Si no ganan hoy el mundo se acaba

El mundo del fanatico en la red. La internet nos da muchas cosas beneficiosas. Informacion, noticias, entretenimiento, y tambien estan esos sitios donde encontrar compañia adulta esos viernes por la noche, despues de una semana larga de trabajo, y sin tener energias para salir o para los que simplemente no tenemos, digo, tienen amigos con quien salir.

Los Magic perdieron contra los Lebroniers. Esta bien, fue un juego cerrado y si quitamos los pititos esos al final del juego por los refs, fue un muy buen partido peleado hasta el final. Pero que pasa, que en todos los foros y blogs esta mañana estan los fanaticos vueltos locos como si el mundo se hubiera acabado. Desde fans pidiendo el banco para Rashard Lewis a otros que quieren colgar a Stan Van Gundy por no usar a Dwight mas en el juego.

Mi gente, tomenlo con calma. El deporte es entretenimiento. Yo entiendo que como fans de un deporte, somos bien apacionados y celosos pero no queremos morir de un ataque del corazon. No es el fin del mundo. Los Magic han mejorado un mundo comparando con la temporada pasada. Hubiera sido muy bueno ganar el juego, pero simplemente no se pudo. Ahora es tiempo de seguir adelante y terminar la temporada lo mejor que se pueda. Hasta los Bulls de los 90 tuvieron que perder algunos jueguitos, asi que no se me desesperen.

Respiren profundo.

Ya te sientes mejor?

Entiendes que es solo entretenimiento?
ok, pues, es que no te queremos perder...
Disfruta el juego de hoy.

If they Don't win the World has ended

The cyber fan world that is. The internet gives us many good things. You can find information on just about anything, news, entertainment, and even some adult company for those lonely fridays after a long work week, where you don't have energy to go out and do anything or if you simply don't have any friends.

The Magic lost last night to the Lebroniers. That's ok, it was a close game, and if we take out the few miscalls by the refs in the end, it was well played. But what happened this morning, all the forums and blogs are full of fans that are about to blow their heads off. From benching Rashard Lewis to hanging Stan Van Gundy for not giving Dwight more touches.

People, take it easy. Sport is entertainment. Sure we are fans and sometimes passionate about our sport, but you don't want to have a heart attack for a loss. Its not the end of the world. The Magic have improved a lot since last season. We are young and will continue to get better. It would have been great to win the game, but its over. You can't change it. Even the Bulls in the 90's had to lose some games, so come on, it'll be all ok.

Take a deep breath.

Are you feeling better?

Do you understand that this is just entertainment?
OK, Good, we just don't want to lose you....
Now enjoy tonight's game.

Yes Magic Fans, it's the Trade Deadline

This afternoon at 3 PM is the trade deadline. Like car dealers, many GM's are on the phone trying to move last years models and clear the floor for the offseason... Or 2010.

Word is the Magic are going to stay where they are. According to the Orlando Sentinel:

[Otis]Smith has said as late as Tuesday night that he doesn't expect to make a move, but he will listen.

"I know who our team is. I know what we have today," Smith said."But you always have to listen and hear what's out there for you."

SOP (standard operating procedure) for Mr. Smith, but given that he has clearly said previously that resigning Hedo is a top priority in the offseason, it is hard to see a move that could drastically improve the current roster without jeopardizing the potential to get a fair Turk deal done.

But hey, there are plenty of ways for you, the Magic fan, to waste your Thursday. But for the most wasteful method, here is how you do it:

1. Pretend that you are Otis and find a way to ship out Cook, Foyle, Battie, and Pat Garrity (?) for Chris Bosh over on ESPN's trade machine.
2. Go to a message board, like this one, or this one, and post your trade idea. Make sure you say something like, "Otis should do this," or "it's fair for both sides."
   
3. When someone let's you know that this is the worst trade ever, that it makes no sense for one or both teams involved, and that being a GM is much more complex and harder than you can imagine, call them an idiot.
4. When 3PM passes and Orlando doesn't make the blockbuster move to pick up that overrated hack that you think would make us the best team in the league (see Ron Artest), ramble on about how Otis is an idiot and he needs to be fired and blah blah blah.
   
5. Go to work so you aren't late for your shift at Arby's.

Happy Trade Deadline Day Magic Fans!
