I'm right here. Sorry I don't check your forum every 2 minutes. Congrats, you won the series. Have fun the rest of the way.

By the way, I think Bianchi is a joke.

I have no idea why you completely ignored the rest of his post. Did Crawford put up huge numbers on ridiculous shooting? Yes. Did the Magic shoot terribly? Yes. Was it the smothering Hawks defense that made them miss so many? "Yes!!!1" Does one of the most pessimistic coaches in the NBA agree with you? Nope. I'll swallow my words if the Hawks win tonight.

lol the Magic aren't going to get beat by 15 points. They worst loss they had after their trades were by 13 points to the Lakers on a back to back. Pretty much ANY loss for them has been a close one. Now I'm just wondering if the Magic are going to come out with the same energy they did in game 5.

good luck to y'all, should be a good one.

Well I downloaded the game, looked into it and I don't know what they're talking about. All I saw was Zaza shouting WHAT a couple of times.

bit slow?

Because you use all your bigs for fouls Dwight's been getting the ball more and therefore shooting more FT's You had to intentionally foul at the end of game 2. Ok, I'm seriously confused. Was it you coming into our forum and talking s*** about our players or was it us? Also it's my nature as a true Magic fan to come to this forum and defend whatever blah blah. Yeah sounds like bullsh*t doesn't it?

And what you did was very, very mature. Ok let's start a debate. I'm enjoying this "rivalry" but gosh this Hawks team is terrible isn't it? Two all stars and still such a horrible team. I think the Magic are so much better and it's not even close. Amirite?

I'm sure you'd also like to have a nice, long debate when the guy's first post is saying how s*** all of your players are. Funny. You say that you are more critical of your team even though I have not seen one person say anything about this team's BIG weaknesses. I'm talking about things like: Your offense is basically contested iso jumpshots. Game 1 was won because of incredible shooting by the Hawks. Just because you shot bad FG%'s in game 2, doesn't mean you had an off night. With this offense, it is only a sample of what your %'s will consist of, especially against a good defensive team like the magic who made some good adjustments. The fact that in game 2, you had three lucky last second heaves, a horribly random tip in and you still lost to a team who was unable to hit OPEN jumpshots caused by slump. See? Now THAT'S being critical. Please imagine those things being said by a Hawks fan because I know you'll just want to brush off the things I have just said because "I'm a magic fan and I have no idea what I'm talking about". In the magic forum, we haven't got many things to be critical about. When we were panicking after game 1, we had a thread to find out why the Magic was doing poorly and why they lost. We resolved the issues, calmed down and realised that we haven't got much to worry about. It was proved in game 2 that the Hawks CAN'T shoot lights out every day (even though it looked like it was going to continue in the first quarter), and that the magic CAN win even being on the slump that they are on. Of course what I wrote is just useless. Being the "critical" fans that you are you will ignore what I have stated and probably call me a troll.

Wow are you really THAT stupid? Hawk fans goes onto a magic forum, troll, and you speak badly about the magic community? Just wow.

I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt that Stern wants the Magic to get any advantage after Van Gundy said this: huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/08/stan-van-gundy-david-stern-free-speech_n_832723.html Watch the video, it gets good at the end.

Come on guys, predictions? I say magic wins 108-51. Problem?

Fun series so far, can't wait to argue some more the next game :P

Everytime I make a great point, you just start talking about something different, but fine. It's twice now that the Magic has pounded the Hawks on the boards. Rebounding is a consistant part of playoff basketball and the magic has always been a good rebounding team. The free throws are always going to be called no matter if you think they are not real fouls because Howard averaged 12~ FT attempts per game and all our bigs are doing is fouling him as soon as he gets to the basket. By the way why is everybody forgetting the horribly lucky shots we made? The three 3 pointers that came WAY beyond the line and some random tip in adds up to 11 points. You're making all these excuses about how blah blah blah next time this will happen blah blah. Ok ok I'm gonna stop talking as if I'm a hawks fan :)
