Eric Gordon has hit game winning shots in 66% of the games he has played in this year. 2 out of 3 after hitting to FTs with 2 seconds left last night lol.

Sooooooo

D Howard asked management to fire SVG. And then in a press conference today, after SVG was told this, went up to him and gave him a big ole hug.

Sooooooo

Firing SVG would be pretty dumb. He's an excellent coach.

The dunk by Griffin over Gasol was insane.

Dwight is quickly becoming my least favorite player in the league.

It was interesting because you don't see a player shoot 0-15 to start every game... The game wasn't on TV and I left. When I left, Kobe was 2-20 or something and the Lakers were down 5.

I come back and read the thread and see you were on my nuts about the situation.

It's kind of like how you point out that the Lakers win, but do not point out when they lose.

Kinda like OSU983249823498 QQing about the refs whenever the celtics lose, but not when they win. Speaking of which, where has he been? His posts brought the lulz.

Knicks dominate the Magic in Orlando

Dwight only goes for 8 and 8 in 40 minutes. I'm starting to wonder if SVG survives the season

How can he? Dwight is being a bitch and going to management trying to get him fired. Props to SVG for having the attitude he does regarding the situation.

No reason for Dwight to go for 8/8 in 40 minutes of play unless he's not even fucking trying.

I used to hate SVG, but the way he has handled this situation has made me respect him.

If I was Stan I would just quit. They have quit on him. Well their main guy has quit.

He would be hired in a heart beat IMO.

Dwight is a fucking baby. He's going to make management fire the coach then skip out of town anyways. There is no way he is on the Magic after next season.

I would ship his ass out in the offseason if I were the Magic. This draft is pretty damn deep, good way to get started in the rebuild by having a top pick in this year draft. Maybe work something out with the Nets

I'd trade Dwight for the #1 pick...

However, didn't Dwight and the FO of the Magic sign some sort of contract?

I think all it was was something saying he wouldn't opt out after this year.
