Our odds are improving... Also, I sent Hollinger an e-mail (I'm sure it was one of several pointing out the same thing) because the "Record Alert" was showing the chances of Cleveland, Lakers, and Boston for ending the season with 72 or more wins. Boston was shown as 0.0%, while the Magic, according to the information on his page, actually has a chance of winning 72 games (or more). Today, his page is updated. Thank you Hollinger.

This team is looking pretty exciting and deep now. I wish I could watch them play lol. Trust me, NBA league pass is very much worth it. I have been able to watch pretty much every cavs game because of it, and when they are not on, you still won't be bored usually because there is almost always a game on. The 200$ for a year is worth it. If you break it down, it is like 18$ a month or something like that (I did that off the top of my head so it could be way off). Agreed, I just bought it for the $19 a month, which is about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Jerm! 1 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 Big props to our players and bench for stepping up, but let's not forget STAN THE MAN VAN GUNDY! He has kept this team serious through the weak games and the tough ones. Definitly one of the best things to happen to us last season. SVG our Savior!

That's what I thinking when our bench contributed a whopping TWO FREAKING POINTS versus Denver. Seriously, if our starters start hitting a slump then we're screwed. But yes, GO MAGIC. We are doing well... so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Svanxx 30 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Not the biggest power ranking, like ESPN, etc., but they give us a #1 and don't seem like complete morons. quote: 1. Orlando Magic (33-8) - Seven straight wins including road victories over all three Western Conference division leaders (San Antonio, L.A. Lakers and Denver). Four players in Orlando's rotation - Jameer Nelson, Courtney Lee, J.J. Redick and Rashard Lewis - are shooting over 40 percent from beyond the arc, and Dwight Howard leads the league in rebounding (14.1) and blocked shots (3.2). This team is for real, and the rest of the league has been put on notice. http://www.athlonsports.com/pro-basketball/16101/nba-power-rankings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Anderson 4 President 9 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 #1 on NBA.com, it's about time right? quote: Pace: 91.3 (10), Off: 111.8 (5), Def: 102.4 (3)Doc Rivers: "Right now, there's nobody in the NBA playing better than Orlando." It's tough to argue with the man. On their four-game, seven-day trip, the Magic beat all three Western Conference division winners and set an NBA record with 23 threes in Sacramento. Doc gets to see for himself on Thursday (8 p.m. ET, TNT). http://www.nba.com/powerrankings/ Seeing Orlando finally at #1 is nice because they actually deserve it at this point in time, instead of them putting us at 1 before we really earned it. I fully expect Stein and ESPN to follow suit, no matter how much it makes him cringe to type it. Congratulations Orlando. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Anderson 4 President 9 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Stein's rankings are taking forever again today. I bet he's asking Chad Ford for suggestions on how to possibly justify leaving us at 2 this week while also managing to insult at least 3 elements about our team.
