Orlando's players believe they can win

This just in: Orlando is down 3-1. "Crybaby" Rasheed Wallace and the rest of the bigs have shut down your superhero. Jameer wants to be Sheed, what with the guarantees and all. Just face it- this rivalry isn't much of one just yet. Your time will come, soon; but for now, at least show some class while you guys get beat. Van Gundy's been doing more crying than that ridiculous Rasheed thing the idiots running this thing put up; and the picture of the sign from Game 4 is completely classless. I don't know about the people in Orlando, but the people running this website sure have no class.
This has been a fun, entertaining series thus far; let's try to keep it that way, shall we?

Instead of practicing 3's with Gortat, he should be shooting foul shots with Redick.

The major problem with your position is if we did that, we would have to go through the learning process all over again. Most NBA teams wish they could be 3 deep at the PG position. Being a PG is not a matter of sticking a new body out there. It takes years to integrate one into a system. NJ and Dallas did a PG switch and both became poorer teams. It is not something you do quickly. You also fail to see the improvement Jameer, Carlos, and Dooling have made over last year. I have noticed that most of the real negative posts about Jameer come from those who want to see Carlos play more. I use the same argument against him I use against the JJ crowd. If he had earned the playing time, he would be playing. Both Evans and now Gortat are playing because they earned their roles and have taken minutes away from those that havent earned them. Carlos has been with several NBA teams and its the same story, he is a solid backup but thats all he is. If he leaves and goes to another team that is what he will be, a backup and then you can cuss out that coach too. It wont change.

Bob tends to forget the number of articles over this year saying how great JJ was doing and that he needed minutes and that they needed to get him those minutes...this was also the case with Otis.
They went with the backups like Evans & Bogans who will also (only ever be backups.)
At practices JJ showed over and over again he was the better player and at least deserved a shot with this team...he was also told over and over that the coaches agreed with that.
I said when Otis made the Cook-Evans trade JJ was doomed with this team. The sooner the Magic lose the sooner he can go play golf... and await his trade.
He doesnt need to be playing for misleading, tell him one thing and do the other bunch of liars!
Maybe it's just that prevalent in the league, at LEAST they could have let him have a chance instead of beating him down.
Good bye Magic...Hey? Didn't Billups use to sit at the end of the Magic bench?

Pistons fans talking about class is rich. If you were at game 4 in Orlando and watched the way the transplant Detroit fans heckled the Magic fans after the game it would give you a much better idea of the nature of the Piston fans. I can see how you would still like your old team but how about showing some "class". A Magic fan would have to be insane to pull that crap in Detroit.

Wow. You guys are going to be sad when the Pistons put another whooping on you. Maybe you guys should get a baseball team or a soccer team or something. At least you clean up good with all that AMWAY garbage available.
