OT: When you guys see the Magic on the schedule?

Do you guys chalk it up as a win or a loss? I just think this is an interesting way to gauge a non-Magic fan's impression of the team that I follow.

Used to be a win, now not so sure.

I certainly favor us, but now it's not the guarantee like it was before.

Honestly its just another game.

The Magic aren't an elite team... not someone I get excited to play.

No different than playing the Knicks or Bucks.

I wouldn't say I "chalk it up as a win" because any team can beat any team if the circumstances are right.

But I know more often than not we will beat the Magic.

I get up for games against the Celtics, Spurs, Suns, and Lakers.
While I understand that Utah, New Orleans, Orlando, and Houston are good teams, they just don't quite do it for me.

Having said that, I believe that Utah would give us huge problems were we to meet in the finals, and that the Suns could be dispatched of.

The day when dwight gets physical with sheed is when i'll start worrying about the magic. Howard plays soft against us.

Ive always enjoyed watching the magic. Hill, Darko, Arroyo, now Evans.

The Magic aren't at a high enough status to "chalk it up as a loss" when we see them on the schedule. Our team has the ability to beat any team. Some teams have a higher probability of beating us than others, but there isnt any team out there (other than maybe the Jazz :( ) that we chalk up as a loss.

We dont chalk up the Magic as a sure win either, though, at least in the regular season.

I still dont think theyre ready to have significant playoff success, though. Theyll probably get out of the first round then lose to either us or Boston (more likely theyll play us).

I'm never intimidated by the Magic. Maybe it's the powder blue or something. The fact is though that history tells us we have our way with them, even in this season with only one bad loss to speak of. Really the teams that seem to have our number no matter what (off the top of my head) are Utah and a healthy Washington.

ok we dont really care and he is pratically posting this subject on every forum. He is asking the whole nba about the magic on schedule, but he should realize that nobody cares except magic fans.

I see "Call me when you get a point guard".
Rip Hamilton is a stain on the Pistons franchise.
