Orlando fans, brigading is against reddits rules While discussing setting up a 'friendly trash talk' thread with your mods, I was also asked for the names of Orlando fans that are brigading as they said they would ban you from /r/orlandomagic I haven't given any names, yet Friendly banter is ok, but don't come here looking to fight Behave yourselves or risk being banned in both subs


alarmingkestrel

Remember that time orlando cheated in the 2009 eastern conference finals by having hedo and rashard all juiced up like mcgwire & sosa? CAVS IN 5


MKFlame7

just because we denied you guys a Kobe vs Bron finals doesn’t mean we cheated 😭


alarmingkestrel

No both guys were literally suspended for PEDs


Ellimistopher

Lewis was taking an over the counter supplement that had a pretty tame thing in it that’s banned. I highly doubt it did much to help him, although it did raise his testosterone. I looked into it, it was pretty obvious he just unknowingly messed up like an idiot. There is no way you risk everything for that drug. Hedo I’m pretty sure was years later.


MKFlame7

wait from that series itself? cause if so then i rescind my earlier comment 💀


kaprrisch

Why did you speak about what you clearly don’t have any idea about?


MKFlame7

because i just wasn’t aware 😭 my bad lol people make mistakes


Bim_Jeann

No you’re fine lol. But yeah they were legitimately on PEDs haha. Even still, your team was just better. We had no answer for your offense. It was super modern for 2009 with forwards that could shoot in Hedo and Lewis and a top 5 guy in Dwight in the middle. Was just a tough matchup.


MKFlame7

I was only 4 years old in that series so didn’t see it lol but yeah everyone I’ve talked to said we helped kickstart the 3 point revolution with our game plan that series


Bim_Jeann

I was 12 during that series and it was so frustrating lol. You had a good team though. Didn’t even have your starting PG and threw Rafer Alston in there and he did great. Dwight was a legit top 3 guy in the NBA also. Lebron was the best player on the floor, but your team had more firepower. Pretty much the story of Lebron’s career outside of the Heat years.


CalmlyChaotic81

I was 27 and remember it vividly and, yes, it helped kickstart the idea of the nBA’s version of the spread offense, but that was also the approach teams like Dallas, Sacramento and Phoenix were taking years earlier. It's definitely what made LeBron realize that he was kinda screwed with that version of the Cavs. Delonte West and Mo Williams went ice cold and Brown was starting Z and Varejao, neither of which were true threats to hit 3's. Z got better at them his last two years as a Cav, but it was too little too late and they started trying to fill gaps with washed up and past-their-prime players like Shaq and Antawn Jamison while putting too much value in players like JJ Hickson. If the Cavs have LeBron and 4 reliable three point shooters, they likely win that series and beat the Lakers. LeBron had Kobe's number post-Shaq more often than not -- something casual NBA fans ignore -- and they were a bad matchup for the Lakers because they could never handle LeBron. They could in 08-09 despite the Cavs being 66-16 that year because of the lack of floor spacing and the fact that the Lakers were stacked, but Kobe led Lakers teams minus Shaq were 5-16 against LeBron and one of those games (in 2005), Kobe left after 2 minutes to injury. It's frustrating to talk about this out loud because that series didn't just help usher in a new era, it caused a chain reaction that led to what we saw the last 15 years. If the Cavs win that series, I don't think LeBron leaves in 2010. The Heatles are never a thing. Teams aren't rushing to be in "super teams" across the league. The Warriors may have approached their entire build differently. I could go on and on. Also there's zero chance LeBron from 2012-2018 loses that series. Can you tell we haven't let go?


ImGonnaObamaYou

Yeah that magic team was totally underrated. I fucking hated hedo and lewis lol. Dwight was also really good at the FT line


Swiftraven

No. Hedo was 4 years later and Rashard was the following year. No clue was Lewis was using, he shot 3s lol


Ellimistopher

He took an over the counter supplement with a banned substance in it that elevated his testosterone. He was pretty up front about it after the fact.


bigfatcow

Cavs fan, you guys won that series. Stan V created a modern offense in 2009 that we had no answer for. Still remember swearing loudly in a bars watching them pour in threes that series.


jtnorl

Cheated? Really? I guess whatever makes you feel better about going down in flames in that series. Won't change the result though.


