Magic @ Hawks game 3 blog

[lefty]

Shouls be entertaining

[NewJerSpur]

Let's go magic!!!

[lefty]

And of course Jon Barry is there to ruin it

[NewJerSpur]

Kevin Connors in the house....that's guy's serious.

[NewJerSpur]

Come'on Turk.

[NewJerSpur]

Lol, they called goaltend before Howard even blocked it......they knew what was coming.

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta has some rather fine women, I must say. YESSIR!!!

[Reck]

Just tune in and as as soon as I heard that faggot Jon Barry tuned out with the quickness.

[NewJerSpur]

Zaza getting physical with Howard.

[NewJerSpur]

Reddick's shot stays wet.

[NewJerSpur]

Q-Rich sighting.

[NewJerSpur]

DPOY=Dwight Howard.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic do have a backup Center, they don't use him.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic might have to go to a zone look, struggling just trapping guys and there man-on-man defense is rather weak right now.

[Reck]

God man, Jon Barry is so fucking annoying.

Nigga talking like the players are in a video game and can make shots on command. What a fucking fag.

[NewJerSpur]

Human Highlight Film sighting.

[Reck]

The Magic look terrible. They might lose this series.

Also, this game is boring. As to be expected.

[NewJerSpur]

The Magic look terrible. They might lose this series.

Also, this game is boring. As to be expected.

If either Turk or Arenas doesn't show up, they very well may. J-Rich and Jameer are the only perimeter guys producing that create shots for themselves.

[NewJerSpur]

Good footwork by Anderson staying in front of Horford.

[NewJerSpur]

There we go. Good thing Atlanta's offense is so stagnate and one-dimensional, it's keeping Orlando in the game, though that last defensive sequence looked good.

[NewJerSpur]

D'Antoni's going to get fired midway through next year.....that trade hurt him imo.

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, Turk is struuuugling.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk had Jameer in the corner for an open 3.

[NewJerSpur]

Seems like everything Atlanta does is a clearout or one pass and go.....but it's working right now.

[lefty]

Magic chucking 3's


:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Magic chucking 3's


:lmao

Terrible.

[NewJerSpur]

That was corny Jon Barry.

[NewJerSpur]

If they keep doubling Dwight, don't just launch a 3 when he kicks it to you, re-post or fake the jumper and drive every once and a while to keep Atlanta honest.

[NewJerSpur]

Orlando hanging around at least.

[NewJerSpur]

Only down 7, it's magic.

[NewJerSpur]

Game still in range with the Hawks trying to go for the homerun on every other possession, but they're defending the Magic well in not letting Jameer just run through the lane off screens and Howard go head up with their bigs.

[NewJerSpur]

Let's GO Magic!!!

[NewJerSpur]

GREAT defense.

[NewJerSpur]

CRAPPY offense.

[NewJerSpur]

Keep shooting Atlanta.

[NewJerSpur]

There you go turk, game still in hand.

[NewJerSpur]

J-Rich, clutch.

[Spur-Addict]

Here we go. 2 point game.

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta stopped doubling hard, but also Howard making his move quicker and to the center of the floor cutting off the defender's angle.

[Spur-Addict]

Wow, lucky break for Josh Smith LOL

[NewJerSpur]

What a waist, and nobody told Bass the clock was running down.

[NewJerSpur]

Horford has Nelson on him, and he kicked it out to Heinrich?

[lefty]

lol peaches

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks offense helping Magic defense.....wonder if crowd booing will make Joe Johnson go off on them again.

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks too athletic a team to walk it up on every possession.

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks need to do that a lot more than they do. Game on.

[NewJerSpur]

Hedo baby.

[NewJerSpur]

Keep shooting atlanta.

[lefty]

Hawks choking...


The only difference between the Mavs and the Hawks is the owner

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks choking...


The only difference between the Mavs and the Hawks is the owner

:lol

[NewJerSpur]

Jameer Nelson, with the fade....Crawford makes him pay.

[Spur-Addict]

Crawford being Crawford.

[NewJerSpur]

Crawford being Crawford.

