    Stan has done more in his 5 years coaching then Spooge could hope to ever acheave. Yeah he took the 2nd worst team in the NBA in his first year to the Playoffs....well Wade was the main factor.

    Its all over.

    LA should cap it off tomorrow night.

    If not, its not like Orlando is going to be going into LA in Game 6 & 7 and winning those two. Not a chance.

    There is a chance. Its not going to happen, but the Magic are a good team and they have the potential to beat the Lakers. I'm not going to harp on the SVG thing but....I wonder how this team would play under Phil Jackson or Riley, or even Daly(RIP). I do think they take the next game at home though and stretch it to a game 6.

    really?

    "Wade will probably end his career by then".

    Come on. that is like me saying that Howard will be suspended by then because of steroids.


    As for talent. Funny thing the NBA. they have this thing called cap space.

    We will be more talented than the Magic in 2010. The Magic will be deconstructing and rebuilding...by trying to get Rashard's ridiculous contract off the books in 2010.

    those are not opinion. those are just facts. numbers are numbers.

    as for "coaching"...our staff is much better than yours and to be honest..we can have a guy off the street coach and he would be better than SVG.

    Den54. Stan Van Gundy is a terrible basketball coach. we told you so when we fired him and then you guys hired him a year later. We are telling you now.

    You will see it my way when he is fired sometime next year.

    a terrible coach. it is not like I am not backing it up. I am giving you example after example.

    the "heat hate" stuff is just jealousy. I will just ignore that. that 1-12 and .69 cents will buy you a cup of bad coffee. come on Den...you sound like a Jet fan with that line.

    hey..at least you have next year to do it before we close the door.

    Section you can sling all the crap against the wall that you like and call it facts but we all here know you all too well and get a good chuckle out of it.
    So continue on but when your team can beat or out coach ours on anything that resembles a consistent basis....get back with me.

    Until then...go :death:

    Nice...wish death on me.

    I guess you missed the part where my team has a championship and yours doesn't. I can play that game better Den54. I got the ring on my side.

    2010 is gonna be a pretty tough year for Magic fans.

    But no worry. All you have to do is make sure Howard stays and then you dump Rashard's contract by 2012 and you then are back to contending.

    But 2010 is gonna be tough for ya.

    so do you win it in your last chance next year?

    all of what I said are facts. cap space is cap space..it isn't made up hocus pocus. You guys are paying Rashard lewis what we are gonna pay Dwyane Wade and possibly Chris Bosh. That is just not good. Maybe with a new coach, Rashard Lewis will be better utilized.

    Once again section quit living in the past.
    You've been singing Howard is gonna leave garbage for sometime. Rmember before he signed his extention you were chirping how the heat would lure him away. Another pipe dream on your part.

    Another one of your "next year is gonna be our year" drivel
    It never gets old.:lol:

    Can't wait till next year where hopefully the heat will make it back to the playoffs where the Magic will continue its dominace over them:up:

    'next year" "drivel"?

    what are you talking about Den?

    Remember I am the guy that started a thread titled "The March to the Finals" and predicted the Heat would win the championship 4 games to 2 over Dallas 8 months before it happened.

    How did that season end? LOL

    I have been saying for a while that 2010 is our year..that is the year we have the cap space.

    as for Howard signing the extension...his loss...he could have had a MAX deal worth more with us in 2010 if he played his cards right. and he WOULD win a championship here.

    But hey...our loss...we can make another run at him when he has his offensive game together.

    but by then it could be overkill because we could be on our 3rd championship.

    Don't hate us because we are managed so well.

    Look on the bright side...heat fans don't call your team the "tragic" anymore.

    Dude, I'm sorry. But you are so hard headed.

    Dwight doesn't have a history of taking steroids. D wade, on the other hand, has a history of injuries. I can blow on his shoulder, and it'll snap.

    What makes you so sure that you guys will have more talent than us in 2010. What, are you gonna sign 4 other all stars? Tell me, who is this great player you guys are going to sign?

    Yea, I'm sure you can find a guy off the street to take you to the finals.

    Section, Why do you think you can look into the future?

    Oh, 2010 is our year. Oh, we're gonna sign this guy. Oh, SVG will be fired next year. Oh, we're gonna win two more rings by then. Oh, we're gonna sign Dwight Howard in 5 years. Oh, the magics are gonna suck in 2010.

    Well, I'm here to tell you this. Right now, we are a championship team. Right now, we have a great team that's going to compete for the next 5 years. How do I know this, because we're doing it right now.

    You on the other hand, you're waiting to sign X player. By then, Howard hits his prime. Courtney Lee hits his prime. We will have Nelson, Lewis, Pietrus, and maybe Hedo Turkoglu. Continue thinking that you're going to sign every free agent available. We'll be here in reality winning.

    In an effort to try and get this thread back on topic, I predict a win for Orlando tomorrow. We have to take it one game at a time. We have to execute better and make our free throws.

    Dwight's already got his bags packed for L.A. All we can do is hope for a win at a time. The team is motivated to win Sunday night, so we should be too. Jesus, I'd love to see us be the first team to win a title after being down 3-1 in the last 29 tries of accomplishing that in the series, but I'd still be glad to see us win the last one at home, and then take it from there. Come on Magic!!

    If we do win 3 in a row, I think I would run all the way down to Orlando from Philadelphia screaming. That would be an amazing accomplishment.

    Sigh.

    People that push the myth of Wade being injury prone obviously do not know the history.

    anyway....SIGH again. It is just fact Penn. What do you want me to do? change reality?

    Your cap situation will suck for the next 3 years while ours will be the BEST in 2010. You have Rashard Lewis signed to an albatross of a contract and if you resign Hedo..your flexibility will be gone.

    We sign ONE max player in 2010...which we will do....and we will be a more talented team. We have a pretty young and talented team. When we add a max player to that mix...it is over.

    If you want...believe that the Magic will be great for the next 50 years.....I will deal with reality.

    SIGH again.

    Our team will be better than yours even if you do keep all those players. Don;t blame me. Blame whoever thought it was a good idea to give Rashard lewis that ridiculous contract.

    and you are talking as if I am talking about 400 years from now. 2010 is ONE SEASON away.

    I will gladly take one more year of being the 4th or 5th seed...to then kick the rest of the EC to the curb.

    I already did.

    I have them straight up at -160 tonight and I bought them against the spread (-3) for a healthy amount.

    I also bought the O/U. I bought OVER on 198.

    heading out to the lake for a little camping, since broadcasting went digital friday i hope my antenna in the trailer will pick up the signal. wouldn't be the worst thing to happen if i can't get the game. i think the magic take game 5, the Lakers get pumped in front of their fans. i think they close this dream tuesday.

    I believe 2 of the Shaq titles came on the road, maybe they want to win another at home. I think they just want to close it out, and will do so tonight unfortunately. I hope you're right and win lots of money, though lol.

    When asked if its a better feeling to hit a winning/clinching shot at home, Dwayne Wade said its more satifying to win it on the road. So I dont think they care, as long as they win.

    Chris Bosh, hell he's dying to get out of cold *** Toronto and he's already got a house down here.
    Its been rumored for years, but unlike the ******ed fantasy Bulls fans have of Wade going to Chicago this one is a lot more realistic.




    as awesome as that would be, its a pipe dream the Magic had their chance and blew it.

    I've got faith in your good luck and the Magic too. We can make it happen in the 2nd half. We've been behind this much before and came back to win the game. Cleveland series is a good example.:up:
