Buy or Sell: The Orlando Magic can upset Miami or Chicago in the playoffs

[DeadlyDynasty]

even without the aid of injuries...

Sell. Their team consists of the NBA version of the black quarterback surrounded by a bunch of 3 point chuckers. Gimmick team and offense.

[Hoops Czar]

2-1 vs Miami tbh.

[baseline bum]

Sell. They got beat in 6 by a shitty Hawks team and Dwight Howard is no Hakeem Olajuwon, so you're not winning shit running a 94 Rockets offense in Orlando.

[Hoops Czar]

Buy Miami; sell Chicago

[DeadlyDynasty]

I think the Heat would beat them in 5 (maybe 6), but I still don't trust Chicago...I think they would ultimately win, but it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if ORL beat them.

[HarlemHeat37]

Chicago is much deeper, more physical, and have a plethora of weapons they can rely on whether it be in the starting lineup or off the bench. Chicago in 5.


Yeah, because Chicago has been just a great regular season team over the last two years.

Bulls 3-0 vs the Heatles... that is all!


A bitch-slap to his teammates and the city of Cleveland. Lebron will be put in his place in the WCF's against Chicago.


With HarlemHeat as my witness, Chicago will trump Miami in the ECF's.

I would talk HH, for someone who was jizzen his pants when the Spurs traded for Jefferson. :lol

[Hoops Czar]

Tbh, Chicago played down to the level of its competition. It's happened before in sports.

Pretty much all spurfans did (at least the vast majority, anyways). Not everybody picked a PG-lead team over the superfriends though:lol

Orlando can get hot, hit a bunch of threes and win some games but not a series against Miami or Chicago...

I have been wrong about plenty of shit, but nothing as bad as posting in virtually every Heat thread, predicting they would lose to a Rose-led team:lol..

Not only predicting they would lose to Chicago, but predicting they would lose to the old-ass Celtics, too:lol..

Tbh, I just post in Heat threads that you post in because your so arrogant and smug when it comes To Lefail and Miami, that its borderline obnoxious.

[Spurs da champs]

Honestly Miami isn't that scary & neither is Chicago, it's not impossible for Orlando to beat either of them in a 7 game series.

[ElNono]

Whoever comes out of the West will bitchslap any of them anyways, par the course

Miami should have this title on lock, if they can't capitalize it's time to ship Bosh's ass out.

76er's going to rep the east this year.

[Proxy]

Sell both... Orlando is just a disappointment in general.

[baseline bum]

The same Magic team got destroyed by a lousy Atlanta team in a series where Howard put up 27 and 15.5 on 63% shooting. Now they're going to beat one of the top 3 teams in the league? How much more can Howard do than what he put up last playoffs? That team is garbage and Dwight fucked himself badly.

[LkrFan]

Sell. They got beat in 6 by a shitty Hawks team and Dwight Howard is no Hakeem Olajuwon, so you're not winning shit running a 94 Rockets offense in Orlando.

'94 is still a sore spot? Admiral is that you? :downspin:

[mercos]

I will buy that they CAN beat either team. Howard is going to get his numbers. They live and die by the three. If they get hot from beyond the arc they can beat anyone. I do not believe that they will, but they can.

[Jacob1983]

I would say buy. Being the number 1 seed doesn't mean shit anymore in the NBA playoffs. It's more of a curse than blessing. Orlando could get on a roll and surprise both teams in the playoffs.