Basically, the SEATown Shakedown....shout out to Jake One.

[NewJerSpur]

Larry Drew looks like Dolamite.

[NewJerSpur]

Wow. Nelson dropping bombs.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic finally on top!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Atlanta=some jumpshooting mofos

[NewJerSpur]

Reddick locking down the bigger, more athletic Hawk wingmen. :tu

[hitmanyr2k]

It seems like Crawford always makes those fuckin shots.

Edit: And right after I type that the announcer says no one has more 4 point plays than Crawford :lol

[Spur-Addict]

And 1 trey. Way to give that up Marvin.

[NewJerSpur]

Weak foul call, weak.

[NewJerSpur]

Why Jameer?

[NewJerSpur]

Hit'em with a T!!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

Zaza reacted over that? There was nothing there :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Flop.

[hitmanyr2k]

Zaza took that out of the Fisher flopping playbook.

[NewJerSpur]

Get Reddick back in there.

[NewJerSpur]

Zaza took that out of the Fisher flopping playbook.

Then he got up stopming down the floor like he accomplished something. Only going to make Dwight angry....Hawks won't like him when he's angry.

[hitmanyr2k]

It's time for Howard to start demanding the ball down the stretch. It's his fuckin team. He doesn't do shit down the stretch of any game. He's letting Zaza bully him and push him off the block right now.

[NewJerSpur]

Can't lose to a bunch of jumpshooters.....I mean, jumpshooters that take more/worse shots than you.

[NewJerSpur]

Can't lose to coach Dolamite either, lol.

[NewJerSpur]

Shoot it Josh!!

[NewJerSpur]

Punish him Dwight!!

[hitmanyr2k]

About damn time Howard. Van Gundy would be an idiot if he doesn't tell his team to get Dwight the ball.

[NewJerSpur]

thank you Josh.

[NewJerSpur]

Get it out.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol Josh Smith being surprised at being taken out. You're garbage..get the fuck out.

[NewJerSpur]

Turk & Howard PnR=win

[hitmanyr2k]

Goddamn...nice putback :lol

[NewJerSpur]

:lol Josh Smith being surprised at being taken out. You're garbage..get the fuck out.

:lol:lmao

[NewJerSpur]

Thanks a lot Jason, see you in Game 5.

[hitmanyr2k]

J-Rich you dumb fuck. You're gone next game. Zaza has been trying to bait guys all night.

[Spur-Addict]

Magic with no self control.

[blkroadrunners]

LOL JRich

[NewJerSpur]

Zaza with the headbutt should get suspended too.

[Reck]

The thug in Richardson couldn't contain himself. This guy is done for next game.

[Spur-Addict]

Howard and J Rich with bitch moves.

[hitmanyr2k]

J-Rich if you're gonna get suspended make it fuckin count and deck Zaza in the mouth. Getting suspended over a stupid slap is just dumb.

[Spur-Addict]

Zaza with the headbutt should get suspended too.

[tlongII]

J-Rich is definitely going to be suspended for next game. Maybe Pachulia too.

[NewJerSpur]

J-Rich you dumb fuck. You're gone next game. Zaza has been trying to bait guys all night.

That's basically all he's out there for, and they fell for it.

[Tinystarz]

ejection both? that hand thing i would think is a ejection.

[peskypesky]

i love Zaza Pachulia. that is one tough muthafucka. he doesn't back down from anything or anybody. tough mofo.

[resistanze]

Yup, dunno why people are ignoring Zaza, he'll get suspended before JRich does.

[resistanze]

Howard with the bitch move though.

[tlongII]

Orlando has to win this one now or they are screwed.

[hitmanyr2k]

Did Zaza get him with a head butt? I thought he was just bobbing his head like a chicken.

[NewJerSpur]

Howard and J Rich with bitch moves.

Basically. Might cost them the series, this ain't the 2009 team.

[peskypesky]

Howard with the bitch move though.

yep. Howard instigated the whole thing by hitting Zaza in the face.

[timtonymanu]

That was dumb by JRich.

[peskypesky]

Howard should get a flagrant call for that forearm to Zaza's face.

