so far two questions about the magic...

 

will follow up with them...

[Murphy13 185]

E-Rock (Orlando, FL): Hey David, How about my man D-12 for M.I.P.? Isn't it incredible how much better Dwight Howard's offensive game has developed even over the last month? How "GREAT" is this kid going to be in the next year or two? Championships?

 

SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:11 PM ET ) MIP seems below him.

[Murphy13 185]

Chad (Orlando): Thorpe, I'm having an issue with the way many analysts are putting off the Magic. They claim we can't talk about them until they make some noise in the playoffs, but everyone is willing to shower the Hornets and other western conference teams with praise despite not even making the playoffs last year (Hornets) or never making it out of the first round (Rockets). Is this a bias? or just different circumstances? Thanks Dave, you rock!

 

SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:15 PM ET ) All those teams are in similar boats-inexperienced players but experienced coaches.

Jon (Gainesville): Man, those Cavs are so totally the third best team in the east

 

SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:21 PM ET ) I think they will be by seasons end. And a tough out after that.

 

 

*whatever 6.5 games back....

Thorpe sucks. All his answers are one liners. Hollinger actually takes time to answer the questions.

The question seemed a little sarcastic, but the answer was downright buffoonery.

 

I can't wait to see the ESPNtards stew when they get their predictions wrong.

RC (Orlando): Is Hedo Turkoglu the most improved player this year?

 

SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:47 PM ET ) Indeed he mighyt be

[Murphy13 185]

Kyle (Raleigh): Will JJ Redick ever get a chance with Orlando or will he be shipped out this summer?

 

SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:47 PM ET ) My guess is he'll be moved.

The fact that he said he "might be" makes his answer a very easy one. Can't he develop an argument to answer?

[Murphy13 185]

Jim (DC): Could a healthy Washington team beat Orlando?

 

SportsNation David Thorpe: (12:51 PM ET ) Sure. it would be a great series.

The Redick and Washington question were mine. He's vague, but he answers a lot of questions.
