Cleveland and we'd still be 3rd in the East. The media and other teams taking the Magic lightly isn't a problem.
The Magic had a small bad stretch but they bounced back better than anyone could've hoped for. We've had some dumb losses, but that happens to every team.

sure does. Im sure SA is wondering how they let philly get the W just as we were. Every team is going to drop some games but whose there at the end. It is now a certainty that otown will

Yup. We can cross off "Make the Playoffs" on the markerboard in the locker room now. Next up: Win the Division.

Magic have been very, very consistant all year, except for 3 weeks around Lewis' injury. I think they are playing there best ball of the season right now. I'm actually ok with the fact that the media ignores us. Although it bugs me that we're like 6 games up on Cleveland right now and they just assume they'll catch us. I think we're going to be the team nobody wants to play in the post season. Assuming we win the first round, Detroit isn't going to run over us anymore. Cleveland may not be as good as Toronto for all we know.

Watching us last season was so predictable. I understand that you're joking around, but the style of play we have is such a joy to watch in comparison!

I memorized our playbook..if i was the coach of the other team..i could easily stop us..
our game plan is to let the pg drive in..dish..dish dish...3....or give the ball to dwight and let him work in the paint....or pass out....or give the ball to hedo and let him drive in step back..and shoot the j...or take it all the way for the crazy sky hook layup....or pass it out to shard for the 3....
our pg's do 2 things: drive and go for the layup...or jack up a jump shot..they dont really look to pass...hedo's our true play maker..

Analysts putting the magic 4th in the East are really making asses of themselves.

i love making 3's..its my favorite thing..its right next to fast break dunks...or non fast break dunks where the player just rises over the entire team and throws it down.

Yes this is the next goal. But it is not particularly challenging. If Orlando went winless the rest of the season, the are probable to win the division.
StM has the next goal as winning the #2 seed. More ambitious and this goal is player motivating.
Still, I agree with you fully that the unveiling of the Divisional Banner will feel VERY, VERY good indeed!

Well if the Magic can play defense in the playoffs it is over with because they are 25-0 when holding teams to 95 points or below.
Any way, let the media and every one else overlook the Magic, who have the best starting front court in the east and arguably in the NBA.

This is pointless unless we win the championship. If we don't win it all, I say we reject the shallow act of having a banner hoisted.

I love how everyone thought Cleveland would overtake us. Yea, how is that coming along. They keep losing to scrubby teams and we keep beating on the scrubby teams.
Or how we would collapse after the hot start. I guess collapse means go from 12 games over .500 to 20 games over.
