"This team plays too cool, we need to get some attack dog in us." - Steven Hunter
Really? This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever heard. Since when did Hunter do anything to deserve media attention for commenting on how the team is performing. Buddy, when you pull down more than 5 rebounds in a game in under 20 minutes - then you can have your quotes.
“There's no way this team should beat us" - Steven Hunter referring to the Chicago Bulls.
Hey Steven - they beat the Lakers, twice I believe.
"It can't get any worse, it really can't." - Tracy McGrady
Wanna bet on that? If a trade or Doc's removal does not happen soon (or we sign Dennis Rodman) - this team is in serious trouble.
"I don't know too much about zones because I didn't go to college" - Tracy McGrady
Well, I went to college - but I have not finished yet. I did not learn about zones from there either - but I did learn by watching basketball. You beat a zone by penetrating and dishing to the open man on the perimeter. And in the Magic's case - pray Garrity is back and knocks down the open shot.

Couldn't have said it better myself - I would also add another piece to the equation in that Orlando Magic fans are just a bit more lackadaisical than in other markets; and of course that's part of the reason you will see this saga continued by the 'uninspired' Rich Devos and his franchise upper management - at least for now! It's a little like politicians who count on their career longevity by the 'non-involvement' of the electorate! Analogy - what do the fans do when the non-producer's dominate? - why, they simply vacate the arena by midway through the fourth quarter, instead of voicing their opinions and supporting those demands with their only weapon – their wallets!
It got worse, 4 points and a blowout at home. The good thing is, it can't rain all of the time.
