OK thats the biggest joke ever - How much did we want to let them back in the game. As i write this there is about 15secs left but they have just made a 3pt play with a 5pt lead now (or 4 i turned it off in disgust) I am sorry but we cant give away a 11pt lead in the 1st half and complete domination to one of the worst teams in history - thats appaling. ARGH I am just so annoyed at this. What the hell, couldnt jent sort something out after that piss poor 3rd 1/4?
Everyone got off to a hot start(Dwight 7/10 and Hill 8/11 combined for 39 points in the 1st) Dwight got into foul trouble, which got them back into the game. They combined for 7 2nd half points. That's what happens when you get hot from the start, you don't want halftime to come, because it can cool you off. Oh well, we were without our best player and our lineup is really bad right now without either Jameer or Stevenson on the bench to back up. Hill and Turkoglu had to back up PG/SG/SF. It's tough for a team to win 2 games against a team, so I predicted a split in this 2 game series. Just wait until tomorrows game.
Why is Jent playing Stevenson more than Turkoglu? This was a costly loss for the Magic, it drops them out of a tie for the 8th seed, and one step closer to being passed up by the Nets.

The game should be reviewed by the NBA there was no intential foul for Turk and the refs were deff. on there side. Brevin Knight was moving on an "offensive foul" call for Dwight, then Kato does the same and they call it blocking. A jump ball between Nelson and Hart he got all arm and tossed him to the ground. The women ref is the worst she calls very bad calls i seen her during a Heat game and during a Spurs game call every bad call good thing Joe Crawford isnt there or every1 talking to her about her bad calls would be kicked out. 16 point lead and lose we got tired late and let them take over they pulled a Muhammad Ali on us.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting _BN_:</div><div class="quote_post">Keep in mind, Bobcats had the refs and the NBA on their side...</div> not really understand, mind to explain to me? thanks. hehe.
Well it looks like we will get swept by the Bobcats tonight. With Francis and Turkoglu out, our bench will be weak as hell. (Garrity might be out as well, with his wife). We only have 1 backup PG/SG/SF and that's Augmon, so Jameer, Hill, and Stevenson iwll have to play major minutes. (40 each) So we have to be up by a lot early to have a chance to stay in the game, since we will be exhausted at the end of games.
@Gator According to Weisbrod, Mark James will be in uniform against the bobcats (I think its on Thursday, not today) so we've a bit more depth on those positions, hopefully we won't lose again. And bye the way, we won one, so at least we don't get swept, still pretty sad to lose twice against them...
I meant get swept this little series thing, 0-2 in the home and home. James will be playing, so they won't get as many mins, but still will get a lot.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Devilz:</div><div class="quote_post">not really understand, mind to explain to me? thanks. hehe. </div> Ah, you must not know of the conspiracy... Basically the refs and the media (like ESPN) united to **** up the Magic and their rookies... Their wicked leader, David Stern, is working his evil plan to take over the world and send the Magic to Kansas... Yup, its all true...
