Indulge me for a second

Here I go again...

Apparently I am now rooting for my most hated Dukie, JJ Redick. Hate him but I have to support him now because the idiot in the front office, the same idiot who drafted Vasquez without ever meeting him or seeing him play, drafted him. It what world does JJ have a different career than Trajon Langdon? How are they different as players? I would say that Langdon is more athletic and a better defender.
It's amazing that have a good jumper and a college system designed to get you as many shots as humanly possible will get you picked in the lottery EVEN THOUGH you have a bad back (and a future drinking problem).
I wanted Roy or even Brewer but I'm glad we didn't trade to get them because Arroyo would have been involved and we have to keep him so the team stays in Orlando. The Puerto Rican fans that Arroyo brings to the arena will keep this team afloat for a season or two. If you go to the message boards in Orlando (I don't recommend it) they are trying to get Jameer benched for Arroyo! That would be dumb but he's a good back up PG and brings said fans.

Imagine a Magic game next year where the ball goes in to Dwight, comes back out and is rotated to JJ who nails the 3 who then gets his ankles broken and his back wrenched by ANY shooting guard on ANY roster in the league. It's a 2 guard's league now and he is going to get toasted nightly. Is it possible that he can come off the bench and fair better against second team's guards? Yes, but why do you draft a guy at 11 that will come off the bench for the rest of his career. I don't care how weak the draft is you could get a starter at 11 if you use your head.

Otis... you fucked me. At least I don't have to watch 6 years of games with Morrison shooting himself in the stomach at the break between quarters. That would have been hell on earth. You know that they are going to show it every game!

I'm not even going to touch the 6'11" stiff we drafted in the second round. He'll never see a minute on this team.

Okay that's it. That's all the negativity I will bring until JJ fails. I will root for him and hope that he will hustle on D and play smart, and shoot the lights out. I want JJ to make me look like an asshole again (remember my Tim Duncan prediction) so that my team will improve. Now I'm Mr. Positive Magic Fan. I'll give JJ until the All Star break. If he doesn't impress me then I'm back to the real me.

In other news.... Danny Ainge... what are you doing sir? Telfair? Good luck with that.
