a couple of closing notes

first off...magic are 2nd in the division...not a huge deal but still lol what happened...

second...magic get a chance to redeem themselves...vs the Lakers...no no it gets better...on TNT...ok now you can ROFLMAOOO

LMFAO that was hilarious.

[EasternMagic]

What a damn travesty this team is playing like. And I only have football to distract me for a few more weeks.

Damn, I miss last year's team.

not even last years... how bout the team we had for the first like 15 games of the season... when if we didn't blow out a team it was a disappointment...

[BassMaster]

Oh God I just checked the stats and JW had more assists then Nelson and JJ had 3 the same as Nelson. What does that say about our starting pg.

[Bensational]

I'll remain patient, but this can only go on for so long...

yeah, i don't know what it is, but this game moreso than any other am i beginning to lose my patience. i'm on the verge of becoming a "let's make some changes already" guy.

i want to see guys benched the moment they take a play off. i want to see guys making easy buckets, not just 3's. i want Otis to trade for someone who can bring some life to this team, because we sorely, sorely lack a leader who can get the whole team fired up.

someone told me that i was crazy when i said vc comes back and ball movement stops and goes to iso...well didn't watch the game but sounds like it did. Awesome...hey otis...when a team makes it to the finals you don't trade 3/5 in the starting lineup...FYI!

[FFBlitzace]

Our national TV record just keeps getting uglier.

And our road record also continues to plummet. That used to be a calling card of ours. Sigh.

[EasternMagic]

the lakers are licking their chops right now.. kobe cant wait to do that ugly ass scow all night... im going into hibernation.

[purplehaze89]

This team is bunk. I give them no props.

ball movement really didnt look horrible tonight... shooting and turnovers and defense did.

[Viper1500]

Its easy to complain, but if you were Otis what would you do? I don't see many trade possibilities that make sense. The problem is with our starters so whoever we trade for needs to be starting, don't need anymore role players.

Ball movement wasn't the problem.

Rafer is on a garbage team, we get it..

It's way too tempting to hop on the bandwagon of bashers and the like. I'm exercising an unbelievable amount of restraint to even be defending these guys and rationalizing what is going on here. It's just tough to see something like this happening when you've had high expectations from the start.

There are very legitimate reasons why this team has struggled and I've brought those up several times already. I guess it's just hard to sit here and wait.

Don't forget ft's we hit 50% thanks mainly to Howard going ..................

[Bensational]

i saw Aldridge outrun Lewis for a loose ball tonight. this guy needs to get back on the juice, and fast.

[magicman123]

he cant defend, has no explosion, and is not seeing the court

[SOUL]

This is just snowpiling on how stressed I've been the last 2 weeks. I watch the Magic to unwind, which is pretty much an oxymoron

[magicfan4life05]

OT but for anyone who is depressed and needs a quick chuckle...

(and it's ok to laugh since no one was injured)

[FFBlitzace]

Dwight missed 7 of 10 free throws.

70% yo!

Oh wait...

[EGame]

what is the crowd chanting

They were chanting chaulupas because when the Blazers score 100 or more they get a free thing for a Chalupa at Taco Bell. I know you mentioned Blake was classless for shooting that 3, and maybe so, but he wanted to try and give the crowd free chalupas.

[Cigamodnalro]

Something drastic needs to happen, unfortunately. Something's impeding the chemistry of this team.

Vince for TMac's expiring and a pick? Bass and AJ for Andre Miller, with Jameer to the bench? Rashard Lewis at SF?
