jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 When announcer Paul Porter urges fans to cheer "Your Orlando Magic" tonight during the season-opener against the Atlanta Hawks at Amway Arena, never will the phrase ring more true. For the next four years or so, as the club is currently and contractually constructed, this is YOUR Magic. Sports teams with rare stability talk about their "window of opportunity" to contend or win a title. This is Orlando's. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orl-magic29a08oct29,0,257471.story Inside the Orlando Magic's practice facility hang three conference and division championship banners, but none celebrating last season's stirring run to the Southeast Division crown. Advertisement Instead, there are T-shirts for players and staff boldly touting the team as "2008-09 NBA CHAMPIONS." Clearly, the goals of simply winning a division title and a playoff series have changed. The Magic might not be the championship pick of many experts, but the team feels as it starts the season tonight, a truly special run is ahead. "There are some people out there doubting us and believe that we were a fluke last season, but we believe in ourselves as a team," Magic point guard Jameer Nelson said. "This is a special group that we have. I believe that we're contenders regardless of what anybody says. That's what we all believe." http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20081029/SPORTS16/810290325/1002/SPORTS The time to be working for the rings is now. We are in the best situation we've been in a long time. The re-building days are over. THE TIME IS NOW !!! We've grown up as a team and there's only one way to go and that's to the top. LET"S GO MAGIC !!!!!!!!! Enjoy our Championship run...JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
