    Apparently, Dwight Howard is his b*stard brother...


    Anyhow, I don't think these guys have a complete enough team this season to compete with DET and BOS. Do you?

    Actually, they have a solid inside out game. I can see them beating Cleveland in 7, or maybe even the Pistons, but I don't think they can beat the Celtics.

    Which is who I am guessing they will be against in the semis at this point.

    Orlando is good. They will go deep into the playoffs.

    Unless they meet Detroit, Boston or Cleveland LOL

    The Magic don't deserve any more respect than they get. If it weren't for their hot start to the season (which happened because their backcourt shot the ball WAY over their heads), they would be in 4th place where they belong. The Magic will be knocked out in the 2nd round by the Pistons. Put it in the bank. Until they get new a starting PG & SG, they are not a Finals contender. Giving Jameer Nelson the long term contract was a big mistake and obviously Keith Bogans doesn't cut it at SG.

    One caveat: If the Cavs pass them up, the Magic will be knocked out by the Celtics.

    [Rant]I don't know what gaves Rashard the right to talk trash. He sucked this year. You would think after getting out of Ray Allen's shadow, and going to a team without any legitimate scoring threat, he would thrive as the league scoring leader. But the guy scores less than Hedo Freaking Turkoglu!!!

    So shut up Rashard! You killed my fantasy team![/Rant]

    Turkoglu is the only one who has been consistent for them and has really worked hard all year long.Lewis and Dwight have to stop talking and get it done on the court.

    lol.

    I don't think Orlando is going anywhere to be honest. I mean they will most probably get out of the first round but afte that, like you said, if they meet any of those teams it's over. I think they could actually beat Cleveland though. Just maybe.

    you could say that about 98 percent of the league.

    True, but 98 percent don't make the max.

    Not true. The Rockets are 1/30 or 3.3% of the league, and none of our guys are overpaid.

    Orlando could easily be dangerous in the playoffs. They have three guys that could go off for 20 on any given night and a decent compliment of role players.

    I think they're obviously a few steps below Boston and Detroit but I still think they're better than Cleveland. I wasn't impressed with Cleveland before or after that big trade. Granted, the LeBron Show alone was enough to get them to the NBA Finals last year but I don't see a repeat of that kind fluke occurence/luck. Detroit melted down last year big time.
