    Magic: 1-7, but who cares?

    A lot of people have been getting upset about their team losing in the preseason but to me, it doesnt matter. The preseason is a waste of time and it is just made to gain experience for the rookies/new players trying to make a team. The games also tend to get very boring because the stars sit and it is loaded with turnovers.

    The Magic have played terrible and there have been many surprises thus far. Reece Gaines has played awful and Britten Johnson has started. I don't think anyone would have expected that. Preseason has nothing to do with the regular season. Once that starts its a whole new game. I cannot wait until this is over.

    1-7 now. worst team in the preseason. our normal players played at the end and we collapsed, so hopefully that won't be a sign of things to come. i'm just glad that preseason made it through without any major injuries.

    with how bad we've played though i'm starting to think of a 5th or 6th seed instead of the 3rd or 4th that i thought before. we have not looked good at all and i know it's just a preseason. at least the season is long. hopefully we can get it together for wednesday.

    No because your pg is lue
    You have no center..
    You have no defenders at the 2 ..
    You have 2 guys that play the same position ..
    You have no bench!!
    plus u have doc rivers who is so overrated.. just look at them bein an 8 seed last year

    Ok..listen up

    NBA Superstar + scoring help=higher seeding

    Not too hard to understand...

    Also The Magic's bench isn't bad this season....Magic should be no lower than 6th...

    We also have Shammond Williams at pg, he will likely start.

    Steven Hunter and Zaza will surprise you guys and if they don't Juwan Howard will be our center, he won't get completely dominated in the east.

    No defenders at the 2? Does tmac ring a bell? He will be much improved defensively this year.

    Juwan Howard and Drew Gooden will both be able to play alongside one another. Howard will be more of the scorer while Gooden will do the dirty work.

    Our bench is much improved from last year. We have 3 guys who started much of the season last year on our bench. (declerq, garrity, giricek), plus we now have Shammond Williams who will bring some spark. We also might have Donnell Harvey off the bench.

    Doc Rivers isn't overrated. He's a good coach, who learned a lesson from the playoffs last year. He will be the motivator and fire the magic up this season and postseason and won't just stand around and assume that we will win a playoff series. If he doesn't produce, he will be fired for sure after this year.


    I agree with allnet also. We will definetely make the playoffs when we have tmac on our team.
