MAGIC WIN! MAGIC WIN!
How many times has luck gone the other way this season? The Magic played really hard all game long. When a team plays hard, they often are in control of their luck. The Magic played aggressively and forced the officials to make the calls. The last minute steal by Tracy McGrady was brillant - and DeShawn Stevenson was clearly fouled - but no matter, Juwan Howard scores and one! Last play of the game, Rasheed Wallace misses a three and claims to have been fouled. How many times have we seen McGrady knocked to the floor and not get the call? That was hardly a foul.
I like the three new players we have on the team. They are not big names, and may not be here next year - but they are rough players who are playing for a spot.
Great game! Hollar if you hear me!

I just wanted to post a comment i was thinking about Hunter. I feel that the only problem that he has is his shirt and he needs to get bigger. If you look at him each year, you would see that he got a lot bigger from when he was a rookie. Just a little bit bigger would help. He has good defence, it might not be the bedt but I was put Hunter over Zaza. Both have good games but then have a bad game. They're off and on. The Magic could work with Zaza and Hunter and make them a LITTLE bit close to superstars and I think thats what the Magic are doing. But they shouldn't turn down a decent trade.
Personally I think that my brother could had done better but it's better than not getting in the game at all. I think Zaza and Hunter is about at the same level. But my brother should keep starting and Zaza would do good for back up. But like I said both play about at the same level. And to tell the truth, that's what I hate about my brother. He always be the only one with his shirt not tucked in. But every since highschool, his shirt always came out. So i got used to it until now that he is playing pro. But anyways until the Magic get better centers, Hunter and Zaza are doing their best, i guess. Something else. I was jumping out of my chair when i seen the Magic win. If it wasn't for T-mac and Howard, we wouldn't have won. I swear, the Pistons thought they had the Magic, no lie I thought they did too, because they were winning by 13!! But thats just how we roll. And I'm thinking that maybe we will have a good game against Blazers. I'm not a fan of them so I wouldn't know if they had a real good team or not, all I know is that they are 26 and 28. Not counting today's game
Hey magic fan. I just wanted to say that all though the magic stink, my Pistons shouldn't have lost that game. But I will give the magic some props. They played a good game and deserved too win. P.S.-One more thing, I think Mcrady is sometimes a big baby and he needs to shut his mouth.
so is Rasheed Wallace - clearly, no foul. McGrady has been hit harder at the end of games (like the three where he was knocked down) and not gotten the call. They all whine at some point. No bad mouthing on an all-out gut and effort win.
Hey tj i never said that u guys didn't play good. You guys deserved to win. But i am saying that mcrady is usally a big baby. And Rasheed may be a baby too,but at least his teams are always good. And by the way,what team came back from a 3-1 hole too beat the magic last year? p.s. great site even though i am not a magic fan
And then they get swept by the Nets? Rasheeds' teams are not "always good" - he has never had a team. He has played on a couple good teams but never had a team. There is a difference when you play on a good team and have to carry one on your back.
Exactly, mcrady carries his team on his back because he a ballhog and a selfish player. Another reason he carries them on his back is because the front office is horrible. The front office changes coaches more then they change dirty socks
Ball hog? That's why he is leading the team in assists? He is also one of the very few players to even be close to averaging more than 20 points and withing 6 rebounds and 6 assists. I believe him and Kobe were there last year as well. This year, I believe Lebron is the only one close to the same numbers. He is forced to carry the team, because like most athletes - losing is not an option. With Grant Hill out, McGrady was forced to take on a much larger role for the team.
I agree with dan pulik. T-mac is a big baby. Did u see him kick the ball into the stands? What a little girl. He is just mad because his team sticks and he knows that if he stays in Olando he will never win a championship!
TJ, sorry to see all these haters end up on your site. Mcgrady is a little bit of a ball hog, but I would like to see t-mac take every shot sometimes. He leads in assists mainly because we have crap point guards. Hill needs to come back, so he can bring his 9 assists a game and 18 points and 8 rebounds. This team is going nowhere without Hill, even if we get Okafor. We missed the playoffs in SHAQ's first year here, and the same could happen with Okafor. But with Hill, I guarantee we go all the way to the finals. If Rasheed stays in Detroit, he will never win a championship either. They have no offense, which is why they only scored 86 points against the WORST defensive team in the league. Why did they get swept by the NETs and almost lose to the 8th seed? They clearly need to get much better if they ever want a shot at the championship.
