Magic a playoff team?

by **J@3** on Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:29 pm

Lol what damage? 11 points, 5 boards and a few blocks?

by **Fenix** on Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:33 pm

If you play him 30 minutes, you'll consistently get like 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks from him. That's not exactly spectatular, but it is damage considering all of his points come in the flow of the offense and that his range opens things up for DH and penetration of the guards.

Hes out playing Bogut atm :wink:

Check their last few games, darko has been playing alot better.

Bogut might have scored 18, and trust me im a happier aussie for it, but he only got like 2 rebounds...i guess it doesnt matter though, a win is a win by my standards, stats mean shit. Im glad darko and the magic are doing well though, they are really playing as a team.

If only the bucks would utilize bogut more...i reckon they'd be enjoying a better %

What's Bogut got to do with this thread at all? I'm seriously getting sick to death of people bringing up Bogut every time I post something about a player.

They are utilising Bogut, he's averaging near 18ppg in his last two. It's not the teams fault if he's not rebounding. I don't see how Darko is playing "alot" better but that's neither here or there, once again it's off topic.

The Magic is stupid if they dont make the play-offs because Bogut.

That made no sense whatsoever.

Umm, he was joking?

by **Matt** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:09 am

he only big man on the Pistons roster who can 'shut down' anyone defensively is 'Sheed and he would be guarding Howard. Considering the fact Ben would be trying to play help defense most of time, Darko would have more than enough room to do his damage. And a healthy Grant Hill would make this team even more dangerous than they already are.

Rasheed would play Darko and Ben takes Howard.....only makes sense to keep Ben as close to the rim as possible.

If Magic were theoretically to beat Detroit, it'd have to be via a monster series from Nelson who is the only Magic that burns the Pistons.

they should resign penny hardaway, he'd torch the pistons on the magic.

Even if that's true, joke isn't funny and he's still illiterate.

The NBA would need to authorize the usage of wheelchairs in a game then. That guy's career is as good as done, although I hope I'm wrong.

They lose tonight in Philly and it's over.

by **Amphatoast** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:12 pm

big win today vs. the 76ers (Y)

they doing there part but will probably come up short.. but it's good momentum towards next season. Just hope they don't pull off what the Golden State Warriors.. end the year strong last season and same crappy record this year

by **Silas** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:27 pm

Hell yeah i see the magic doing well here, they resign penny hardaway, sign kemp, bring allan houston out of retirement, sign antonio davis, and sign dajaun wagner and the team will win the finals hands down, lol.

by **Blasphemy** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 12:46 pm

I miss penny, and kemp, but not houston.. gosh lol houston was soo overpaid

by **Silas** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:20 pm

ya he was sweet though, he's still the highest paid player in the NBA i think, and he's like top 5 overall in all sports.

by **melo15boy** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:30 pm

sounds 2 good 2 be true

by **kinokong** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 3:19 pm

one of the highest paid players in the nba for having two arthoscopic knees.... the nba is so pathetic and hypocrotical sometimes

by **The_Flying_Tomato** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:20 pm

Magic would be better than Bulls

Magic play Bulls then Pacers
Bulls play Miami then Toronto

Basically, there's a .9% chance of the Magic getting this :/

You'll excuse me if I would prefer Chicago to the Magic.

Anyway, to correct an error on NBA.com's recap, the Magic would not make the playoffs on a tiebreaker with the Bulls should it come down to that. Chicago currently leads the season series 2-1 and should that tiebreaker be nullified when the two teams square off this week, Chicago owns the second tiebreaker (conference record) which the Magic cannot beat. Some very poor research by whomever wrote up that recap.

by **The_Flying_Tomato** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:30 pm

I'm rooting for ORL, MIA(for like the first time ever) and TOR(probably for the first time ever)

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:34 pm

Seems to be a lot of hatred for the Bulls these days.

by **The_Flying_Tomato** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:36 pm

I think it's because(it is in my case) they'll never be the bulls of old. They just don't feel right. Their shining moment was last year, and Mr. Arenas trashed it.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Apr 16, 2006 4:38 pm

So...because they're not the Bulls of old, they should be hated and do not deserve to succeed? No offense, but that's very weird logic.

Magic a playoff team?
