brownmagic 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Hey guys, I hate these rankings as much as you do but I am going to love seeing these analysts eat their words as the Magic plough ahead and destroy teams in the next month with their easy schedule. These analysts must be smoking something but they are in for a strong dose of reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My god I hate Cleveland, I hate ESPN, and I love the fact that at 36-22 we are still underrated Lol..maybe its a good thing..you think they believe we should have a 40-18 record with our roster and have underperformed with 36-22. If that's the case that's great! Hard love from ESPN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 I'm still surprised and impressed that we are ranked 8th in Hollinger's convaluted rankings. There are at least 7 teams in the West playing better than us (but don't have 3 game win streaks). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 ESPN- 11 (STILL) quote: Just how the coach drew it up? Hard to argue that when the famously porous Magic have allowed only two of their past eight opponents to crack triple digits since Stan Van publicly scolded The New Superman. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking?season=2008&week=18 no love...of course... NBA- 11 quote: It's all about the D for the Magic. Adding a big would have been nice, but they'll just have to stick with what they got. After Tuesday's matchup with the Bosh-less Raptors, the upcoming schedule looks very favorable as they try to strengthen their hold on the three seed. http://www.nba.com/powerrankings/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 but how bout this!!! Marty Burns put us in the top 10!!! and hes the BIGGEST Magic hater!! quote: Dwight Howard had 26 points and 22 boards as they smoked the Knicks on Saturday to make it four of five, with nine of their next 12 at home. Now they just need to get Jameer Nelson (flu) and Keyon Dooling (foot) healthy. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/marty_bur...s/index.html?eref=T1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 March 10th, 2008: ESPN- #13: quote: Riding a 51-win pace, D-Howard wants more: ''When they start talking about the Eastern Conference [on TV], all I keep hearing about are the Celtics, the Pistons, even the Cavaliers. I want to change that.'' http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/powerranking?season=2008&week=19 ________________________________________________ NBA.com- #9 quote: With only four of their remaining 18 games against teams over .500, the Magic should be in cruise control the rest of the way, especially since they've tightened up their defense (102.2 rating in the eight games since that ugly one in Toronto). http://www.nba.com/powerrankings/index.html ________________________________________________ SI.com- #9 quote: Not even Golden State has made as many three-pointers as Stan Van Gundy's crew this season. Led by Rashard Lewis (40.1 percent), Hedo Turkoglu (39.0) and Keith Bogans (36.6), they've hit at least five three-balls in an NBA-record 66 straight games (including the final two games of last season). http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/marty_bur.../index.html#?eref=T1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Ryerson 94 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 This is Washington's: quote: It's probably too late for a run at the fourth or fifth seed, even if Butler or Arenas is back soon. Holding onto No. 6, however, is a real priority if that definitely means Orlando instead of Cleveland in the first round. Just what does that mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just what does that mean? it means the same thing that every single sportswriter outside of the sunshine state has been saying all season... the LeBrons are better than the Orlando Magic...

richnba 3 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 How do you drop 3 spots when u lose one game? A game in which Goldenstate simply got real hot, god these guys at ESPN suck. I would love to have Washington, Washington should be begging to play the Cavsm Butler can guard Bron a little, but can Haywood really guard Dwight>?
