View Full Version : It's so obvious to me that Orlando will win a title

The Lakers are pure shit and IMO are the weakest of all teams left.

Second from the bottom is Boston.

Then Cleveland.

Orlando is a matchup nightmare for Cleveland in spite of the conventional wisdom that Turkoglu was the main X-factor in Orlando's ECF victory last year. Also I think as a club they have a deep-rooted hatred for Cleveland.

By the way, I took my mom out for lunch today at a sports bar and we watched the last half of the Bos/Cle game. How far has NBA officiating slipped? Cle gets an enormous boost from both non- and phantom calls and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking retard. Normally I'd never sympathize with Boston but what I saw today was so atrocious that to not feel for them is to sit by idly while a great sport devolves to the level of WWE.

Had that officiating been fair CLE would have lost by 20. If the whole series had been called fairly BOS would be up 3-0 and that's a fact jack.

A healthy Jameer Nelson balances out the offense Hedo brought to the team last year and he has a better chemistry with Dwight Howard. Vince Carter will be the x-factor....he has to make himself into a serious offensive threat. I liked the Matt Barnes pickup a lot and he's bringing to the Magic what he brought to Golden State during that "Magical" run in 2007.

It looks good until you see Mamba dropping clutch shots on that ass.

son if Gasol isn't having a good game the Lakers are fucked. selfish ass Kobe AKA "the glorified Paul Pierce" won't lead his team to shit without a big man holding his hand every step of the way.

Pat Riley. Magic are not winning it.

For all the "Master of Panic" talk regarding Stan, he got the Magic to regroup from several potentially catostrophic losses in each series they played leading up to the Finals, and despite the series tally they were very much in the series with the Lakers.

They'll have to get their first, like the other remaining teams, but they're a threat.

Still a good team, but they indeed became mentally inept at the sight of D-Wade beyond Game 3.

Orlando looks like the best team in the NBA currently, but than again wasnt Cleveland steamrolling through everyone last year as well? How'd that turn out.

It's possible but they haven't played any contenders yet. How they play against Cleveland or Boston will be the first time they played a good team. Atlanta is nothing compared to them.

I was thinking the same thing to myself earlier and this very well could wind up being a repeat of that situation.....the main difference is that Cleveland was a one-man team in essence. The Magic have had arguably their best player in foul trouble for much of the playoffs and have built up leads, whereas the Cavs needed LeBron to get the ball rolling before they could runaway with games.

Magic will win the title.

They will go on to sweep the Hawks.

They will go on to beat the Cavs in 6.

Then last but not least they will beat the Suns in 6.

The only thing the Magic have shown in this year's playoffs is that the Eastern Conference is about as talented as the WNBA. They haven't had to play a single interesting game all playoffs thus far. They might make it to the Finals, but they haven't proven shit. Let's see how they fare against the Cavs before proclaiming them anything.

Myself, I would be scared to death if my team relied on Vince Casper -- er, Carter -- in a big playoff series.

Van Gundy is a bit of a master of panic. Of the remaining teams, the Magic are the worst team when it comes to finishing off close games.

Magic are great when all's going well and they're up 20; but when it gets close, they don't execute.

Shaq said it, so it must be true.

The truth is, SVG is a really good coach.

Your theory should be tested in the next round with this new group of Magic players that have been added for this year's playoff run, but one thing still holds true: No one on the team is afraid to take a big shot. Having Jameer at the point raises the team's overall basketball IQ and instills a calming presence along with cool characters like Lewis, so I think that will aid them in executing down the stretch.
