OT Orlando Magic 30/30 This Magic Moment

[VanillaGorilla]

But if Durant leaves he's headed to goldenstate...I'd rather that not happen

I highly doubt that

 

[Chris Craig]

The Thunder are going to win the series

Doubtful.

Hmmm

Those Penny & Shaq teams were tough man!!!

Fun as hell to play with on 2K.

Not if there is a god. Their owners sold their collective souls to the devil when they stole that team from Seattle. It is the hope of righting such wrongs that keeps me an optimistic agnostic and not a full-fledged atheist. The atonement is coming. I want them to lose, and lose badly, to GSW so Durant and Westbrick both flee Cowtown and their clueless, manure sniffing, hillbilly fans get several years of the hell of sub-20 win seasons.

BNM

YAAAAASSSSSSS!!

Why people in here are rooting for Clay Bennett's STOLEN team to win is beyond me.

So stupid. It was essentially as if the Bulls told Jordan they didn't think he was worth the most money. The Magic lucked into a once-in-a-generation center and they completely blew it.

They got a mulligan with howard (not as good as shaq, but still was a top player) and lost him too. Makes me feel like orlando sucks

I think they lucked into too much success early on, and they didn't appreciate it. The organization had only been around for a couple of years when they drafted Shaq.

Similarly, the Thunder ownership had only been around for a few years before they moved to OKC. They inherited Durant, and they lucked into Westbrook. They took it for granted. If they lose Durant this summer, and Russ next summer, they'll start to realize how cold the NBA can be.

Hope so. Maybe then okc will move back to seattle. I cant see that city supporting a team without westbrook and durant through the hard times.

I think the issue was the egos. Shaq and Webber would have feuded. Penny was a major introvert, and extremely quiet. That's why he and Shaq were able to coexist at first. Weber had an ego. He and Nellie feuded and he forced his way out of Golden State.

Ego wasn't the motivation for either Webber or Nelson. Nelson manipulated him with behavioral tricks, and Webber felt they were dirty and immoral. He despised Nelson for his deceits.

As for Shaq, his motive was always jealousy and an inferiority complex.