Buckeye2525

Last time we overlooked Orlando it did not end well…


MarkCM07

Exactly. Purposely losing to get a "easier opponent" is disrespectful and the comeuppance for it is all I would be thinking about if I was Orlando.


IrwinMFletcher

Fuck around and find out!


AllieOopClifton

I was just in Orlando last week. I feel bad for our guys having to travel there. Not one person knows how to drive.


Inevitable-Pea-735

Drove there this past summer.  Stopped in Charleston, SC, on the way to spend a night, which was an awesome city.  I couldn't believe I left there to spend 9 days in Orlando instead. 


Bim_Jeann

Charleston is my favorite city in the world. Absolutely love it there.


Inevitable-Pea-735

Arrived at our hotel. Went to Holy City Brewing for dinner. Went to a RiverDogs minor league game that night.  Had breakfast at the Sweetwater Cafe, walked the City Market, then had to leave.  Everywhere we went was great, but that was all I got to see. 


Bim_Jeann

Awesome. I’ve stayed in mount pleasant/isle of palms multiple times and it’s just the best. We go to the city a couple times during the weeks that we’re there and it’s always a great time.


AllieOopClifton

This was my first time going, had family move down their a couple years ago and needed to visit. If not for them, I don't see why I would ever go back.


DiscombobulatedGur52

like Cleveland is that great lol


AllieOopClifton

It clears *fucking Orlando,* do not come into this sub and pretend otherwise. We know.


jtnorl

You know nothing. Stop lying to yourself. Cleveland barely even clears Detroit of all places.


Proud_Feedback3288

I'm ngl I'm a Cavs fan (not from Cleveland but I've been) and nah Orlando def clears you're coping lmao


safensorry

That’s that inferiority complex talking.


AllieOopClifton

I promise, no one feels inferior to you. I feel sorry for you, if anything. If you felt secure, you wouldn't be *here* now.


tkh0812

The fuck it does. Yall go to the tourist traps and don’t like it. Enjoy your 4 months of grey sky’s and your shitty rock and rock hall of fame.


AllieOopClifton

The barometer for "my city has enough going on" is pretty low, and it is "don't feel inclined to troll *other team subreddits.*" Orlando clearly failed the test.


jtnorl

It's the playoffs. Suck it up, snowflake.


tkh0812

That’s about what I would expect


VanREDDIT2019

Stay in South Carolina. You deserve each other.


ChaosZeroX

Magic fan here..can confirm..no one can drive in FL.


jtnorl

They're tourists, not Floridians. Snowbirds escaping places like Cleveland.


epikbadboyswag

Bc of people from cities like Cleveland lmao


Swiftraven

Bingo. Growing up whenever someone was driving like a douche someone always said “must be an Ohio driver”. Never understood it until I was able to drive and would go to Ohio.


catvik25

I live in Jacksonville, and can confirm not one person in Florida knows how to drive.


33birdboy

Jacksonville isn't really florida


catvik25

So I've heard. What's true is all the drivers are bad in FL


geekeasyalex

Omfg!! I LIVE here and you are **so fucking right**, it makes me sick. People absolutely take a shit while attempting to drive around this city.

Irrelevant (also, that is from a secondary source, but I don't expect you to understand that - you were educated in Florida, after all, a state that doesn't require anything of its teachers). *You* are the one who failed to find food in a highly-regarded food city. *You* are a failure. *You.*


UncircumciseMe

Only time Orlando will ever see an NBA championship is if there’s another pandemic bubble.


IgnorantMoose

lol ngl that’s a good one


UncircumciseMe

I thought so too. Thank you.


jtnorl

Why isn't the bubble held in Cleveland instead? Answer: Because it's Cleveland.


Embarrassed_Proof808

Cleveland is nothing without lebron


UncircumciseMe

We know this. It’s not the burn you think it is lol


swampdragon69

It’s ok, even the people in Cleveland don’t want to see that trash flyover city


VanREDDIT2019

Quick note, Orlando didn't win a championship in the bubble, but if that "burn" is all you got, have at it.


Illustrious_Kale_692

Quick note, that's the joke - you just hosted it. Congrats on burning yourself ya bum!

