[ThisIsTheYear 241]

Wow. WOW. 3rd? 1st?!

 

This league is a joke.

the lakers are getting way to much dick sucking.....they've played the 24th hardest schedule while playing a ton of home games, catching teams on b2b's etc

 

look at their schedule the last two weeks, lol

Lakers are going to be #1 and Orlando is going to be #2... book it everywhere. Anything else is a travesty.

[Jareth Cutestory 678]

Orlando had a light schedule. I'm thinking #2 or #3 since no other team really blew up this week.

Yeah, but beside the loss against Miami, we are like 12 for our last 13, and we are actually playing and winning on the road, contrary to the Lake-show. Anything below 2 is insulting.

The Magic don't force a lot of turnovers, but their opponents have shot just 42 percent as they've won 10 of their last 11 games. And that's with Dwight Howard having only blocked 36 shots this season. Through 20 games last year, he had 82 blocks.

They've won seven in a row on the road. They've gone 8-1 since losing Jameer. They've won biggies at Boston and Atlanta and sit just one disputed Miami basket away from an 11-game win streak. They've got to be No. 2.

The Magic have won more straight on the road this year than the Lakers have played and the Magic have only lost one more game than them.

Orlando Magic (16-4)

It's nice to have the Knicks and Warriors around to work out the kinks in your offense, isn't it? Orlando put up 244 points against its only two opponents this week and now has a top-10 offense (102.1 points per game) to go with their equally tough defense (95.4).

Work out the kinks in the offense?? Is it our fault that we had Golden State and New York on the same week? Does that make us worse? We are actually playing on the road, contrary to the Lakers.

honestly the lakers have had a ridiculous schedule, all the home games=no back to backs, it's a joke

We had been underachieving a little bit offensively up until this past week IMO.
