Their paths since have been radically different. When the two teams meet Friday in Orlando -- 20 seasons after coming into the league together -- they find themselves in dramatically different spots. The Magic are contenders, hoping for their third trip to the NBA Finals. The Timberwolves are struggling, much like they were during their inaugural season. The Timberwolves have been beyond the first round of the playoffs just once, losing in the Western Conference final of 2004. The Magic, blessed by centers like Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard, are expecting to get past the first round for the fifth time this spring. The Magic (50-22) are expecting to be contenders for the next decade, or as long as Howard stays healthy and in Orlando. The Timberwolves (14-58) once again are looking to retool this summer. The Magic have beaten the Wolves the last three meetings. They won earlier this season in Minnesota when Rashard Lewis had 21 points and Matt Barnes 17. HAWKS 86, MAGIC 84: Josh Smith dunked in a follow shot at the buzzer, beating the Magic for the first time this season. Vince Carter had tied the game with a three-pointer with nine seconds remaining, setting up Smith's heroics. When Joe Johnson missed an off-balance shot, Smith converted the miss when no one blocked him off the boards. Dwight Howard had 19 points, 24 rebounds and four blocked shots. Johnson led the Hawks with 17 points. Quote To Note: "Our guys on the floor were doing the same thing as the guys on the bench. They were just watching."

I agree with everything you said M4G1C...especially the bolded part.

I saw the show, but I did not hear the part about needing to save the game or the detriment part, but what they basically said was that they wanted to see another Magic Johnson/Larry Bird type of Finals. It's not about the teams. It is about 2 players (Kobe and LeBron) It was the consensus of the panel that this is a match up that needs to happen. Mike Lupica said that he loves the Magic, but the league OWES it to the NBA to have the Kobe/Lebron matchup like the Magic Johnson/Larry Bird NBA finals matchup.

How can Wade get away with yelling at the refs and not get a tech called?

I would like to take the CAV'S vs. MAGIC on APRIL 11. I'VE ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON IT. *FYI, I know I'm ahead of "Game Thread Sign Up Thingy #7.*

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Drew was with the Magic when T-mac played for us. Drew whined a lot about lack of playing time, and T-mac decided to not give anymore effort. . .and the rest is history.

The interviewer (Paul?) said to Dwight that he believe that was the first time Dwight played an entire quarter half without coming out of the game. Dwight said (in his Stan voice)that the coach told him that since he did not have any fouls, he should stay in the game.

I will take Miami on March 18 please.
