    I'm not happy with Sam starting Bargs instead of Rasho, because you're just hanging him out to dry against Dwight. But if he can hit his shots, it could work out.

    Toronto's playing good. I think the Magic need to gain some confidence, they seem nervous and off.

    They look like us in Game 1. The shots aren't falling and they're not emphasizing Dwight enough.

    You still got your coach though. Sam would've waited until the deficit was 15-20 before calling the timeout.

    I can't even deny that the Nets pwned us badly with their red jerseys.

    Gotta keep up the defensive intensity. We played damn good in Bosh's absence, extending the lead, but the Magic won't be shooting bricks all game long.

    That wasn't a foul on Dwight, but I'll take it. Hopefully it gets Bosh going.

    Nah, you're not being a homer. I've noticed some weak calls against Orlando too. Not enough to excuse their sputtering offense, but the Raps have been bailed out at times.

    Orlando is playing horrible but seriously, that Rashard block was clean, the no call on the second to last play with Hedo, the TJ Ford call. It's ridiculous.

    Wow, what a game so far. The Raptors are really taking it to Orlando. There has been some bad no calls, but whatever it has been like this the entire series. I really hope the Raptors can continue to take it to the Magic.

    Also, Arroyo is officially TJ Ford's bitch.

    Arroyo is everyone's bitch. I hate him and so does every other non-Hispanic Magic fan.

    The only reason he hasn't been moved is because he brings a lot of Orlando's Hispanic population to Magic games.

    WOW-O-WOW what a first half....man this game is soo much more better with the home crowd getting into it. I loved how aggressive TJ Ford is playing today and it is so much better for Bosh that everyone else is stepping it up. Andrea is playing pretty decent defense against Dwight but he is still getting alot of putbacks without anyone putting a body on him but since the 1st quarter we did a better job at that.

    TJ TJ TJ TJ!!!!
    MOOOOOON!!!
    JOOSSEE JOSE JOSE JOSEEE JOSSEEE!

    Can you tell im pumped?

    Aside from the Game 1, we've had shitty referees this entire series. Friggin' NBA...
