MAKE. THE. FOULS. STOP.

Magic really managed to turn a nice blowout win into an unpleasant viewing experience.

They should just concentrate on trying to get to 80 points

Ha ha! I say that and they start scoring

Well executed offense leading to FTs...love to see it.

Wow....there were like three possessions in a row with no foul. Incredible.

Nice win....tough game to watch though.   Very little flow.   

Regarding Orlando, I am not sure what people here see on Bamba.  I don't see it.  Now I haven't seen him much.  But he doesn't appear to affect winning.  He is just sort of out on the court running around.  He will block a few shots and get a few dunks, but nothing special.   I also don't know what to think about Anthony.  He has had a solid season, but I can't get a grasp of his game.   I am not sure if he is a starting point guard on a good team.  Still young though, but I think he is more of a scorer off the bench.

I do really like Suggs.  I know he has had a rough rookie year and really needs to improve his shot.  But I think he eventually does.  He is a big, strong physical guard.   I did expect him to be better as a rookie, but I still think he lives up to his promises.  Franz also shows really nice upside.   Looks really big out there.


If you are the Mavs coach and you have a 30 % shooter shooting 8 threes a game, a 28% three point shooter shooting 5.5 threes a game, and a 32% shooting shooting 7 threes a game what do you do?  Do you hope they shoot themselves out of that or do you try to limit their threes to only good looks?

I tell them to "chill out"! Cut the looks in half and take only the best and most open ones.

Ya, the argument has been made that if they don’t take those 3’s that they lose respect (and consequently space-making ability). I don’t think 3-4 good looks a game loses that respect. As it is now, why would a playoff team not let our 28-32% shooters shoot those? I guess that makes them good looks though, right? Color me unconvinced that those shots raise them to an acceptable level.
