Magic win more games and Magic win series. JO does not make Toronto better than us.

It is not unusual for a team to be better on paper than our Magic. In fact, I'd say most are better on paper. But we are just a better team because of the simple parts of the game.

One, the offense is simple and hard to stop. You have to cover alot of ground to stop the Magic. Most of the time we have 4 dead eye shooters on the floor at the same time. Not only do we shoot a lot but the consistency is pretty good. We were top 5 in 3 points made/attempted AND %. Second, mismatches. Like I said on paper we probably don't look good, but we have mismatches. Hedo is a 6'10 small forward who can shoot, drive and post up. Rashard is a natural SF with the height of a true PF. People look at us like a small lineup but it really isn't. In any case his SF ability makes it tough for PFs to guard him. Dwight is good size for center but probably faster and more athletic than any other center in the league. Thats our big 3 and thats why we won games.

So people can continue to match up on paper, it doesn't really matter. I say we still end up the better team, barring injuries of course. If one of our 3 is injured we are screwed.

Bosh will still be guarded by Rashard, and JO will be guarded by Howard, which is an easier matchup for him than Bargnani or Moon, so Dwight can stay in the paint.

On offense, the Raptors would have to put Bosh or JO on Rashard or Hedo, leaving Dwight alone with one of them. Both are great matchups for the Magic.

Toronto should trade O'neal for someone like TJ Ford while he still has value. Imagine how lethal the Raps would be with a double-headed monster at PG!

I think Toronto will go 82-0 while Orlando will go 0-82 in the regular season.

Somehow there will be a bunch of teams in the Eastern Conference that will actually win a negative amount of games, so the Magic will actually make the playoffs.

Toronto will win each game with a score of 200 - 0, except game 4 which will for some reason be played in Atlanta. The scorekeeper will erroneously give Orlando 1 point on a Dwight Howard goaltend, for a final score of 200 - 1.

Wanna bet?
