Great win over the Spurs, I really hope that the Magic make the playoffs. :D

Darko played good, and who said he didn't have range? He had a jumper about a foot in from the 3. :wink:

yeah i reckon hes got 3 point range, but thats not the shot id like him to take. I like what hes doing at the moment on offense. His FG % is excellent, especially considering the amount of outside shots hes taking.

Magic will probably be a 6 seed nxt season. Depends what they do in the off-season, but the Milicic-Howard duo looks pretty damn good right now.

Amazing, amazing game. Duncan played great and Howard is becoming such a monster in the paint.

Wasn't that what everybody said about the Bulls last season about this season? They are fighting for the 8th.

Yes, but it's not like Magic will lose anyone as important as Curry was. If anything, they'll get a player from the draft and a healthy Grant Hill. Combine that with improvement of Darko, DH and Jameer, and you'll get a very dangerous team.

what the hell? the magic seriously were under the radar. i thought they were a lottery pick this team this year. did they start winning shitloads of games after darko got there? i didn't see this coming at all, i thought they were fucked with grant hill out of the picture but they're better than i expected. holding san antonio to 30 2nd half points? ridiculous. :shock:

8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks in 23 minutes... And has anyone noticed the numbers Howard put? 28&26. Sick.

Does this prove that Darko is a winner? Wins with pistons, comes to a struggling magic team and start winning there :D

Considering his track record, Magic will probably make the playoffs AND the finals.

Magic are 16-4 in last 20. Still, they needa a healthy Nelson & Howard to be good. Turkoglu is also playing real good.

They'll probably get someone like Roy in the draft, a smart player who can contribute right away. I can see them winning 45 games next season.

i dont know if jj will go that high, he's going to be bad in the NBA since he's not athletic enough to guard an NBA SG, and he's no natural point guard. If they set up the offense around him so that he gets screens and stuff he'll be good, but he probably cant create his own shot in the nba.

Off topic, but those Korver's pics you got there are a bit disturbing.

Redick doesnt = Korver, korver is WAY WAY Better, he is way taller and creates his own shot better, and he can play more than SG and actually defend an NBA player unlike mr. redick..... Besides, korver's probably a better shooter, the only reason he wasnt as famous is cuz he went to creighton, not duke for four years.
