan has not been preparing this team properly

Dwight has rarely shown us that he is the best center. Time after time he is being beaten by others that so many here consider inferior to Dwight. But those centers have more offensive weapons then Dwight.

Dwight right now is too one dimensional when it comes to offense plus he has a terrible problem with fts so everyone fouls him. So as of right now that best center label does not fit.

As up and down as Dwight's post game is, he's shown he can kill crappy post defenders with regularity- just look at what he does to Sacramento every time he faces them. Juwan Howard cannot guard Dwight in the post at all and it's utterly ridiculous that this team continues to jack up horrible three point attempts in light of that fact.

Dwight is 2-5 and 1-6 at the ft line. His only true shot is the dunk, but he constantly brings the ball down when he gets a rebound instead of just going up with it. Considering that he has not been the go to guy this season you can't blame others for taking shots, but I would like to see more players taking it to the rim including Pietrus.
I mean if Redick can do why not anyone else. Redick is 4-6 and only taken 2 three point attempts that did not hit. Instead taking the ball inside and getting better shots I really wish that we would see more of that.

Is this your daily drive-by post when the Magic are getting their asses kicked? Ewing does suck as a coach.

do you not think these 15 players that play every night and all the different lineups actually hurts the chemistry and team sometimes? i would like it cut down a player or 2

My guess, there's been some trouble from players letting Dwight either score or force the opposing defense to focus so tightly on him that they lose track of somebody else. All we need out of Vince is a rescue play when the defense has shut everything else down. I think he's trying to mix his style of play with Dwight's, only a) he's tired and b)this team is built around Howard, not Carter.
