Hollinger finally fall in love with the Magic...

It's getting less so after watching Orlando dismantle another opponent while the Lakers continue to scuffle along. The Magic stayed within half a game of the Lakers at 22-6, after Monday's 113-81 blowout of Golden State, and they're coming off consecutive wins over the Lakers and Spurs. Orlando also is tied with three other teams for the league lead with 10 road wins.

 

The Magic are now within less than 0.1 of the Lakers in the current Power Rankings, and finish only one win behind L.A. in today's Playoff Odds, so certainly they have a case.

Just imagine the lovefest once we dispatch the Hornets.

 

I know we all want playoff success for this team, first and foremost. And hopefully, playoff success is what this team will receive. But in the meantime, it is extremely gratifying, as a Magic fan, to see the team enjoying such as an impressive run in the regular season.

 

To think that folks were freaking out when we lost to the Hawks and Grizzlies to start the season.

Oddly, Nelson has done this in part by going to the basket much less often. His free throw rate is barely half of what it was a year ago, while he's taking far more midrange jumpers and canning them at a ridiculous rate -- he's 51-for-87 so far (58.6 percent). As with Memphis' O.J. Mayo (see Insider Gems) he's unlikely to keep canning them at quite such a spectacular rate; but even if his numbers drop off a bit, Nelson grades out as one of the league's most improved players, and a huge reason the Magic are threatening to move into the NBA's upper crust.

 

I don't think this is entirely accurate. Jameer is getting into the paint & breaking down the D far more than he ever has. He might not be going to the line or all the way to the basket more, but he's living in the paint, and he's never done that.

 

Second, he's typically shooting after he's probed the D, and "his shot" has presented itself as the best option. Previously, Jameer's shot was the only option, and he passed out of desperation.

I don't know, I find his honesty refreshing... It also serves as a great summary of nearly 10,000 posts.

I remember when I first joined the forum, I am pretty sure it was the same week as JD or very close because I was like man this guy is a post maniac. I have been on almost every day since and I laugh when I see the post difference everytime I post. Nothin but love for you though JD.
