<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Einitials:</div><div class="quote_post">The magic could had easily placed 2nd in their division last year.

Juwan Howard will be gone and he was terrible for us anyway. Now we will be an evenly balanced team consisting of Francis, Mobley, Gooden, Dwight, Nelson, Cato, etc. The lineup is pretty strong, and hopefully Davis won't screw things up. Unlike last season, this year appears to have players dedicated to defense and the game in general. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Yes I am a Magic fan, however I am not a ridiculously optimistic fan like you seem to be.</div> I am a Magic fan as well, but I think you are being rather pessimistic. You've trashed Dwight Howard in some previous posts, and may I ask why? He has yet to play for us and he's still a huge question mark. From what everyone has seen, he can play. So - why call him out already? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If you are relying on hill and garrity to make a contribution next year then I think you are the one who lacks total knowledge of the nba.</div> I've written them off long ago. We now have a stronger lineup with players who could contribute nightly.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If you are relying on hill and garrity to make a contribution next year then I think you are the one who lacks total knowledge of the nba.</div> Wait a minute, since when was Garrity's career in jeopardy?

[quote name='Einitials']The magic could had easily placed 2nd in their division last year. I wonder why that didn't happen? Yes I am a Magic fan, however I am not a ridiculously optimistic fan like you seem to be. well maybe the 19 game losing streak may of had something to do with it? but im sure you saw that because you are the ultimate magic fan. and what do you mean bashing our comments, your the one who needs to :thumbsup: shove it... :mrgreen:
oh if and when the magic make the playoffs or for that matter not finish last, you should just leave this site as a favor to all of us "optimists"
I am willing to bet that all the people here who think that the magic are now a playoff team are also the same people who thought the magic would be in the playoff last year before the season began. Honestly, is this true or not? Anyway, just because the magic got a few good players does not make them a playoff contending team. This situation reminds of the clippers team two years ago when they had a line up Miller,Richardson, Maggette, Odom, Brand, Olowokandi, Dooling and Wilcox. Everyone thought they would improve but they only manage to win 27 games. The lack of chemistry and the poor coaching are still the main reasons why I believe the magic to be a subpar this year.
I think the magic will be a Playoff team this year! They have potential and skill. Lethal conbination! Anyway....Einitials...I don't think you're right...and hopefully you'll see why after the summer trainings. And say something positive for once!
I feel like we have got a good team together. I agree with ICE that Howard was a bad signing. Yeah he did Average 17 points, but he took quality time off Drew Gooden. I thought that was gonna be his break out year. I'd rather start with Drew next year too. Bring Dwight off the bench for Drew and Cato. Francis seems really motivated, hopefully he will share the ball! But Nelson is a good Stand-by, play Francis at 2 gaurd aswell. I'm not a big Mobley fan, he seems to get his rep from being Francis's pal! Cato is a good signing! If they can get Hill back and Garrity is tough to gaurd cause he's a tall perimiter guy, we could challenge the Heat for the Division.
