Since that ugly loss in Toronto on Feb. 20, the Magic are 12-4, but more important, their defense has been very good and pretty consistent, which should make Stan Van Gundy happy and should have them ready for the postseason. It was the offense that failed in the four losses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 ESPN- #10 quote: He might not be the favorite, but Stan Van has to be up in there in the COY derby. Unless Orlando's two victories each over Boston and Detroit and the league's third-best road record (23-13) don't do much for you. SI.com- #8 quote: They uncharacteristically blew a fourth-quarter lead in Saturday's setback against the Hawks, dropping their season record to 45-5 when they are ahead through three periods. But they still had won six of their last eight games heading into what should be an interesting home contest Tuesday night against the Spurs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 down to #12 on ESPN- quote: All the Magic need, in spite of a bad L to the Knicks, is a 2-3 finish to seal their first 50-win season since Shaq left. The real suspense, though, is seeing who they get in the first round: Washington, Philly or Toronto. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking?season=2008&week=23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
