Nobody wants to play with Dwight's cheesebrain.

It's hard to just barely taste it... and then drift further and further away because an incompetent GM can't do his jo right. And the owners are too stupid to fire his ass.

Oh I'm sure it's hard as a fan. Even with Dwight, they're only an average offensive team and only 12th in defensive rating. SVG is obviously gone and I imagine Dwight is gone as well. Dwight leaves, there's no way they're a playoff team next year.

Hell yeah.

Props to Orlando for playing tough, could have easily rolled over sooner than they did.

But that is only because we made so many bad decisions in the past. Jameer and Jrich are too inconsistent, Turk is just trash plain and simple, we traded FOR Gilbert Arenas, paid too much to Rashard etc etc.
I really hope we keep Ryan and JJ but the rest for me are just not doing it.

yeah because everyone on ISH can predict the future...we've seen how right they usually are.....such wonderful, one-liners breaking down the series...

The problem with the Magic is they live and die by the 3 pointer. The 3 ball doesn't go down, they're f*cked. They're way too one-dimensional.

[InspiredLebowski]

This is weirdly anticlimactic for me. I guess because I expected it with Howard out. Just glad the city and state have no excuse not to pay attention anymore.

[Dro]

Yup...they were hitting the 3 ball all series..and they still lost 4-1 game...the matchup vs the Heat will be a completely different matchups..Its like people forget the playoffs are separate rounds and what happen in one round has no bearing on the next....

[leopoldstotch]

the quietest thread, yet they are the first team to advance to the Eastern Conf 2nd round.

Another problem on the way the team was built. We got shooters and that's it.
@Dro
