The Weekend Rebound #2 By: Kdizzle

This week has been very interesting for the Magic, from a loss to the Grizzlies, then a win against the Celtics. The crowning jewel of this week is definitely the win against Eastern Conference rivals the Celtics. The Magic intrigue me because, by the third quarter I had given up on them. Of course, I continued to watch and wow what a comeback. I’m not gonna lie, this is one of the most frustrating things of being a Magic fan. They coast through the first 3 quarters, looking like they barely have a pulse, and then BAM! 4^th quarter hits and all of a sudden they’re somehow back in the game. Why not just try equally throughout all 4 quarters? Why is it necessary to put it all in one quarter? How frustrating! But, on a lighter note, I just want to give a big SHOUTOUT to my boys J-will (for bringing us back with back to back 3’s) and JJ (for making that 3 that tied up the game). Love you guys, even if Doolz doesn’t! Oh and BIG shock that VC underwhelmed, yet again….NOT. Umm, I’m sorry Van Gunzel, but you are an absolute moron. I cannot believe that SVG made that last play of the game (Ya know, the one whereRashard Lewis won it all for us) for VC. WTF were you thinking? VC has not proven near reliable enough to trust a shot like that to him. I understand that he has been able to make game-changing shots, IN THE PAST! We are not in the past! We are in the present. Vinsanity has now been replaced by Wince Carter. Let’s try not to make stupid plays like that anymore, ‘K SVG? I promise I won’t be as hard on VC if you promise not to put so much on his (injured)shoulders.

Now, for the good stuff, trade rumors! These are my favorite! Of course, rumors of VC getting traded, because why would they not want to get rid of that albatross? But, apparently no one is overly interested in him. Shocked? Neither am I. But, one interesting player that has garnered some interest is Rashard Lewis. Why this is surprising to me is because his season thus far has been less than stellar. I say go for it! Even though he has a couple more good years in him, I think they are limited. I would like to see him get traded (along with his HUGE contract) to another team for a player that could be a good back up to Ryan Anderson. It’s not really him as a player that worries me, it’s more that I would rather see someone with either an expiring contract or someone a lot cheaper. By trading Lewis for a smaller contract, that frees up some money for the off season. Plus, if they could get rid of Carter, the possibilities seem endless. Other players that are always at the top of trade rumors are Marcin Gortat and Brandon Bass. I would like to see these players stay in Orlando, though. I really like the “Twin Towers” play that SVG rolled out against the Celtics. And I think that Brandon Bass has a lot of potent playing power (Like that alliteration?) that the Magic have yet to unleash. I just can’t wait to see what the Magic pull out before the trade deadline hits. I’m counting down the days!

And on a final note, I would like to say a little something to Kevin Garnett. Garnett said “Tough loss. We had them right where we wanted them and let it slip away,” after the game on Thursday. I’m sorry KG since when are you god? I didn’t realize that you and your band of old geezers controlled what other teams do. You got hustled fair and square; don’t pretend like you let us have it. You didn’t let anything slip away, we outplayed you, so please get off your high horse.

This is a little treat, that just the memory of, brings a smile to my face.

Umm….Who the eff do you think you are AJ? Please get back on the bench and stop making things worse for yourself. But, I do appreciate the laughs, so thanks.
