    wasnt pretty but we got the win.

    finishing the season without losing a series to anyone is impressive

    dwight had a great game and he was still ? about how we played. i like it

    onto indy. heres to hoping LA loses

    The bench is playin good, which is a plus goin into the playoffs. Hope Lewis finds a way come thru when we need him. I'd be mad too we played like ? in the 1st quarter. Don't worry we got this. Somebody needs to instigate some ? wit Matt Barnes & Lebron so Matt can trash talk him the whole series...

    good regular season. same exact record as last year entering the playoffs but i think this is a better team

    from incorporating VC and the other new faces into the offense, to shards 10 game suspension, to getting jameer back healthy this team faced a lot this season and still came out with the 2nd best record in the league

    the goal is clear. 16 more wins

    As a regular in this thread, I have to say, it has been fun watching the Magic this season. I probably watched over 85% of their games this season and if they play at a high level, I will not be surprised if they make it back to the finals. Too bad i am not as confident in my Lakers doing the same.

    On a Side note, WTF is wrong with folks in the Cheap seat, in the past few days, i have seen tons of people opening and proudly say Dwight Howard is not a great player. Some even say he is not top 10 in the NBA. Thats freaking insane. How the hell can u have a conversation with someone who truly believes that?

    its insane. dwight gets a crazy amount of hate on here and just about everywhere else. ive said it before, but i cant think of another star player that has the negatives to his game mentioned before his positives. it never fails. bring up kobe/durant/lebron and the compliments come, and rightfully so. bring up dwight and the first thing you hear is about his post game, or he's too nice

    i cant do anything but laugh at it now because i can tell who watches the games and who watches the highlights. when you say he has no post game or that lebron is a better candidate for DPOY, i know you havent been watching the games

    That is the one that ? me off the most. Lebron is far far away from been a great defender. Just bcos he has some chase down blocks does not mean he is a Great Defender. Its like saying Iverson was an Elite defender bcos he got lots of steals. What folks dont understand is EVERY damn NIGHT, Dwight guards 2 players plus the paint bcos Rashard is such a weak defender at the 4 position, Howard has always got to have his back.

    Like u said, He have no idea where the animosity comes from

    you preaching to the choir my man. im glad somebody gets it. i cant count the number of times nelson's man beats him off the dribble and dwight has to clean up his mess. shard, nelson and carter are below avg defenders yet i think were #1 in total defense. thats not an accident, dwight is that good on defense

    whats scary is how much room he has to grow. he gets too many cheap fouls, blocks too many shots out of bounds and picks up silly goaltends.

    Should be a fun matchup, the Bobcats have a lot of big men to throw at Howard. But they does tend to go into a lot of Scoring drought. If they go into a drought and u guys knonkdown 3-4 straight threes like u usually do, GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!

    yea i dont think they have the offense to keep up with us for 7 games. plus dwight wont really have to worry about his man because diop/nazr/chandler/ratliff arent offensive threats. he'll have more energy on offense and to clean up everyone elses mess

    Surprising, Felton is usually a very good defender. But Nelson is on a mission.
