Is this the most entertaining season ever!?

Postby orlandomanic on Wed Dec 12, 2012 1:07 am

i'm becoming more and more of a fan of Vucevic, every game that goes by. Nicholson is also fun to watch. it is fun watching these team win and play basketball the right way.

but not only that, but this season i LOVE watching every Lakers' game. it makes the whole season twice as enjoyable!

before the season started, i was thinking their was a 5% chance of a Dwight/Kobe altercation, now i'm thinking their is a 75% chance of a Dwight/Kobe drama, probably after all star break. i can't wait for the board to explode when that happens.

not really IMO. My top 3 would be the one that ended with jordan vs Barkley finals, both of our finals run seasons (especially the second one with all the drama about lebron, celtics and magic vs lakers final) and the one with lakers stealing WCF from Sacramento.

O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson. Any takers?

Even loving Vucevic's improvement you're mad. Penny's and Shaq era, Van Gundy's team on '09.
You got to be crazy :roll:

This is easily the most entertaining Lakers season in quite some time.

Certainly not even in the top 15 seasons of all time, but much more entertaining and interesting than I expected a few months ago. The Lakers drama also helps.

from a magic POV, 2009 was because nobody EVER gave the magic credit, all year we were a lucky fluke, people were picking us to lose every playoff series, nobody gave the magic a chance vs cleveland, after game 2 people annointed us dead, and crowned lebron, so it was fun seeing the team make the haters shove it

I assume you're talking about the best season ever from a Magic team perspective. With that in mind, you can't beat 2009 followed by 1995. The rest can be debated in generalities such as the Shaq/Penny years, the Heart and Hustle era, etc.

Hardly the most exciting, but it's been pretty fun I'll give you that. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Andrew Nicholson

This has been exciting and probably is very exciting for fans who don't remember the Magics run with Shaq back in 1995.

Not much could beat the Pistons run in 2004 after losing in the finals the year before. That was an epic moment for me as I flew up to Detroit to watch the Pistons beat the Lakers for one game. The energy there was incredible and even more special to watch a team of role players beat Shaq, Kobe, Payton and Malone. It actually brought tears to my eyes. And, Pimps aren't supposed to cry. . .

Lakers stole Shaq, so Magic gave them Dwight!

I thought the Magic fired Otis!

Just change their name to the LA Sterns!

The good Vince season. We were clearly the best team in the league that year. Especially over the last 2 months. We just weren't tough enough to beat the Celtics for some reason. I think we could have beaten the Lakers in the rematch.

Well, even though we were obviously a better team in the 2009 finals, we were pretty terrible to watch. I find us more exciting to watch now. Its not just terrible post game Dwight and a lot of launching 3's.

Yeah, now it's just a bunch of long 2s. Much better...

Seems to me like we attack a little more off the dribble. There is much better passing and player movement.

This season is certainly more enjoyable than last season. Last season was a nightmare even though we were winning more games.

For me, it goes:

1)Heart 'n' Hustle Season (1999-2000 season).
2)2009 NBA Finals Season.

After that, the T-Mac years were awesome (even though we lost in the first round every year). Particularly the 2002-2003 season when we were the 8 seed and played Detroit in the first round and opened a 3-1 series lead on them (only to lose later).

But those are my top two certainly.
I like this team

My top Magic moments:

1. 95 Finals season
2. 09 Finals season (close second)
3. Tie: TMac Years/99-00 H&H/Penny taking on the Heat in 97 playoffs (Siekly goes down, we're down nearly 20 in the 2nd, down 0-2 in a best of 5 series and penny nearly single handedly wins us the series)

I'm not really enjoying the magic this year but I am enjoying the lakers lose. I just hope it continues.
