After suffering through the loss of some star name players (Shaq, Penny Hardaway, and now Grant Hill going to the Suns), the Orlando Magic just beat the league leading Boston Celtics on a buzzer-beater from Turkoglu.
They are in first place in their division and look to be a really good team this year. Is this the year they go all the way?

I really liked the 3 point buzzer beater shot by Turkoglu for the Magic to beat the Celtics. I loved it on Martin Luther King night when the Magic beat Detroit at Amway Arena.I thought it was a bad game last Friday when Detroit beat the Magic at the Palace.I think in the playoffs the magic will have a tough time getting by Detroit so I think if the Pistons play the magic in the playoffs the pistons will eliminate the magic. I do think that whoever the magic play in the first round of the playoffs that they will be able to advance. I really think the magic are a good team but I think they need to mature before they can win an nba championship,of course that is my hope that one day the magic will win a championship but I do not think this is their year. Of course in the playoffs the magic might surprise me and beat Detroit to advance. If that happened I would be thrilled. The magic were in the finals one year when Shaq and Hardaway played for them of course I did not watch the magic play back then because I was not a magic fan yet but I am now.

I have watched ever since Turkoglu came into the league and he is 1000% better of a player than he was. Howard was mature coming right out of the gate. What they need to do is know how to sustain a lead. How many games have they been up by double digits at the half to just squeak by (and the loss to Detroit was close).

They are playing in a weak conference so that is going to allow them to go deep into the playoffs. Once they meet the Western teams (Dallas, Utah, Phoenix) they are going to have a TOUGH time.

People are saying the best team right now is Cleveland but even they don't have a record as good as Orlando. We'll have to see how they hold up through the season. Heck I might go to Amway arena and actually go SEE a game for the first time in years.

And how can I forget New Orleans in the West... wasn't thinking... they have the best record out there I believe and 9-1 in their last ten games. Again like the Magic we'll have to see how they hold up too.

The magic suck, with only a little luck theu beat a better team. With all that talent 300 million under the cap, it's a wonder G. Hill did not leave flaming tire trakcs when he got the word he had been traded. The magic will not win the require 49 games to make the playoffs/


myLot reputation of 95/100. zeloguy (2393)  5 years ago

The Magic SUCK? You have got to be kidding me....

1. They have a .633 winning percentage
2. Have one of the most dynamic players in Dwight Howard
3. Have one of the best 3-point shooters in Turkoglu
4. Have already beaten the best team in the NBA this year (Boston)
5. Have lost only 8 games in Amway arena (2nd best in the Eastern Conference)
6. Are 8-2 in their last 10 games (first in the Eastern conference and second in the NBA behind Utah [9-1])
7. They have won four in a row (tied with Detroit for best in Eastern Conference)
8. They are 8-2 in their conference (only behind Washington [6-2])

And they suck... you better look at this team again.

Do I think they are a NBA Chamionship caliber team... no. There are other teams in the Western Division that can easily beat them. I do think they have game enough to beat Boston who is the best team in the NBA, they have already proven that they can do that... on a last second buzzer-beater or not.

But they SUCK... un uh no way.

I like Orlando and they are really a contender. Once again they have a dominating center and unlike before when they have Shaq, Dwight have better players around him. So I say they have a chance as long as everyone stays healthy.


myLot reputation of 95/100. zeloguy (2393)  4 years ago

Well after all was said and done the Magic had a great run and I have to say I am really proud of what the team accomplished this year. There are obviously still some holes in the team but if you look at the regular season I do believe they have more wins against the Celtics than any other team... could be wrong about that.
Congrats to them again and may they come out firing next year.!thumbup

Thanks for the response

happy Zelo happy

I hope 2011 to 2012 is the season of the magic to win the nba title, their season starts Dec.16 2011 because of the blackout a lot of games earlier in the season were canceled and negotiation talks in the nba.
