Man that Redick three to beat the buzzer was so sweet

they still took more free throws and thats with them fouling us 4 times in the last few minutes..

Vince Carter sucks! JJ Reddick is the man!

North Carolina sucks! Duke the best!

i don't agree with all of it, but there is some truth in this statement.

Great gutty win. Excellent defensive effort in the 4th quarter. Another classic 2009-2010 Magic victory. Coast for 3 quarters and lock down in the 4th.

Dwight David Howard was a beast on the boards tonight and JJ Redick was definitely sweater vest recipient. Vince was hot garbage and absolutely needs to pick it up. 10 points per game in the last 3 (although the Magic have won 2 of those 3) isn't going to cut it over the long haul. Too much biting on pump fakes by Pietrus tonight.

bulls giving the game to the hawks, some good games on ind-san, sac-mil, okc-hst

Dwight's season high thus far is 26... that's amazing. The previous three years, he's had a multitude of 30+ point games, but this was to be expected with all the new pieces. I'm loving that he's finally getting back to being the DPOY caliber player we all know he is.

^^yea dwight is averaging 9.2 shot attempts a game(4th on team), thats his lowest total since his rookie season, i know there is several reasons but he needs to be a little more aggressive at times..

Good win against a good team despite their injurues. The Magic showed better overall effort tonight compared to the last 5 games but we still played poorly for long stretches. We had way too many turnovers, specially in the first half and we were still settleling for too many jumpers. If it wasent for Jason Williams keeping us in the game in the first half the Magic probably would have been down by 15 in the first half. Then JJ put us on his back in the second half. Dwight did a real good job scaring people from driving into the lane. I am still waiting for the Magic to show a more consistant effort on both ends. I want to see more ball movement and penentration on offense. I dont mind Carter taking outside shots but he is setteling way too much. He needs to be more aggressive penetrating, its annoying to see him jack up long jumper after long jumper. I want to see us post up Lewis more. I want to see us box people out in rebounds. Even Dwight let 2 rebs get away from him because he didnt box out. One he just let bounce on the floor and Miller grabed it and easily layed it in. Then he had position on a reb but he somehow let a slower Pryzbilla get around him for a reb. On another possesion there were 4 Magic players around the basket and one Por player and somehow we let the Por guy get the reb. We did seem to play more energetic defense but that needs to be more consisntant, not occassional.

For this game atleast that was the case.

Great Win! Couldn't watch the 2nd half but good to get a W over a tough, young team even with the injuries.

Vince sucked tonight, but he'll get out of this funk. For now we can all say JJ Redick is outplaying Vince.

Good game guys. I would've liked to see Portland win obviously, but with the way our season's going, this loss doesn't come as a shocker.

Well it looked like Aldridge missed the flight back in Portland.

Yo, where's the victory sweater vest thread. Somebody is slacking.

It was a hard fought game most of the way through, but Portland is what they are, a soft, jump-shooting team. If the shots fall, we win, if the jump shots don't fall, we don't have any inside game to save us. We have some nice pieces, but I'd like to see Portland get a post threat as it doesn't seem that Aldridge is that player and while Oden could be that player, it's hard to tell if he'll ever play a full season.
