Not a bad video. I still see Simmons taking shots at the city of Orlando as usual with his snide comments.

Stopped watching after 3 mintues when I realized we had a new coach and Glen Davis recovered from his injury.

I actually thought the video was pretty funny. It's not like these so called experts have a christal ball. And to be honest, yes we have some good talent, but I would be surprised if it took one summer for these guys to understand how to mesh those talents and win ballgames.

Just six days away from the start of preseason! Does anyone know if, at the very least, the first game will be televised?

Pretty funny video. It was basically correct with a couple exceptions. There assertions are only based on last year to soon after the draft. I think they will understand that Hark is worth a mention after the first month of the season. Certainly that's who Victor will be calling on to defend Lebron, not AA.

Just talking heads being talking heads. The Orlando/Disney thing is something that we will always have to deal with, it's easy and the media is stupid. In the case of the Magic they really have invited that impression as of late with Disney being a corporate sponsor. I'm sure the greater San Antonio area has more than River walk.

Bill Simmons spoke to the necessity of getting another high draft pick and said the Magic will need to basically fake injuries and do weird things like Dipo at point, who agrees? It's easy to say it will take care of itself with all of our youth and potential departures but what if it doesn't, would the Magic sit healthy people if the team was over achieving? Hard to say really.

The fact that they didn't remember Vaughn coached the Magic last year is a pretty big blunder - not from a national press perspective, but these are supposed to be the hardcore NBA guys.

I thought the video was funny too, and hardly saw a shot at Orlando there.

It is pretty embarrassing that they didn't know Vaughn coached last year though. But I thought the video was positive.

Oh and the Shawshawn Redemption part was hilarious lol.