[hitmanyr2k]

Dwight constantly does that cheap shot elbow move. He's been doing it for the last 2 years.

[Tinystarz]

howard foul? he did shove looks like.

[redzero]

Smart idea to start fighting while down with three minutes left.

[NewJerSpur]

Did Zaza get him with a head butt? I thought he was just bobbing his head like a chicken.

Thought so at first too. Magic are in trouble with no J-Rich.....Atlanta without Zaza, not so much. Stupid replay, how do you add a tech after the fact.

[peskypesky]

haha. Howard given a T for the forearm.

[peskypesky]

Thought so at first too. Magic are in trouble with no J-Rich.....Atlanta without Zaza, not so much. Stupid replay, how do you add a tech after the fact.

that's what replay is for.

[NewJerSpur]

that's what replay is for.

To give a tech when one wasn't initially called?

[resistanze]

Howard is dumb as fuck. The first season he develops a semblance of an offensive game and he constantly does shit like this.

[peskypesky]

i want to like Howard, but i just can't. he just doesn't have the class of your Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon or other great big men.

[NewJerSpur]

Shoot it Joe!!

[peskypesky]

To give a tech when one wasn't initially called?

to go back and see what really happened on crucial plays

[NewJerSpur]

Eat it!!

[blkroadrunners]

Thought so at first too. Magic are in trouble with no J-Rich.....Atlanta without Zaza, not so much. Stupid replay, how do you add a tech after the fact.

Could be critical for the Hawks too especially w/ Collins back problems - forces Horford to play against Howard more.

[NewJerSpur]

to go back and see what really happened on crucial plays

Do not agree, they didn't even have a technical in mind, they just tried to rectify the situation after the fact.

[hitmanyr2k]

Earn that money Joe. You've been stealing from the Hawks since you got there.

[NewJerSpur]

Could be critical for the Hawks too especially w/ Collins back problems - forces Horford to play against Howard more.

Good call on that front, forgot about collins for a sec. Going to need those fouls.

[NewJerSpur]

Brandon Bass Baby!!

[peskypesky]

Do not agree, they didn't even have a technical in mind, they just tried to rectify the situation after the fact.

doesn't matter if you agree, its in the rules:

[NewJerSpur]

Props to Al Horford, that was big time.....damn. Thanks again J-rich.

[hitmanyr2k]

Whatever Atlanta does....just don't let Josh Smith touch the ball :lol

[NewJerSpur]

doesn't matter if you agree, its in the rules:

Howard wasn't involved in the altercation, the guys that got thrown out were.

[peskypesky]

this is playoff basketball!!

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Turk.

[Spur-Addict]

Why don't you go to the hole Hedo?

[redzero]

Crawford just buried the Magic.

[Spur-Addict]

Game.

[blkroadrunners]

Sick Crawford. Sick.

[lefty]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[hitmanyr2k]

HO-LY Shit. Lucky MF...he didn't call glass :lol Nique knows he didn't call glass. That's game.

[Tinystarz]

:lol holy hell! 3!

[ace3g]

Crawford banks in 3 from top of the arc

[NewJerSpur]

Why don't you go to the hole Hedo?

He thought it was 2009, smh.

[VBM]

Bank is open for business

[resistanze]

:lmao What a fucking fluke

[peskypesky]

Howard wasn't involved in the altercation, the guys that got throw out were.

like i said, doesn't matter if you agree, its in the rules.

[peskypesky]

Crawford. lmao!

[hitmanyr2k]

Who would have thought I'd be more entertained by the Hawks/Magic instead of Lakers/Hornets :lol

[tlongII]

Hawks just won the series. :lol

[resistanze]

What a shitty way to lose :lol

[Killakobe81]

WOW on the shot Crawford just hit ...

That was one of the best "bad shots"in NBA history ...horrible time management by him and overdribbling ...

[NewJerSpur]

like i said, doesn't matter if you agree, its in the rules.

Not about agreeing or disagreeing, Howard wasn't involved in the altercation.

[hitmanyr2k]

Hawks just won the series. :lol

No way...this is going 7.

[Killakobe81]

Expect 50 and 20 next game from Dwight ...

