Magic lost @ home to the Knicks, T-Mac only had 19. Orlando is a couple of minutes away from being 0-4(?). Maybe Bill Laimbeer eas right when he said they were overrated.

I've seen nothing early on this season to disprove what Laim had to say. They are a borderline playoff team. Like Laim said, there's only about 5 or 6 guys on the team that are truely NBA quality guys.

It looked more like he was trying to expose his teammates to make a point to management than it did trying to get them involved. After scoring like 18 straight points for his team he basically stopped shooting. The only thing the defense did differently is put Prince back on him. So if T-Mac wasn't playing like a punk that must mean Tay REALLY has his number seeing as how he shut him down last year in the playoffs and in the 4th quarter of this game.

ROFL. Oh God, I'm dying over here. Pistons fans at it again with the Prince shut T-Mac down BS. Prince couldn't shut down a paper bag. He's a 2nd rate role player that doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as T-Mac. Get over it. They put him BACK on T-Mac? Uhh, what? Prince was gaurding T-Mac the entire time he was on fire. Prince is the reason he was able to do that in the first place. They had 3 guys on him every chance they got the 4th quarter, not just Prince. Jesus, you guys will ignore the facts all day without shame.

And who is this Laimbeer clown? He obviously works at the circus. He obviously ISN'T a proffesional anything having to do with sports. We're not overrated, we have 7 players that were on the team last year, 3 of which are injured. They are just finding their chemistry and working out the rust.

And Det.... how 'bout doing some research before talking about records? We're not 0-4.

This oughta be easy, if you don't know who Bill Laimbeer is, you're already handicapped in the conversation. Look him up...

Read what I said -- "Orlando is a couple minutes away from being 0-4(?)(remember the Knicks game-- comeback win?)... Read again, nice try.

Tracy McGrady
Juwan Howard
Drew Gooden
Gordan Giricek
Shammond Williams
Pat Garrity

The 6 players that Laimbeer was speaking of?

Tyronn Lue, maybe? The thing with Lue is he'd be either 3rd or 4th on the Pistons depth chart for point guards, yet he starts with the Magic.

I understand what Laim is saying after actually taking a hard look at the roster. This team is not good.

[MLKG]

Don't even bother with this guy.

He obviously doesn't know anything about basketball.

[The MAgiC]

That coming from you of all people is downright laughable....

And go ahead and call us bad all you want. I'm bringing this thread to the top if we get the opportunity to knock you out of the playoffs. Our starting point gaurd would be 4th string on your roster... lol. Your star player was our trash trade bait.

[TheHeff]

So you think your gonna make the playoffs? And you really don't know who Laimbeer is? That's either showing youth or showing how little you do know about basketball.

And you've been wanting him back ever since... be real not one single person in the NBA would rather have Grant Hill than Ben Wallace... ask Grant how's the weather down there? While you're at it, tell him that he saved our franchise and did us a favor by leaving...

Lue definately wouldn't play over Billups or Atkins. Playing over Lindsey Hunter is debateable. So, 4th string point guard is a fair assessment.

I think the real 'trash' turned out to be Hill.

And go ahead and call us bad all you want.Uhhh...your record is 1-3I'm bringing this thread to the top if we get the opportunity to knock you out of the playoffs.Why don't you bring it IF YOU DO knock us out, no one cares if you get the oppurtunity Our starting point gaurd would be 4th string on your roster... lol.Well he is not better then Billups or Atkins, maybe Hunter. If he is better the Hunter let's put him on the All-Star Team Your star player was our trash trade bait.Why would you insult your GM like that, you're supposed to forget about that and let US bring that up. Anyway you must be right, look at your team now.

[PistonFAN81]

I cannot beleive that we are still talking about G.Hill? I mean have we not already proved that this thing was all a joke. I mean you have to admitt it, Piston fan or Magic fan he was not what they had intended him to be. We need to forget about the whole thing and start to focus on how much better the pistons are....down 3-1....please....GO PISTONS GO!!!

[jvanbusk]

Bump.

Magic: 1-10

^^Nice Pic

This firing is suprising, maybe not now, but if I was told Doc Rivers would get fired at the beginning of the season I would've laughed at that pesron in their face. Some thought this team could finish as high as fourth in the East, including me, but injuries and their free agent pickups have not helped at all this year. Really unfortunate situation, well if you're an Orlando fan (the season, not the firing)...
