Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 quote: The Magic have moved up to second in defensive efficiency, you may have noticed. That is to say, Orlando has given up the second-fewest points per possessions of any team in the NBA this season. Boston is tops, at 102.3 points allowed per 100 possessions, but the Magic are a strong second at 102.6 points allowed per 100 possessions. The team is eighth in offense, if you were wondering. Which is actually quite a bit better than the team's No. 11 ranking in 2008-09. That was the season they went to the Finals, mind you. So, through all the injuries, the supposed turmoil and the roster upheaval, here are your Magic - improved on offense, nearly as stout defensively. All the nonsense about the team needing this or falling hard without that, and they're about to enter the season's final month with just about everything sussed out.

Van Gundy likes time for preparation, we are so much better when we focus on one team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ApexTurbo 6 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 I agree looks good to me. I still think it will be a battle and will not be easy but we are more than able to return to the finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickAnderson 14 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 quote: Orlando doesn't have the matchup advantage this year against Cleveland like last year. I am so sick of this excuse, I wanna gauge my eyes out. People say that like they already beat us in a playoff series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-Aussie Magic 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 Jameer is a massive barometre for our team. He's penetrating, we win. He's a stagnant jump shooter, and good teams beat us. He should DOMINATE Fishers slow ***, should it come to that game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
