So really , what has happen to Orlando? can anyone tell me WTF is up TURKALOU ???

[onlooker]

They aren't hitting their 3's. They live and die by that.

[bretb27]

that trade killed them... arenas and turk suck. jrich slaps like a girl. whole team is a joke (other than dwight)

[Avenger]

Where do I start? It begins and ends with Howard, they're nothing without him. It's so easy to fix a game against Magic, just foul out Howard.

Still think they'll win the series, but it's not looking good.

[Git Lo]

The havent been able to hit the 3. They are coming in the playoffs as the best 3 pt makes shooting team and they just haven't gotten it wet, not only that they have been locking up Howard pretty nice. If Magic can start draining the 3 ball again they would blow this team out like last year.

[JNic]

3s have gotta drop, i hope ATL pulls this series out

[GTS925]

Hibachi.

[Speedy88]

They just aren't very good. They are like Cleveland last year. They got a great player, and the rest of the team sucks. Turkoglu is an old man who throws up nothing but bricks, J Rich's best days are behind him, and Arenas doesn't fit on this team. The only half way decent player on the Magic other than Howard is Jameer.

Dwight Howard needs to leave Orlando, now! You put him on any other team in the NBA (with an exception to a few teams: Cleveland, Toronto, etc.) and they should be able to beat the Hawks in a 7 game series .

[MoneylineExpress]

Turkoglu just isn't the same player he was during his 1st term with the Magic. Peitrus was also a clutch playoff performer and he is gone. R. Lewis was a great fit on this team and it still surprises me they got rid of him. Gortat was a solid backup to Howard and now they have nothing. This use to be a good 3pt shooting team and now they are a bad one. Think they were 1-19 today at some point in the game. Ouch

[meckis]

Hawks just found all weakneses in magic, Turkoglu is needed very much but he is just terrible.

[hawley]

live by the 3 . . . die by the 3

[Magic62]

Coach = Garbage .

The comparison with the Cavs last year is a good one. They both had a superstar and won a lot of games. But when the 3s stopped falling they run into trouble.

[JMUplayer]

Trading for Gilbert Arenas...... I still don't understand that move.
Lewis wasn't good... but he gave you something.
Arenas doesn't give you anything over the long term
I can't remember if they saved any money in like 2014-2015 but in 2011 it's hurting them

[san2c]

really haven't played well together this year, dwight is incredible but it seems that hes not enough to make them an elite team.

[3PtShooter]

they need someone to go crazy scoring other than howard

[panik]

Live and die by the three. And they made like 2 out of 20?

[GTS925]

Coach = Garbage .

[GoldRush7]

they rely too much on the 3 and need a second big man

[MarlinsFan2212]

No consistent 2nd scorer and 3s wont drop.

[redrum]

they should have kept their old team i think they were better

[dwang0725]

Let's see. Howard was in foul trouble in the 1st half of yesterday's game and they were a combined 2/23 from behind the arc. That will equate to a loss for Orlando 99% of the time. Trading backup center Gortat killed them. There is no one behind Howard if/when he gets into foul trouble.

[FairPlayBet]

Coach = Garbage .

No offense, but you don't know what you are talking about? Stan Van Gundy = Garbage ???
Look at his results from the past. Even in this season. This what he has accomplished is great. Realistic, team of Orlando Magic is not so strong, not counting Howard. There are many stronger teams with weaker results.

And btw the series with Atlanta Hawks is not over yet.

[Betting Guru]

they aren't playing like a team that has any chemistry. howard can only do so much by himself. the rest of the team needs to get their stuff together

[demens]

3 point shooting is whats wrong.

I still think they can take this series in 7, those shots are going to start droping eventually.

[korbal29]

way overrrated team not a playoffs material team

[blinky88]

Atlanta takes it

[johnkreese]

They match up very, very poorly with Atlanta. A barrage of bigs that they can throw at Dwight and a host of "long" perimeter defenders that make 3 point shooting difficult.

[DANO74]

Magic really need a quality point guard that can make plays & get others open looks.

[demens]

Magic really need a quality point guard that can make plays & get others open looks.

Theres one in NJ (cough)

[JOHON8]

I think they are in shock that the way they play isn't going to work anymore. It sounds crazy but they need to get rid of Howard and make a real team.

[beyond]

They don't have offense

[chantrain]

Stan Van Gundy is awful. After the game he said "Well, guys just aren't making shots. They need to make shots."

damn son, maybe if your team wasn't predicated on 3 point shooting...you could win more consistently. Awful coach...but maybe he has no choice since he can only work with the pieces the FO gives him.

[redrum]

they r done now.they need to get tougher and stop relying on the 3pt shot

[Whippit]

Magic forced to shoot 3s because D-How clanks everything inside.

They mite be better signing Penny Hardaway & Nick Anderson at this point

so this is how I clean house:

dump Superhomo
dump Turkoglue
dump Riddick
dump Gilbert
above all...dump their GM for being an effin moran
