Fine, Glen and Allen don't have to get along, Glen doesn't have to score 20 and 6 like he did in Atlanta, but were still a top 3 team. Allen and Keith couldn't play together and we got fourth place, compared to your beloved Magic's 8th. Plus, how does Orlando get past Detroit, the best team in the east this year and last year. You have to realize that there are other teams that are better than the Magic.
you make a good argument for detroit.................. but orlando has the best player in the east plus they have juwan howard, drew gooden, gordan giricek, and pat garrity all coming back and they will improve. I may be biased but I dont see philly being better than the magic.

You are overconfident, which is a bad thing. You have Juwan coming in and what exactly is he going to do? Wow, Garrity is coming back, I should warn the L.
Our biggest weakness was rebounding and we fixed that this offseason and now are biggest weakness is defense but were not gonna need defense because we will have the best offense in the game(dallas might contend).
a year of gooden & tmac playing together will make the magic a force in the east. add giri & howard to the mix, and the magic look a lot stronger than philly at this point. philly is going to miss larry brown's presence and it remains to be seen if AI & Big Dog can co-exist.

the magic have the best offensive player plus they have other great shooters and scorers on the team. warriors wont have the same offence they did last year without arenas. speedy Claxton isnt in arena's league, even though claxton is a descent player.
True, you can't say that defense is not your biggest concern. Defense is the biggest concern to any team, no matter how good they are. Offense should never overshadow defense.
Just because you have the best offensive player doesn't mean your TEAM has the best offence..far from it...magic next scorer will be howard..and he won't average 18 like he did this year...lakers,dallas and wolves now have by far the best offence...

I highly doubt....no i know it won't happen...mcgrady with 34 is ok and might well happen..but if it does..no way you get gooden and howard scoring 31 between them..no chance So all togeather you are expecting magic to average 124 points per game? either that or my math is getting bad..

And? so what if he is..no way would mcgrady if he averages 34..has howard and gooden scoring 16 each..not possible
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post"> So all togeather you are expecting magic to average 124 points per game? either that or my math is getting bad..</div> yea, i just added that up. i know they all wont be playing every game together, but there's no way there's gonna be enough balls to go around for that much offense
