It's a case of sleepwalking into the playoffs. They do it almost every year. The first half of the game, they were dominating, then the 3rd quarter is when it fell apart. 4th quarter they couldn't make a basket. They also shot like 50% at the line. It's still one more back to back set left too.
Well.... Dallas lost to the freakin Warriors so this loss doesn't hurt that bad.

These flagrants fouls in this mavs/suns are some of the worst. That wasn't a flagrant on james jones, that fool flopped to the floor hard......

More like it's a case of the Magic playing the best of any team in the NBA right now. Explain to me how being down at half time = dominating the first half? Really sucks that are chances of making the playoffs are so slim.. I think we could give Detroit a serious run considering we just beat them and how hot we've been. Shame
Oh and congrats to Darko on a new season high of 14!

Of course there is no way Dirk will actually win it, but I respect Charles and Kenny's opinion a lot. Most voters will pick LeBron anyway.

Lebron better not fucking win. I rather see anyone other than him win. The cavs wouldnt even make the playoffs in the West. And if everyone is arguing Kobe cant win it because his team is in the 7th spot, Lebron shouldnt win it with his weak team and "Oh shit, i have the last shot of the game? I better pass it!" Mentality. Yes i know he hit the gamewinner against the Hornets, but thats the only one i can recall in recent memory.
Wait, now that I think about it -- that must be a career high for Darko! This kid is gonna be good.. he'll never be as good as some of the guys drafted after him or even as good as Dwight Howard, but he's scored in double figures 12 times now (out of 27 games) for us which is pretty solid. If he gets 32 or so minutes a game next year, he should definitely get near a double double on many nights.
I think he could easily be a 13 pt, 8 rebound type of guy which are pretty solid numbers for an Eastern Conference center. It will be a nice compliment to the 20/13 that Dwight will average next year. The two of them in the middle could be a daunting tandem for years to come with Darko getting the blocks and Dwight pulling down the rebounds. We gave Battie an extension for some reason (4 years?!) and while I think he's a solid player, he's 30 and Darko's 20.. easy choice on who to groom for the future.

I've been rooting for Darko for a while. Now that he gets enough PT, his stats are starting to show. I think there's been at least 10 games where he got 2-3 blocks and scoring in double digits.

I think Steele said his career high is 16 against the Hawks last year. The rest of the post is dead on. The guy has an amazing skill set already. I've been floored by how great his touch is around the basket and his passing. I can't wait.
You'd think the league would "fix it" so the Magic make the playoffs.
I wouldn't be suprised to see them win the lottery after all this even though their current chance is .8%.Oh and Fuck. The. Nets.! We should be within 1.5 games going into tonight.

Simmons picks Kobe for MVP? Now i've seen it all. If the number 1 Kobe hater can admit KB8's the MVP, then maybe he's really got a shot!

Here's a part of Kenny Smith's show with the Magic GM on the line http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=044SB1RDW58ZN21ZXAXM5PX4G0

If it weren't for his baggage he would have won the award easily this year.
And Simmons can make some sense when he isn't praising Brady. He is right that 5 years from now the only thing we will remember are the NBA champs and that Kobe scored 81 points in a game.
There's perhaps dozen players in the league who could legitimately lay claim to the MVP award.
Carmelo Anthony
Elton Brand
Kobe Bryant
Chauncy Billiups
Vince Carter/Jason Kidd
Lebron James
Steve Nash/Shawn Marion
Dirk Nowitzki
Tony Parker
Dwayne Wade
If any of those players won, it wouldn't bother me a bit.

I'm surprised no one is mentioning Gerald Wallace as a candidate for Most Improved...with 4 games left, he only needs 4 blocks to become only the third player in league history to average 2 steals and 2 blocks in a season. He has raised his FG% from 45% to 54% this year, he's dropped his TOs from 2.3 to 1.8 and he's averaging nearly 16 ppg.
