I find it hard to believe half of you don't get banned for derailing a thread and acting like grade schoolers.

You and the others = "WAHHHH!! HE IS RIGHT AND I CAN'T STAND IT MOMMY!!!! WAHHH!!!!"

And the text reads, "mine has." If you solely want to "discuss" how well a team is doing, then simply state that "the Magic has now beaten three of the top teams in the league, maybe they can go far this year." We don't, as NBA fans, need some kid rubbing anything in our face.

Let's use an analogy to illustrate how this thread sounds. Imagine you're walking on the street, and a rich guy in a suit came up to you and asked if you have a million dollars. He follows it up by saying, "Well, I do!" Would your first reaction be to congratulate him on his wealth or would you think he's a douchebag for flaunting his fortune?

My first thought be 'what's best way to rob this guy?'

If you're not satisfied with something, don't just sit around and complain about it, change it to what you want. Respond to my game-relevant comment about Pierce vs. Garnett or something.

Posey, Scalabrine and Powe today vs the Magic - 26 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist

Also have fun being banned for name calling.

Yes, KG's defense and ability to facilitate the offense for others has nothing to do with team success.

And if I get banned for calling you out on the fact that you thought KG is more important to the Celtics than Brian Scalabrine, I'm totally fine with that.

I already posted Howard's stats vs the Celtics this year. It doesn't matter if KG is in the game or not. He and the Celtics get punished by Howard in the post. 3 games and counting.

Not everyone dabbles on the other side of the law, Duck.
I'm not complaining about anything. I'm just pointing out the fact that the OP's intentions were not strictly to "discuss" Orlando's recent play.

I just might take it on myself to start a thread if the Magic lose in the playoffs. The title will be, "Has your team lost to [insert team name] in the playoffs this year?" The text will read, "Mine hasn't!"

Oh, and since you're so good at reading, the title of your thread should be, "Has your team BEATEN..." Present perfect tense dictates the use of the past participle, not the past tense of a verb.

If you can honestly sit there and tell me that the Celtics are no better off against the Magic with Brian Scalabrine starting than with KG starting, then I'm done in this thread.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. I'm not surprised considering you made that stupid thread about the Magic's downfall back in December, LOL!!!

Also here - http://www.rif.org/

You talk as if I didn't say anything about the Magic in this thread, yet the first 2 pages prove you wrong. Nearly half way down the 2nd page is where the trolling begins and it is the usual suspects, aka you and a few other of the losers that dwell in here, getting mad when some one talks about the Magic doing good.

Regardless of the lack of tact in the thread it was a good win for Orlando at home where they haven't always taken care of business.

A very back and forth streaky game. Nice to see Hedo step up and go head to head with a star caliber player like Pierce.

I thought the refs were calling too many ticky-tack fouls on both sides.

Don't make excuses for Pierce and Ray-Ray. I'm sure they won't be making any for themselves. They still have enough to beat any team on any given night without KG.
