I like the Magic team. I like their fans (online fans anyhow). BenQ's blog and the people who post there seem to know what they are talking about and don't whine or get inflamatory. Jameer is a fine young player. Lewis is damn good. Even though Piston fans tend to dislike big money players. Hedo is awesome. If/when the Pistons close out this series many Detroit fans will figure it was a forgone conclusion but it will be a very good series win against a talented team. ... then we will be stuck blogging with Celtic fans. People who have been Celtic fans for about 6 months. Not fun. Or if the Cavs somehow (doubtful) pull out the series then even worse ... Cavs fans. I'll make a deal. If the Magic can pull out the next 3 games and win this series then I'll happily cheer for them on BenQ's blog. I'd like to invite Magic fans to come over and join us against the oncomming torrent of Celtic fans. Definitely not looking forward to hearing the opinions of Boston.

BenQ’s blog and the people who post there seem to know what they are talking about and don’t whine or get inflamatory.

Jameer is a fine young player.

Lewis is damn good. Even though Piston fans tend to dislike big money players.

Hedo is awesome.

Then I realized it came from a newspaper and it wasn't funny anymore. Stuff like that lends credence to the theory that Orlando doesn't know what it's talking about when it comes to sports. As an Orlando resident (and I've been here my entire life), it's embarrassing. The Magic are pure class, from top to bottom. If only the Sentinel treated the Pistons (and their fans) with the same level of respect. When I first saw the Crybaby Rasheed thing, I chuckled a bit.

There are hardly any responses to that article that demonstrate superior understanding of the Pistons and/or the NBA. And yeah Matt, that's absolutely amateur hour journalism by Greene and with the crybaby flash animation. I shudder to think that any of the Detroit papers resorted to such idiocy when we were a team on the rise, as is the claim in one of the responses to the article.
