What will or What can the Orlando Magic do to win? Because I thought the game had to be played first to declare championship instead of this no brainer mentality. Win or Lose This has been a very good season for the Magic they guys have extended Their season and have a chance to get some good publicity recognition and respectability as a team as a top notch team not only in the Eastern Conference When the talk about basketball a lot of people do not evaluate the win loss from the regular season as they would by what was done in the playoffs whats done in the playoffs always overshadow what was done in the regular season.For example people have forgotten about all the other teams who made the playoffs and more focusing on Game one of the of the finals so we have had a good season and we can review our good and bad and see how successful we are as a team and breed off of what we have and make our necessary adjustments so that success can continue to breed off of success. The best thing for our team to go about to winning this series is the mentality and the way you approach this series game in and game out no one on the team should ever think that they can not win you have to believe in yourselves that you can win and carry that with you 24/7 during the playoffs that way it will show up on the court every outing and helps with focus and cutting down mental mistakes that leads to turnovers and we no a team cannot win making turnovers one is to many so let's not try to make even the first one.If we lose we do not want to lose because we shot our own selves in the foot. Why everyone has counted you out I bet the L.A. haven't counted you out before even one game has been played for the championship they would not want to say anything that would cause to give you motivational energy that would mean they would have to play harder in order for them to win at no point do you let them feel that it will be a cruise for them that way you as a team can fell good because who ever wins the other team no that it was not just earned it was well earned. Really from what I am salvaging from the talk is that L.A. is favored to win because they have more experience as a team and in the playoffs and that is one of the factors that caused us to lose in the 1995 playoffs because we did not prepare ourselves mentally because the team was talented and they were riding high all through the playoffs and to lose it like they did cause them to be defeated mentally because they lost momentum and the lost hope and confidence to the Rockets so they could not bounce back because they could not erase it out of their minds and to make much worse was it made them fearful because they felt like that is what cause them to win the game sheer luck and momentum and not because they was a good team and could win with their skills and talent when put together and played as a team. That is why if we prepare mentally and stay focus on our goal from the beginning of the season.Mentally prepared 24/7 all while the playoffs are played good preparation is what we need to not only have a good chance of winning but allows us to have a better chance of winning if the 1995 team was mentally prepared as a team they would have forgotten enough about soon as the game was over as quick as possible and ready to play game 2 in the best of seven whether you win at home or lose at home we have show up to play and win the remaining game. When you are mentally prepared you still think you can win as a team even if you are down 3 games to none in stead of feeding into the no team has come from three games down and win they score is 3 to 1 we can see we did not win because of sheer desperation we fell we could win and that why we came out and played hard just as we have done in all the previous games of the series and we will continue to play hard and no doubt to the media that you are well prepared as a team to have that kind of mental toughness of play. They say the Lakers have been playing laid back and even though the lakers are more experience we could win if we out hustle the lakers and let them know that we want it more than they do and let them know can they not see the effort. So we have to use that to our advantage them not playing together as a team and not playing as well as they could you cannot go into the playoffs with to much confidence and still playing that way in the finals keep them out of sink let Kobe earn his baskets so to speak and let the supporting cast win it for them if need be. With the 1995 no one could out hustle bo outlaw on the magic's team if the question ever entered your mind how was he so valuable for the team you would see how he would hustle for a rebound and play defense not for his scoring but for his good defense, rebounding and hustle. and he would reward himself with a well earn big Lumberjack size stack of pancakes from one of the pancake restaurants.So we go into game one ready to win because they not playing as a team yet a victory is a victory they knew the contest schedule. Let,s not shoot ourselves with the live by the three die by the 3 pointer we will have a 12 or 15 point lead and try to increase our lead by continuing to miss the 3 and the other team has demenished our lead without hardly breaking a sweat we have a lead and keep trying to make three pointers and in stead of increasing our lead has decrease let them make the threes they are the one's need the three. Charles Barkley said their are two kinds of three's and I thought he was going to say the kind you make to silence the crowd or +get the crowd involved or a bad time for the three point shot and a wise time to take the three and hopefully make it or when you get fouled in the act of shooting the basketball and making the basket and a free throw but he said while commenting on this particular game and he said the two threes were you can pass the ball in to Dwight Howard and he passes it to someone for the three of you can just take the threes and we come down and just take the three.

It's pretty simple. Dwight Howard has to stay out of foul trouble and their 3 point shooters have to hit a high percentage of their 3's. If those two things happen then Orlando has a great chance of winning. I think Dwight will be very successful against L.A.'s soft centers, Gasol and Bynum. But it depends on how the refs call this series. If they call it tight then Howard will probably get into foul trouble. If they let them play then I think Howard will have his way. Kobe will get his but I think Orlando has a better overall team. Orlando in 6.

Orlando has dug themselves into a DEEP hole here. Down 0-2 and playing three in Orlando. They are going to need to win ALL three in Orlando and then win on the road with the schedule a 2-3-2 and Orlando being the road team. Tonight's game (Game 2) was almost a must-win for them to pull it out. If they are to win they are going to have to win in L.A. where indeed they did win both games they played LA this year but it is going to be a tall order. Unfortunately I say LA in 6 and if it goes to a game 7... Orlando has a shot; I just don't think they can win 4 in a row against the Lakers. Thanks Zelo

Yes, this is the best response and thanks for sharing your comments. I think I touch on some really good observations as well and I hope you can read all of it over again and see how close or far off I was about how their mental approach would be a big key to their success and to be able to bounce back from a loss as you stated it takes time to build this and it starts with having the heart for it is the core of the nuculus that championships or centered, I am glad we got our authentic comments before the best of seven got underway instead of posting this same material when the series was won it would not be effective as much. Have a fantastic day! and do not forget game two the magic have to focus back on winning a game two to come back with one win will do for now.
