I hope the Magic win this game, but if they dont i wont be mad...

It's not like we have a chance at the playoffs anyway so a good draft position is the only thing Magic fans have to look forward to right now

lw32 · 03-09-2006, 11:11 PM

I hope the Magic lose this game. It's Cleveland's bad run of late, vs. our terrible run. Hey, the more we lose the closer we get to selecting Morrison or Gay. Neither are definite saviors, but finishing 8th worst will do us little good. Aldridge will probably be gone, top 2. Chicago, Atlanta and Portland could all use a big man more than a swingman. Charlotte will probably select Gay or Morrison. Which could possibly leave us with the other one. We just need to make sure we get a top 4 pick.

I think JJ would do our team some good.

We definitely need to keep Arroyo around. Nelson is a better player but he is going to be very valuable for home games. He really gets the crowd into the game. He is playing great tonight. He just fed Bo Outlaw for a throwdown on Varejao. Bo Outlaw is playing pretty well.

And Darko is playing well ... he's got a couple blocks/deflections and has hit a couple of shots.

**JNice** · 03-10-2006, 05:53 PM

Darko with 8 pts in 2nd qtr. Orlando's bench is killing Cleveland. The bench lineup is playing absolutely fantastic basketball.

Man, it is kind of crazy to see Orlando with some real players on the bench.

dominikan_balla1 · 03-10-2006, 05:58 PM

wow darko's playing really well.. getting in a lil'foul trouble thought

**JNice** · 03-10-2006, 05:58 PM

..

Darko gets his 10th pt in the qtr but then picks up a BS 3rd foul.

one would like to think that darko will have a signature game that people can point to, hopefully tonight is the night, dont want to see him go the bench for any long stretches, ride that hot hand.

Well the 3rd foul took him out until the 2nd half ... he was really confident offensively tonight. No hesitation taking 20 footers and draining them. And a couple real nice post moves. He had another dribble drive where he just misses a righthand layup.

NBA.com has him with 1 block too ... I'm not sure that is right but it never seems it is. I thought he had at least 2 with a possibility of 4. But if not 4 then he at least caused 4 or 5 misses on his own.

I'd like to see him get 20 tonight. Maybe get some people to shutup.

Dwight needs to pick it up a bit. Pretty soon people are going to be saying Darko is a better player ...

I don't know why Brian Hill seemingly refuses to put the two of them on the court together. Why not start developing that combo now?

Anyway, great first half for Orlando. They dominated the 2nd qtr, mostly the bench. The lineup of Arroyo, Dooling, Hedo/Augmon, Bo, and Darko played extremely well.

he was doing good staying out of foul trouble. unlike european ball where they allow guys to put their hands on their opponents when they have the ball the nba refs seem to be just the opposite. big men need to push guys out of their comfort zone until they get the ball and then just move their feet, he doesnt need me to tell him how to play d, unfortunate because he could have been going for big numbers tonight, may still.