[peskypesky]

Orlando Magic? I think not. This is why I've never believed in them as contenders. Orlando Tragic.

[Reck]

LOL Orlando on its way out of the first round playoffs.

[hitmanyr2k]

Orlando Magic? I think not. This is why I've never believed in them as contenders. Orlando Tragic.

Their main problem is their best player can't touch the ball in the last 2 minutes of a game. Van Gundy has no faith in Howard. The guy had Josh Smith on him and they still won't go to him.

[NewJerSpur]

Hawks have one of the worst offenses of the remaining teams next to Philly, but they earned this one and Orlando buckled under pressure.

[Killakobe81]

i want to like Howard, but i just can't. he just doesn't have the class of your Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon or other great big men.

We will take him in Los Angeles ... class is overrated ...





Im kidding , but I would still take him ...

[NewJerSpur]

Expect 50 and 20 next game from Dwight ...

It's coming, once they get him the damn ball. He's going to go the hell off.

[peskypesky]

LOL Orlando on its way out of the first round playoffs.

they're just not a complete team. they don't have that guy you can trust with the ball in his hands at the end of a close game.

[Killakobe81]

Hawks just sealing the deal ...by frustrating Dwight with a possible first round elimination ...

Bynum doing his job showing as the potential 2nd best center in the NBA ....

[davethedope]

sick of Orlando. I hope they're done in 5

[Killakobe81]

And we have "found" another great Laker big man in Orlando ...

[peskypesky]

Their main problem is their best player can't touch the ball in the last 2 minutes of a game. Van Gundy has no faith in Howard. The guy had Josh Smith on him and they still won't go to him.

yep. that's been a big problem for a long while. i totally agree.

[peskypesky]

Hawks just sealing the deal ...by frustrating Dwight with a possible first round elimination ...

Bynum doing his job showing as the potential 2nd best center in the NBA ....

:lmao

[hitmanyr2k]

We will take him in Los Angeles ... class is overrated ...

Im kidding , but I would still take him ...


I don't think the Lakers can afford the price tag Howard is gonna command.

[NewJerSpur]

Alright Turk, it's your time now....you've got to pick up J-Rich's slack since he feels ego and machismo takes precedence over winning. See you in Game 5 Richardson. Ridiculous.

[NewJerSpur]

And we have "found" another great Laker big man in Orlando ...

:ihit

[Cane]

Might as well let Arenas play his hobbled, half-assed game if Hedo's going to do the same.

Dwight needs to get the hell away from that pretender of a franchise if SVG and Otis Smith are still around...their 2nd best player is god damn Jameer Nelson for crying out loud and they have the 2nd highest payroll in the NBA :wow

[redzero]

Why did the Magic trade for a $20 million bench player who doesn't even get to play?

[Killakobe81]

I don't think the Lakers can afford the price tag Howard is gonna command.

Bynum's salary is already close it's only about 6 million less if their is still a max contract provision and I am pretty sure the owners will ask for less, not more. Add Luke's expiring (yes, he makes like 6 million) what better piece can the Magic realistically acquire?

[Budkin]

I hope Otis and SVG get their asses fired in the off season, otherwise Dwight is going to pull a Shaq and crush Orlando once again.

[Banzai]

Cp is like a pin-ball

[LkrFan]

I don't think the Lakers can afford the price tag Howard is gonna command.

hitmanyr2k, I gotta correct you on this one. Dr. Buss just inked a TV deal with Time Warner Cable for $3 Billion (http://articles.latimes.com/2011/feb/14/sports/la-sp-0215-lakers-time-warner-20110215) in February. That means that the Lakers can afford whoever they want without worrying about luxury taxes. Sucks huh? :lol

:toast

[JoeTait75]

I hope Otis and SVG get their asses fired in the off season, otherwise Dwight is going to pull a Shaq and crush Orlando once again.

Why? He's leaving regardless. It's another LBJ situation- franchise gets held hostage by its marquee player, makes panic moves in response = fails. And Dewey still can't hit free throws, stay out of foul trouble or take over at the end of games on a consistent basis.