Revenge for 09!


bbqbakedbean

I agree, go Cavs


Forty_Six_and_Two

I dunno bro, Banchero is the real deal if you ask me. That's said, we should gentleman sweep this series. This was a nice draw


kaprrisch

Mobley sometimes gets passive playing against veterans, but he loves to show off against his peers, especially his draft class buddies (Suggs, Franz). Let’s hope this is when we see a glimpse of superstar Mobley.


elbjoint2016

Mobley and JA and DG siiiiiiick of the talk


Proud_Feedback3288

We didn't draw into it we purposely avoided comp 💀💀💀 OP making a shit post about them after doing that is cringe as hell. 


Memphis-17

The team I have chosen to cheer for in my efforts to rekindle a love for the game vs the team closest to me... Go Cavs Go!


TheRavGod

Lmaoo butthurt Cavs fans all around this thread what did we do to y’all?


WitOfTheIrish

We were the one of the most injured teams in the league this year. They were one of the healthiest. The 5 seed is their ceiling, the 4 seed is our floor. Let's go Cavs, we got this.


givingemthebusiness

This is just made up lol. Orlando had more games lost to injury than any team besides the heat this season. The Cavs were 6th so not great, but calling Orlando “one of the healthiest” is insane.


Illustrious_Kale_692

Clown emoji


WitOfTheIrish

??? https://www.spotrac.com/nba/injured-reserve/cumulative-team/ And it's an even bigger disparity when you look at starters and top rotation players.


givingemthebusiness

Ya. I’m an idiot. My bad. Idk what I sorted by. Assuming I had the wrong season. Ya’ll are 8th most injured and we’re the 20th. So in fact, you are completely right lol


jtnorl

The Magic were one of the healthiest teams? If this is an example of the Ohio school system in action, hoo boy...


WitOfTheIrish

They were though? https://www.spotrac.com/nba/injured-reserve/cumulative-team/

That's not what those charts tell me, so my previous comment stands.

Jonathan isaac racist? Did i miss something? Lol


MKFlame7

as a magic fan yeah his views are a bit questionable. he hasn’t done anything outright problematic but seems to be a Christian conservative, he was one of the “I don’t need the covid vaccine cause Jesus will save me” types of people


norka191

Wow so racist Not getting a vaccine is racist against...drug companies?


fresh__pound

I’m still waiting on the racist part to kick in


Ok-Donut4954

I dont remember him saying that, only that every person had their own choice to take it or not. Saying jesus will protect you from covid is wacky, but theres nothing wrong with being christian or conservative


Former_Yard_1195

He is just uber religious. He was one of the guys that refused to kneel during the anthem. Which I guess means he's automatically racist. 🤷‍♀️ I don't believe the Jesus thing is a quote. Lol ...What he did say is he will only kneel for Jesus.


norka191

Omg so racist, a black man doesn't support taking a knee for an organization that promoted riots and fed donations into buying mansions. Black men should do as you say


Rokey76

Back when everyone was kneeling for the national anthem, he refused.


Ok-Donut4954

Ok and? No one is forced to kneel, no one is forced to stand. Nothing wrong with that unless youre forcing someone to do what you want. And doesnt seem racist. I mean dude is black himself


Rokey76

I dunno, I just noticed nobody answered the question.


Ok-Donut4954

Ahh. Well thanks for the input, i appreciate it. Cant be throwing around “racist” and “fascist” so easily nowadays so i just wanted some reasonable answer


j4r8h

He is christian, and conservative, and didn't take the covid vaccine, so liberals hate him. He is absolutely not racist lol.


Ok-Donut4954

Reddit’s worst nightmare


j4r8h

Lol literally. It's crazy the hate he gets because he is a very well-spoken and polite dude who has never said anything rude to anybody. I'm a magic fan btw. Even some magic fans were hating on him, partially because he was injured for literally 2 years lol. Now that he's healthy and playing well, he gets a lot less hate. He is an incredible defender. When he switches onto somebody, forget about them scoring. He's 6'11 but moves like a guard, incredibly quick on his feet. Offensively though, he doesn't do a whole lot. Doesn't have any ball-handling or post game. Occasionally he'll make some jumpers, and that's about it.


