i didnt see anything bad in what he said, he praised our pg position, how many people has done that if? i dont mind people saying they would rather play orlando, i mean look at the pistons, they been a power house in the east for how many years now?, lebron can take over a game by himself and took the cavs to the finals..the magic are a up and coming young team, that people would rather face now...i just dont like when people disrespect us saying that we are just lucky, not that good, overated etc..but didnt see any hate words in there

Well Id rather play the wiz than raptors...Toronto has had our number all year.. Didnt the game the other day against the wiz, we had jameer go down and turk? so they beat us with one of thier starters our and two of ours...I don't see that as anything to brag about. Now the wiz do have more playoff experiance as a team, I still would rather play them than the raptors

You can't stop the hatred now, esp so close to playoffs. All in all, we are the weakest top seed, so take it for what it is. As long as we have Dwight, we have a good shot at going far

The fearsome Cavs, after squeaking by CHA last night, just got beat by CHI.

Hope they don't take it out on us.

Considering so many of us here have been debating about who we DON'T want to face in the first round this year....AS THE 3 SEED GOING IN....I would say whichever team ends up as the 6 seed has a legitimate shot at making some noise in the first round.

Hopefully that isn't the case. But it shouldn't be a walk in the park for us or them - whomever it ends up being.

I think Philly would be a cakewalk.. Maybe its just me but they dont rlly match up well with us at all.. We generally hand them their asses..

Yes, we can beat any of them, but it's best if we do so quickly. We don't want to be worn out for round two.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Personally, I don't care who the Magic will play in any round.

If the team is good....it shouldn't matter who they play.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Considering who Washington, Philly and Toronto have to play it looks like Toronto will be the team that the Magic play unless the Raptors totally tank.
With Washington playing Detroit, I don't feel for them lol.

This team is like the tampa bay buckinqueers of last year. feasted on a weak division and fizzled out in the playoffs.

Even if that's true, if they got to round 2, that would be an improvement over last season. Considering they changed their coaching staff, lost two key players and brought in another key player, that wouldn't be that bad. That would be better than 22 other teams in a 30-team league. Baby steps....
