119-91, who has bad defense now? :mrgreen: Tmac came to play with 29 pts 12 assists 7 boards. Those comments by Tmac actually has gotten us passing the ball more. Where was Dunleavy tonight in the 2nd half? He touched the ball a couple of times and only took 1 shot. Why didn't they give him the ball more.
Wow, kind of leaves me stunned after this one. Game got real ugly, will this be the Magic's time to make a turn around?
They've been on the turnaround. Winning 5 of their last 7 since the losing streak. GS will bounce back. Troy Murphy let too many easy layups on defense, maybe you should sit him until he gets completely healthy.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Drew Gooden:</div><div class="quote_post">The warriors have no D so I wouldnt be suprised if tmac dropped 40. The Magic have no D either, so this will be a fun game to watch :mrgreen:</div>They are a much improved Defensive team, do some research before making silly comments like that.

The Warriors definately took a step backwards tonight losing to the Magic but then again, the Magic have proved that they are no push over team.
He didn't look very good. Every time he was in, we would give it to the big man he was guarding and they would take him to school. Zaza, Gooden, Howard, and even Declerq schooled Murphy. Hopefully he can become healthy and play like he did last season.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">They are a much improved Defensive team, do some research before making silly comments like that.</div> Yeah your defense is soooo much improved. You only gave up 119 points to one of the worst offensive teams in the league Think before you say silly comments like that
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">He may have come back prematurally. No way he should be getting schooled by inferrior Magic PF's.</div> Who is inferrior? Drew Gooden and Juwan Howard are better players than Murphy.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Drew Gooden:</div><div class="quote_post">Who is inferrior? Drew Gooden and Juwan Howard are better players than Murphy.</div>I guess its all a matter of opinion...we shall see.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Drew Gooden:</div><div class="quote_post">Who is inferrior? Drew Gooden and Juwan Howard are better players than Murphy.</div> You're kidding right? Maybe Juwan Howard when he was with Washington was a better player, but he and Drew Gooden are not in Murphy's league. I bet that they couldn't average a double-double in teh West.
Troy Murphy is good, but I believe Drew Gooden will be better in his prime then Murphy will be. Murphy is currently better though. Whatever you say Rudeezy , I guess one of our "inferior" PF's managed to get 25 pts and 13 boards against your "much improved" defense.

I'm glad I'm not the only one around here with common sense. All these Magic fans seem to be pretty cocky...where were they at during their 19 game losing streak? Oh yea, bitching and moaning about how much their team sucks. Make up your minds.
A guy just came off the injured list, and your going to judge him already totally forgetting what he did for the Warriors last year. . Troy Murphy was 6th in the league(or the West, I forgot) in double doubles last year. Murhpy is a stud, and will deliver big for the Warriors down the stretch. You can laugh at the Warriors, but nothing is more funny than being 6-21, and even with that only being 8 games out of the division. Warriors just played bad last night, they ran out of gas, they didn't rebound at all, had a bad shooting night. It happens, every team will stumble across a bad team and lose, nothing wrong with that. It just bothers me that when the Magic were getting beat every night, you guys had nothing to say, but negatives. But when they show signs of getting back on track, you fans all of the sudden get cocky. You guys swear like Murphy played the whole game by naming these stats, he only played 17 minutes.

Theres no way in hell Gooden and Howard are as good as Murphy. Gooden could possibly be debated but not Howard. Gooden played out of position in the west and put up decent numbers for a rookie. But now he's in the east, so things are different. Murphy was my pick for most improved, it seemed like he came from no where. Last season he put up a double double in the west, which isn't an easy thing to do unless your part of the elite group. They are both great players and have a bright future but I'd pick Murphy over Gooden any day. Sorry guys, maybe it's just me...
Ice Breaker- Not only are you not a cocky Magic fan, but you're the only one that has come in here with some common sense. You leave your biases at the door, I like that. Murphy proved last year that he will be a force in the West for many years to come. Gooden still hasn't proved that but he is starting to make a name for himself in the East. These two guys could be a great match-up in the years to come.
People sometimes don't realise how tough the west is.Last season Murphy got a double double matching up against players like Duncan,KG,Wallace,Brand,Randolph,Malone,Dirk,Webber..I could go on all day.And thats just the power forwards.So saying Howard and Gooden are better is quite a bold statement.They don't have to deal with those players 4 times a year.While needing to crash the boards and produce every night.
