If you trust their word, Davis finally will get a chance, a real chance, to coach an NBA team, and everyone can learn something about his coaching ability. If you trust their word. In a season of rampant uncertainty, the Magic claim, with certainty, that Davis is their guy. They want you to buy into his substance over others' charisma, even as this season trudges into unfathomable pointlessness. The Magic lost the ugliest of games to Philadelphia on Monday night. It was an 87-82 beast, and many fans reacted accordingly, rushing out of TD Waterhouse Centre with five minutes remaining in a game still in doubt. It was not a swell scene, just another indicator that Davis' task is greater than to deliver the Magic more victories. The Magic's expectation: Deliver us from upheaval. "There are no instant cures," Davis said. "It's a process." You don't know whether Davis can do this. You don't know whether he can't, either. "I'm not just trying to survive this job," Davis said.
