OT: Legler just said he thinks Magic have shot at Finals 

Post#1 » by lovehoops01 » Thu Oct 9, 2008 8:29 pm

Tim Legler is color guy on Heat-Nets game from Paris on ESPN2 this afternoon.

He said the addition of Pietrus and A.J., two bigger guards to help out Jameer, improved the Magic and could give them enough to get into the Finals this season.

Is it good or bad when ESPN stops saying all bad things about the team?

Lol I was at the gym when I heard this. I don't know if this is good or not. This is the same guy who said during the game that New Jersey and Miami could both make the playoffs and Philly can go to the Conference Finals. Does this guy think its going to be Philly and Orlando in the ECF? Lol we'll see about that.

I think Miami can make the playoffs. The Nets no way lmao. Philly has a chance to go to the conference final but they are still behind Boston, Detroit, Orlando, Cle.

very well could be philly and orlando in the ECF. Philly adding Elton Brand to iggy, miller, sammy, and louis williams. Then you have Orlando adding a true PG in Johnson, defensive freak in peaches, a pure shooter in redick (I know he was here but I consider him a FA since he essentially did not play) and you are adding batman (same as redick) to their mix. Orlando got rid of 2 chuckers in Arroyo and dooling. It could be a race. EC is looking pretty good.

Yea I could see Miami making it but only if Wade is health all year. Nets might be one of the worst teams in the East if not the whole league though imo.

And I'm sorry but I don't see it in Philly. I think they are 5th in the East and I don't think Elton Brand is gonna help them as much as other people think. What made them good last year was when the forced turnovers and got out in transition for Fast break points. I think he might make them change their style of play and that could hurt them. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see it in Philly.

We have a shot.. It's just are we finally mentally and physically stronger than Detroit to surpass them.. If we can answer a yes to that question than there is no doubt we have a shot.. Philly could be there too and that'd be a good series.. I think Philly could beat out Boston, but I as well am not sold on Philly until I see them in regular season play.. They might not click this year.
