Magic are eliminated by Hawks in round 1. Discuss Orlando now that they're done

This thread has a bunch of merged reactions to the Orlando Magic being eliminated in the first round by the Atlanta Hawks in six games.

What's your take on Dwight Howard and the Magic, how they lost, and what their future is?

SMH. There's nothing good about this Hawks team whatsoever, nothing. They define mediocrity.

At least he took out Hinrich for the rest of the playoffs:confusedshrug:

So does Orlando lol Dwight Howard is as good as gone.

I guess it's a good thing Howard wasn't favorite for the MVP. He would have received it at home via Fed Ex like Dirk.

they lost alot of defense with Gortat / Pietrus and even Rashard Lewis leaving. Welp Dwight's gone for sure.

What happened ?

In the 2nd round from his couch. Lmfao Don't write a check that your ass can't cash.

[QUOTE=HeyIt'sMe]SMH. There's nothing good about this Hawks team whatsoever, nothing. They define mediocrity.[/QUOTE]

so do the Magic. just saying.

[QUOTE=Clutch]What happened ?[/QUOTE]

I'm kidding. Hinrich injured himself pretty badly coming down from a layup, left the game immediately.

I'm saying.

Best sign ever "Hey Jameer, we'll tell Derrick you said hello"

There's already a thread on this exact subject...

lol. Otis on WPP.

glutchlando tragics will have to say bye bye to Might Coward now :violin:

Bulls sweep Hawks, lock it in.

I think Otis Smith has just lost his job. SVG should stay though. Despite his flaws he is a great coach..

Dwight to Orlando:

To make Magic fans feel better, here's Horford seemingly terrified of a basketball:

Hopefullly Otis and SVG are gone after this...

What about Orlando is anything but mediocre? Outside of Dwight Howard?

Feels bad man

like i said before, Orlando looks real foolish by getting rid of the main players who made as tough as they were to beat the last 2 years.

Gortat, Lewis, VC, all were solid players on offense. Barnes & Pietrius for defense. Before them Skip To My Lou was doing his thing and Anthony Johnson was floor general.

And Hedo of 09 >>> Hedo of 11.

Hawks CHI match up will most likely go 6-7 games.

I dont like the hawks but they are a long and athletic team. HAwks will give teams fits but Chicago will win..still I wouldnt be surprised to see Hawks win game 1.

Damn, and I picked the Magic to win in 7!
C ya Dwight!

1 down, and 1 to go(Chris Paul)

Orlando could've won the championship if they kept Alston on the floor instead of playing the then just coming-back from injury Nelson. that was the start of the end for the Magic. Otis destroyed this franchise. I can't believe how you can have the best big man in the league and go wrong in building a team around him. smh.

you see the parallels with the Cavs? making "cosmetic trades" just for the sake of appearing to do something? Orlando deserves another Decision. and fk, Lakers just got another dynasty waiting in the wings. :facepalm

Pietrus was trash. I've never seen someone blow so many wide open layups/dunks.

Howard = Overrated

[QUOTE=Christofire]Howard = Overrated[/QUOTE]

He is more of an MVP to his team than Rose.

Hinrich was carried to the locker room, his arms draped around two Atlanta trainers so he didn't put any pressure on the knee.

not looking good for hawks fans.

Done.
