The way this Magic team is built, that no win situation is going to be visiting us every year in the Eastern Conference Finals. So what are we supposed to do, play Z the entire season, then watch him get his ass pounded by Howard every year?

A healthy Boston will dismantle Orlando.

Although we will make changed and be better next year, don't worry about it.

I just dont get why there werent a lot of shot opportunities for Z. You think MB would have spaced the floor a little bit better

 

[SanduskyCav]

He's just a terrible matchup for Dwight Howard, and we can't hide him by putting him on Rashard. Off the bench if necessary, but he's certainly still good enough to contribute. No one was saying a word about this going into the series.

Actually, I have been saying it all year..

 

[KIisKing]

Z suck so much cock tonight, I dint think it was possible.

Perhaps you should retire from fandom because Z haters are some of the most obvious bandwagoning idiots on this board.

This guy gives everything to this city and organization and you want him gone why? Oh because he was the best big man we had this series? AV stunk, Ben stunk, Joe...did Joe even play? All of our big men were overmatched this series but Z is the only one who did anything.

He plays a very important role in our offense by not clogging the paint and providing outside shooting. Z and Howard are not the reasons we lost this series.

You want to blame Ferry for not bringing in a younger, more physical center? Fine, I'm with you. MB for using him too much? Fine, he should probably be coming off the bench for like 15 minutes a game. But putting this loss on Z is completely pants on head retarded and the man deserves better than this garbage.

 

[KingOfTheCity08]

We need a banger in the paint whether it's a PF or C... We also need to get longer and more athletic. Z is not hot garbage, but he is a bench player at this point. IDK if that will happen though. When he gets warmed up shooting around, it's probably hard for him to sit on the bench, come out, and be productive at this point in his career.

I am NOT a bandwagon fan. Just because a player has worked his ass off for a team, and been with a team his whole career doesn't mean his fans cannot call him out when he is done. He is not a starter, and he looks terrible. He is not a key piece to this team anymore.

 

[kblade]

bad coaching makes z look even worse. We need to let z do what he does rebound and hit jumpers. Z's defense is below average on above average centers. We seem to dependent on getting him touches just because of the respect we owe him, but its counter productive now at this point in his career.

 

[LeBronMVP]

At this point, Z should be our backup Center. Danny want LeBron to stick around, he gonna have to get him a younger starting Center. LeBron carried this team all season long, he need a real No.2 option. We should definitely go after Tyson Chandler or Marcus Camby, they both can play defense and rebound the ball consistently well..We still need another consistent scorer for LeBron.

He can do all as our backup Center, but we need a fresher and younger starting Center for next season..Z is too slow, weak, and he doesn't use his length against shooter C's.

 

[AMC]

I expect the offseason like after we went to the Finals, Ferry will do nothing because we had 66 wins. Not looking forward to it.

Z basically averaged a ****ing double double against probably the best center in the league, what the hell do you want him to do?

Z gives everything he has to this team night in and night out, to even think about bashing him is just obscene, and having read it makes me feel bad. as much as I love lebron, Z is the one guy on this team that deserves some of the most respect.

who knows what he will be next year or the year after, but i take 16 and 8 from my starting C every day of the week...

I can't even do it...

No, I agree with you that he shouldn't be a starter but of course making that happen is not going to be easy.

 

[zmac]

God forbid he got killed by the best Center in the NBA. I mean, what do you want him to do? There are like two guys in the NBA that can guard Howard.

Exactly man. When your guarding the most dominant player in the league, its gonna be tough to go down the other end and make buckets.
Z deserves a championship and more. No one player is to blame for this, especially big Z.
