I am watching the Magic vs. Bulls game and right now in the 1st qtr. the score is 37- 22. The Magic like to run the ball similar to the Bucks. Only, what concidence, they are turnover prone. Hmmmm, what a suprise. They can score, there is no doubt about that...but put a little pressure on them, and they turn the ball over. They also give a up a lot of points along with scoring a lot of points.
Coach Johnny Davis just cannot coach. Silly turnovers. This Bulls team is coming together but there is still the second half. They always fold in the second half.
True, True, There is a whole lot of basketball to be played. BTW, I like the way Chandler and Curry play. Curry has a nice little turnaround and Tyson is a awesome rebounder. We could use one of those guys.
This upsets me because the better he plays the more expensive to acquire he becomes. I here Chicago is NOT even interested in shipping him out unless you are talking about REAL talent in return. They will gladly give away Curry first before him. Tyson is just filled with so much energy and fun. Gosh I love that kid's game.
Sounds like the old Rockets. an Orlando fan in REALGM wrote : " Most undiciplined back court in the NBA = Cuttino Mobley and Steve Francis. They show up when ever they want, they do what ever the hell they want in the offensive end. The play defense when we play great teams other than that they could care less and they are always winning and crying the ass off to the refs. "
The Magic are getting killed out there. Only 2 months into the season and the Magic message boards are coming up with similar complaints that we had with last years team.
I wish you would posts some links since you always use random Real GM message board posts. You know, it would be nice to see the context and to read other posts.

Wow, I wish we still had THIS Kelvin Cato. Nahhh...on a seond thought, I saw him lose the ball under the basket too many times over the years. Some random thoughts on this game: Dwight Howard is exactly like a stronger Tyson Chandler--athletic freak + great rebounder + very little offensive skills (Houston could certainly use a guy like this right now). An motivated Eddy Curry can be a handful for any team in this league. Steve got OWNED by Kirk Hinrich. Grant Hill is still a very good player.
We warned Orlando fans. I love Francis and Mobley and defended them for years, but it became apparent during their last days in Houston that they were just to undisciplined to push us to the next level. They might be able to make a nice run in the East though. I really like the Rockets deal more and more simply because I think that Wesley could be a surprise quality pick up for us. Other notes, it's great to see Grant Hill back and playing like the Grant of old. Great for the league and great for him, always fun to have him playing well. He should make the All-Star game, he was always one of the leading vote getters anyway. And Dwight Howard is a stud and a half! I would LOVE to have had him in the Rockets frontcourt. Him and Yao would be unstoppable down the road! The Magic have hit a rough patch, but I think both teams will make the playoffs, no doubt.
I watched the first half of this game and I will admit, it was atrocious. And all you guys who think Grant Hill is playing so well, believe me, he isn't helping. Its like that whole team has hit the wall at the same time. But they can't play much worse than they did against the Bulls. The Bulls btw are looking like they are finally reaping some benefits of having all those athletes on the floor.
It is no coincidence to me that the team has struggled ever since Grant Hill hit some kind of wall some 10 games or so ago. Maybe it is just fatigue from the long layoff or it could an injury he is trying to play through. I truly believe Grant to a large extent and Howard to a smaller extent are the biggest keys to thier success this season. Grant especially has to start playing like the Grant of the first week of this seaon especially in the next 2 games otherwise they could find themselves at 15-15 by Wednesday night.
