    As a Magic and Dolphins fan, I just ask that the Fins keep Nick Anderson of the field in the playoffs then please.

    Idk whether to laugh or cry??? Anderson needed 1 FT.... ONE.... Just make ONE of them and I absolutely have 0 doubt Orlando wins the title.

    No question. They were a juggernaut.
    That sequence absolutely crushed them.

    ... And note, I love Nick Anderson. Magic legend. Just a terrible couple minutes.

    Not sure how a tweet relates to Carter killing his homies in real life but okay. Everyone seems to blame Lebron for everything anyway lol.

    I’d rather the Dolphins get their injury bug out of the way now and be healthy in the playoff stretch.

    Nick caught the yips at the worst possible time. His career was never the same.

    Yup, they were never the same after that loss after being up big the entire game. And it definitely crushed Nick, I believe he was only shooting like 20ish % from the line the next season. Then MJ came back with a vengeance.... crazy looking back at those couple seasons.

    Of course not, but they leave Philly knowing that even with such a banged up team and lopsided officiating they played right with the NFC champs until late.

    Absolutely something to build on.
    That secondary was basically a practice squad out there. Eli freaking Apple is terrible.

    Didn't someone post the quote about JC bringing up bron.... while I know we both realize they're not the same scenario, but brons a loudmouth crybaby and it's honestly comical JC said the flop was inspired by bron.

    As for Miami I agree, they get healthy for the playoffs they're a SB team. Just need that DC to step up his game as well. The injuries suck, but damn.

    Yeah it’s very comical. Lebron should kill a couple people while driving drunk and then say “I was just inspired by Jalen Carter.” Hee hee!

    Yeah Vic Fangio has been up and down so far but in his defense he hasn’t had all of the necessary pieces he needs be available and healthy.

    Magic just have had bad luck. Everything from losing Shaq in his prime to Penny Hardaway’s injuries to Grant Hill’s injuries to just missing out on getting Tim Duncan in free agency in summer of 2000…just one stroke of bad luck after another.

    Your school has done everything possible to cover up their actions/liability in that accident, and to lay the blame only on a deceased staff member who was driving the suv that crashed.
    This probably isn’t the place for any bullshit virtue signaling.
    Note: I’ve never had any issues with your posts, in general.

    Seems Jalen Carter might have a future in futbol (soccer) after finishing in the NFL.
    Of course, no one flops like Latin Americans. Buena suerte, Senor Carter! :D

    Lebron’s highlight reel of flops is embarrassing.

    It’s hard to wrap my head around flopping. You get made fun of on national tv. You’d think pro athletes would have more pride.
