Ah, who am I kidding. I fell asleep about 4 times during this game. This was a horrible display of effort. In fact, the equivalent of none. Stephen Hunter did pull down 9 boards and block 3 shots, but the game was a wash. Any player on the Magic bench could have put up those numbers in 28 minutes in this game. I will say it again, I am amazed that Keith Bogans @ESPN" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3746" target="_blank">Keith Bogans continues to have limited minutes and the Big 'Z' is spending the entire game on the bench with a few minutes in garbage time.
Announce Jack Givens said it best last night, “Knock someone down, not to hurt them - but to make them think twice.” I have said this for a long time. It seems that every player that comes into Orlando becomes a pansy and is scared to use their fouls. Hunter gets 4-5 fouls per game - but not a damn person hits the floor. Did anyone else see Bobby Jackson dribble down the court, do a 180 while pushing off and knock down to of our players? Was it a foul? Maybe, maybe not. But, he will not get called for that because our team is soft and Sacramento is not. We need players with some backbone - or the ones we have to start playng with one.

Well, I'll say it again, the Magic have only one or two players with the physical stature to stay in the 'paint' and knock anyone down; and it damm sure isn't the whining T-Man! They need two players, the likes of Bill Lambier or Dennis Rodman who can get in the other team's heads, and who also have the ability to 'penalize' opponents daring to monopolize the 'paint'!
That game is all a blur for me...I don't know what are we gonna do but they better do it fast....like this monday!!
