Big D finally lost.  Great run for them.  They rolled my Jazz twice in that period!  I'll pose a question to you guys.  Do you think the Orlando Magic need a roster shakeup to get over the hump or are they just going through a rough patch?  Personally, I've never felt the Magic could win a championship as presently constituted because of their lack of "tough guys".  Guys with killer instincts.  You gotta have a couple of them on your team imo if you want to win it all.  Dwight Howard is a great talent, but he doesn't have that crush your opponent attitute that guys like KG, D-Will, and Kobe have.  Also their over-reliance on the three ball is an achilles heel.  I think it's time for a change for them.

I think right now for the Magic, Lewis and Redick need to step it up and yes i know that their reliance on the 3-ball can be there downfall at times but other times when their 3s are going down they tend to blow-out teams.

That's precisely the reason I think that they win lots of regular season games and then get ousted in the playoffs.  Playoff defense generally gets tougher it seems.  They have good defense and rebounding going for them though.

Don't know about game of the season, but it was a fantastic game.  Very entertaining, well-played basketball.  I tell you what, I was writing off Amare and the Knicks, but they've got a good team.  Amare is playing as well as I've ever seen him play.  That's even considering those good years in Phoenix.  The Knicks inability to get defensive rebounds down the stretch cost them the game.  If you take away the second chance shots they win.

Amazing, simply awesome match. I'm not a fan of the Knicks, but I really do appreciate the way they approach the game, it simply makes up for some incredible games. We were lucky to get a win, you really have to salute the Knicks for the way they played.

11 and counting
