We're officially the best running team in the NBA 

Post#1 » by aleZ » Sat May 3, 2008 8:26 am

With the Wizards elimination, the only fastbreak, 3pt happy team in the L going past round 1 is...drum roll...

TEH MAGIX!!!!!11

The suns are looking real bad these days, Denver is a madhouse and the Warriors didn't even make the postseason. Looks like Stan's combination of three point shooting + a dominant big man and some running plays payed off. I'm already fully satisfied with the season, but bring on the Piss'd ons anyway :clap: :clap:

What's interesting is that in terms of FGA during the regular season, we were dead last under Brian Hill last year, but this year moved only 4 spots up.

We don't run the break very often.

I was gonna say, I think we are a better half court team than a running team. We dont rank very high in fast break points, I dont know what the number is but it shouldnt be very high. If anything I think the New Orleans are more of a running team than we are.

Either way we are good and will be much better next year. yet wont get any national love.

We're the best 3 point shooting team in the NBA and we're one of the best inside teams in the NBA. We even had the most and 1s this season.

You mean we are the best running team still playing.

We aren't a better running team than Golden State.

Nobody is.....

We're not a slow-paced, low scoring half court team either. In fact the Magic generally lose bad when they're kept standing still and/or under 100ppg.
