The Orlando Magic Thread

[codypet]

What the heck is going on with the Magic?

[OrlandoMagic3]

magic didnt play dwight or rafer much..hedo got hurt as he was carrying the team for the win...we had gortat and foyle playin on the court AT THE SAME TIME..i think we are just resting players and getting the bench some game experience together.

way to go magic last night! they should have played that hard against boston and maybe they would have done it in 5 or 6 instead of 7 games regardless of the win, they played great against the cavs

woohoo goo magic!

[bulldogger]

That was a great comeback last night. I have been surprised they have done as well as they have since Jameer hurt his shoulder.

[bulldogger]

Woo Hoo!!! Nuff said.

[mgsports]

Nelson could be back for the Finals.

[demon]

Nelson could be back for the Finals.

Where did you hear that?

I'd be very surprised if he comes back. He hasn't played in months and throwing him in during the Finals is unlikely. I haven't even read that he has practiced with the team.

With tonight's loss of the Celtics, the Magic are currently in 1st place in the Eastern Conference. Despite some disappointing stretches in offense, this team is looking good. Let's hope they can bring home a win against the Heat next week.

[prahaboheme]

Is anyone else entirely frustrating by the Magic these days? There Western conference games have been dismal at best. Even their win against LAC was practically sqaundered in the 4th. This season is quickly disappointing.

This is great news.

The Magic were red hot last night -- this gives me hope for the Celtics game tomorrow afternoon. Something tells me Nelson's starting days are coming to a quick end...

[prahaboheme]

Talk of Dwight Howard leaving the Magic for the Lakers has given me that sinking feeling of the days of Shaq. How eerily reminiscent it would be to have a rising team (one of the elite teams in the league now) lose their star player for the 2nd time in franchise history just when things are starting to turn around.

I hope I am wrong -- Dwight is definitely not Shaq, but the allure of a legacy team like the Lakers may be too much to turn down.

[F-L-A]

Dwight isn't going to L.A. ... unless he wants to join the worst franchise in sports. The Lakers won't have any money when he's a free agent. Not to mention Kobe is already declining. He'll be nearly retired by then.

[prahaboheme]

Anyone else catch that amazing win over Miami tonight?

ORL 99 MIA 96

Single greatest comeback in franchise history.

[jack]

2nd greatest according to TNT last night, but the greatrest in my mind. Normally I would have turned the game off in disgust in the 2nd quarter, but after the last Magic Heat game, I had hope.

[prahaboheme]

Call me crazy but I'm still holding out hope for a playoff run. When the Magic are hot, they are hot.

[tennis32801]

I hope there is no let down against chicago tonight. Go Magic!

[prahaboheme]

Any Playoffs predications for the Magic?

[bulldogger]

Beat Atlanta and drop like bricks.

[bulldogger]

Geez! Perhaps I will need to take that back. How about just DROP LIKE BRICKS?

[prahaboheme]

This has been hard to watch.

[bic]

Is there anything in Orlando that hasn't been derailed?
