I don't know but, Howard saying he liked the Celtics (a team according to reports he never liked) after being blown out by 30 points

maybe sent the wrong message to the rest of the team.

Why can't the Magic buy into SVG's gameplan for one full game? Since we've gone away from it, we've lost so many games

Though I wouldn’t mind SVG buying into some of the players (like Wafer) a little more also.

True. But I mean you could look at the 4th quarter and you wouldn't think SVG coached this team

You have guys going for steals instead of staying in front of their man, no PnR defense, and for 3/4 of the quarter there wasn’t ball movement. It’s crazy

Idk why they would. He's been great as a coach and he's always had their back.

He might call someone out for not having enough energy, but he takes blame for a lot of things. Without him, player’s confidence levels would be down the drain imo

How are they going to get out of this hole?

It’s the same people that were playing well 2 weeks ago, but their heads are not there anymore. If they can figure it out, they can go back to playing like they were. If not, it’s time to trade and start firing people.

I understand and have no idea how they get out...

I’m just not ready to say blow it up just yet – if only because there isn’t much to blow it up for. I mean, aside from trading Dwight (which is devastating, but not the same as “blowing up” in my mind), what options do you really have to clear the slate?

but wth hell happened to the magic? they had a really good start and i thought they might be competing for a title in the shortened season. now they’re getting blown out by the hornets? did somebody get hurt or have their production fall off dramatically? google isnt really helping me.

Dwight

Is a huge distraction. I think everyone is sick of him saying he’d like to play with a new team every week.

by mblally on Jan 30, 2012 3:11 PM EST up reply actions   2 recs

couple things

Nelson (not that he’s been solid by any means this year) is injured, Hedo hasn’t been normal since he hurt his back several games ago and Anderson is a little banged up. Then like mblally said, I think the team has grown tired of Howard wanting out and then complaining that his team mates aren’t playing hard and being a team. It’s kind of telling that the team has actually been playing better ball when Howard has been on the bench.

Please leave a message, I'm busy hiding my cat from TGS.

by malenko on Jan 30, 2012 3:52 PM EST up reply actions  

You also forgot...

Anderson isn’t just banged up but has missed games. JRich has also missed games and been injured.

The Magic are also in the throes of a brutal section of the schedule. After their back-to-back-back they played 7 games in 10 days (with travel before all but 1) and are starting another section of 5 games in 7 days with travel before 4 of them.

These are excuses as all teams will have things like this, but it is definitely all happening at once for the Magic right now.
