Well, that was all very tidy now, wasn't it?

Fool's not worried, though.

I guess we just saw the season differently. In my eyes, all three of those players got a lot of run and solidified the case for/against them. Amir disappointed, Max plateaued, AA met/exceeeded expectations with some upside still remaining.

I was disappointed with the season.

We didn't get to see Stuckey and Bynum on the floor for 20 minutes per game for 10 or 15 games and that might be something we'll try next season. Could have seen if it worked or not instead of pushing for the playoffs.

We didn't get to see Maxiell or Amir play 20 minutes per night for 10 or 15 games to see if they could re-discover/recover their form. We might need them next season (and Amir could have possibly increased his trade value)

We didn't get to see AA play SF for 20 minutes per game for 10 or 15 games to see how he'd handle the work load. That is something we might do next season and it would have been nice to know ahead of time if it was a good idea or not.

Could have also had Stuckey play extensively with all the young guys at the same time to help him be more of a vocal leader/captain on the floor. I doubt he dictates much on the floor when he's in with Rip, Tay, Sheed and Dice.

A lot of things could have been done to help us for next season and we didn't do them. Instead we made the playoffs, got bounced regardless and now we'll have to find out who our young guys really are next season.

We wasted a GOLDEN opportunity simply to pad a meaningless playoff streak and to pad the coffers of the organisation.

Not worried.

Still?

I just read this on Hoopshype, uncensored, and kind of did a double take.

Rashard Lewis to Courtney Lee in the Orlando locker room after Game 2: "Don't let tonight fuck your head up for the rest of the series."

Zero worries.

Is Courtney Lee the new Nick Anderson?

[Glenn]

Rumor has it that Pat Riley is attempting a hostile takeover of the Magic and will be replacing SVG on the bench for game 3.

[Pharaoh]

Is Riley bringing Scott Hall and Kevin Nash?