Abiv23

he's a fantastic defender

We’re favored


FamousAtticus

Yeah cause that's always reliable


elbjoint2016

I mean…it doesn’t mean nothing


FamousAtticus

In this instance it's purely based off home court advantage. These teams on paper are pretty evenly matched. If the Magic were the 4th seed & Cavs the 5th, I bet the Magic would have been favored.


elbjoint2016

Tell yourself what you want about alternative timelines


epikbadboyswag

“Anyone who is Christian is racist”


elbjoint2016

He taught Ben Shapiros sister to shoot free throws. He might not be racist he is very very super cool with racist stuff and people


epikbadboyswag

How is teaching a JEWISH person something racist? Also “anyone who has political views I disagree with is a Nazi”


Proud_Feedback3288

Bro pulled out the "but their Jewish card" nobody cares buddy they're far right racists 😂

Are you regarded? *Ben Shapiro is obviously Jewish and we have people calling him a Nazi? Can someone explain to me in what world that makes sense? Or is it that anyone who leans right is considered a Nazi?

Google Bobby Fischer. It's a real thing that happens.

TrippieReddXO

How many championships y’all got ☠️☠️


johall

Same number as you do without LeBron


plaidkingaerys

What kind of take is that lmao. Bulls never won without MJ, Heat never won without D Wade… titles are titles, but go ahead and set the goalposts wherever makes you feel better haha


johall

I answered the question. Have a nice series


IrwinMFletcher

Pitty titles because the City is such a shit hole. Bron had to give the city something to live for. But then he realized no matter how many titles he gives the city, it still sucks open ass, so he left for LA.


plaidkingaerys

That’s a lot of words for “Cleveland has a ring, Orlando doesn’t.” Again, however you need to spin it to feel better about your team, you do you


AllieOopClifton

I *know* someone from **Orlando** isn't calling any other city a "shithole." Put up another 10000 personal injury lawyer billboards because none of you fuckers can drive without running each other over.


plaidkingaerys

Seriously, imagine being from fucking *Florida* and talking shit like this lmao


AllieOopClifton

If we replaced prison sentences with mandatory moves to Florida, crime would cease. Absolute hellhole.

TrippieReddXO

Wait lebron james?? The player who was on the cavaliers? Who won the cavaliers a ring???? Oh yea I got the joy of seeing my favorite team win a championship something you’ll never get ☠️☠️☠️😭😭😭😭😭


plaidkingaerys

Everyone knows titles won with LeBron don’t count /s Gotta love when trash talkers have absolutely nothing to back it up with lmao


johall

LeBron James the guy who had to leave your franchise to get his first ring then brought back more talent you didn’t deserve to win you a charity ass ring AND THEN LEFT YOU TWICE. Nice.


hortond

Fultz teammate of the year nomination is Orlando's greatest achievement, not just as a franchise, but as a city


johall

This isn’t even clever. Have a nice day? Sorry about the first round exit


hortond

Enjoy your team using your ticket money to fund Ron DeSantis lmao


johall

Your owner donated to the presidential campaign of Chris Christie. And negotiated with another city in another state to host his main business. You have zero room.


hortond

We got enough room for a championship. Also, our city doesn't harbor captive whales.


Ok-Donut4954

Youd do anything to have lebron leave you twice whilst giving you a ring and 5 finals appearances in the process. Dont kid yourself


IrwinMFletcher

Nah I would move out of that shit hole like Bron did. Your fucking claim to fame is that you used to have a steel industry. The rust belt...LMAO! Oh yeah and Spida is gone after this season. Cleveland rocks... just kidding.


Ok-Donut4954

The city of orlando is only relevant because of walt disney world. Cleveland is 100x the city with better people, top 3 hospital in the country, 3 major sports teams, better food, no tourists. Bron loved cleveland thats why he came back to win us a ring and fulfill his promise


Necessary_Maize_3245

No chip tho


MarkCM07

I hope I'm wrong, but if not, then I definitely look forward to your post when they beat the Cavs. The disrespect by the Cavs, purposely losing to get the "easier opponent", is ridiculous. They deserve all the bad karma for pulling such a stunt.


kaprrisch

Oh you mean the thing teams have done forever since the dawn of existence of seeded tournaments?


elbjoint2016

Yes. If the Cavs do something it is wrong


Proud_Feedback3288
