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.

Lately, it's been nice. I've been expecting LA to win every single game. That doesn't mean I count it as a W before the game is even played - regardless of the opponent.

The Magic are tough, and for some reason they're not being discussed as far as a contender to come out of the East. Rest assured, neither Detroit nor Boston wants that matchup.

last game against the magic during our long a$$ road trip we had just gotten Gasol and we were expecting a loss. we expected a loss even before we got Gasol for that matter. now that the honeymoon is over I still would expect a loss to the magic because now we know our interior defense sucks a$$. when Bynum comes back it will be a different story.

Without Bynum lakers are going to have a rough time with Magic. Bynum atleast puts another strong body on Dwight to prevent him from going career numbers which is highly possible on Gasol.

I think Detroit should be scared of Orlando, but if you ask their fans the only team they are worried about is Boston and maybe a few on cavs. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Orlando took Detroit to a 7 games series in the 2nd round of playoffs.

Dwight is unstoppable... the only concern I see for Magic is their consistency on the defensive end.. with SVG they have potential to become as good of a defensive team as Houston is right now on their crazy streak which is credited mostly to defense.

I think good game and not blow out like usual, lately. I also think: If we had Bynum I'd be alot more comfortable.

I think last time we played Magic with Bynum he put 7 blocks on the them, some of them were on Dwight too! But we lost the game...now we also have Gasol, the length we have would bother Dwight (I hope so).

Im not worried about the Magic. You guys are too much of a jump shooting team. So I think a win. You guys don't have that one guy that can kill us. I think Howard can turn into that player, but your coach don't get him the ball enough. Offensively, you guys are turning him into Amare, who get points, but don't intimidate you. I liked your team in the beginning, because howard saw the ball in the post more. You guys started 16-4.

Bynum is starting to have a low post game. If Howard doesn't develop one, Bynum will surpass him. I seriously don't get your team. When was the last time a 3 point jump shooting team won the ring?

I was expecting a win the last time we played. I was also expecting one the first time as well. In the west, you guys will be fighting for the 8th spot.

Love how you guys played Boston the first time. If you guys play more like that, then you would be feared.
