Orlando Magic - Why Aren't We Showing Them Love?

[Lunatic]

I ain't a fan (neutral) but why aren't we showing them love? I was just sitting back watching the game with them and the Hornets on right now (great game thus far) and started thinking about it.

There record is only 1 game worse than the Lakers (who gets all the love - I ain't even talkin' on here, analyst wise). That's a cool fact.

Dwight Howard is leading the league in Rebounds and Blocks and is averaging over 20PPG. With a still developing arsenal of moves, he is still dominating and that's all that really matters. If he ever develops some better moves around the basket and becomes a bit better FT shooter, he's gonna be even scarier. Plus his footwork has improved this year.

Hedo Turkoglu is still that dude, can go off at any time and is clutch in the 4th quarter. Rashard Lewis can be said the same things, and both these guys can score at will and nail the 3 quite efficiently.

The big question here was the point guard posistion. Well Nelson is playing the best basketball of his career, is really having a tremendous season. He is proving he really can be the leader many thought he would be in College.

Plus they got some great role players on this team (Pietrus).

Another impressive stat is can't nobody come here and talk about them playing in the Eastern Conference - They've played their last 10 games against Western Conference teams and have won 9 of them. Game #11 (of 12 in total - that's crazy) is on right now and it looks like it's about to be 10/11 wins in games (all in a row) against western conference teams.

The only stat that bothers me about them is as a team, they are last in the league in FT%. That could hurt them down the stretch and in close games come playoff time.

Discuss.

LOL keep telling yourself that. But Orlando is looking pretty damn good, I can see them having a good playoff run this year.

didn't they beat LA last week?

about the same record....just 1% of the hype


id say my top 5 teams are boston, cleveland, orlando, LA and portland/denver

[wcsoldier]

they're a good team and have a great record ... thing is they live and die with the 3 ball .. that's why you cannot consider em in the same class as the C's , Cavs and Lakers in a long term perspective ..

Yao ain't better either though; nobody is. I know y'all trying to get Nik in here lol, I ain't tryna start no shit, let's not turn this into a 5 page argument thread..i'm personally just stating my opinion.

I guess; I still say Howard > Yao

A healthy Yao is not an argument, it's an oxymoron. I'm tired of excuses for players who are simply injured all the time. Injury is a part of them, not rare bad luck or anything. It's a part of their game, basically. Notice how many players play close to 80 games throughout their whole career, while others are injured all the time.
