Everything is matching up with Cleveland this, matching up with Cleveland that. Hello, Orlando is preparing themselves to WIN the NBA title, not get past 1 team. They already know they have Cleveland in their back pocket. This team clearly has it's eyes set on the prize.

We shouldn't even have the playoffs then should we?

1. Cleveland will no longer have to suffer through Varejao running all over the court trying to guard Rashard Lewis. If he is killing us, we can slide LeBron over to cover him.

2. Cleveland no longer has to watch Delonte cover the 6-10 Hedo. Vince is 6-6 and Anthony Parker is 6-6. Plus Parker is a pretty gritty defender.

Too bad Carter basically takes a huge shat on Parker every time they play

LOLOLOL your ridiculous man...Its hilarious, how did we become a half court team, and since when were we an uptempo team?...We have always ran both whenever we have opportunities...You don't Jameer can push the pace like Alston? haha right...You dont think Vince can push the pace like Hedo? haha right...Just come to grips with it bro Magic have gotten better.

What Cleveland fans see as conventional, everybody else on earth sees as versatile.

Do Cavs fans actually think Orlando doesn't know what helped them vs. the Magic? They're not about to play Bass at PF for large stretches instead of Lewis, not against the Cavs. Because they know Varejao's got no chance, none, against him.

And if you think Carter's going to do anything but exactly what Turkoglu does, except better, you'd be wrong about that too.

They'll miss Courtney Lee, just a bit...he gave them a defensive spark, some good shooting, some good slashing. But it's nothing Pietrus can't largely replace.

Swapping Carter for Turkoglu, Bass for Battie, and Gortat for Gortat, I don't know how that can make anybody in the East happy except for Magic fans.

Thank you at least somebody understands!!!...I mean im not trying to ram this down other teams throats or anything and still anything can happen in the playoffs...But this Magic team is poised and I just feel lucky be in on the ride.

A few Magic fans said they saw it on a local TV station.

Who probably picked it up from the board. There's nothing about it on their their website either.

I forgot. News stations can't break into scheduled programming with news and updates. I guess in Florida we do things differently.

Have you guys ever heard of a breaking news type thing? It doesn't have to be a full news show lol.

How do you know its an absolute given Jameer will come back 100% from a serious injury? You guys said that in the finals, "don't worry Jameer is an upgrade over Alston against LA"

Nobody said that...nobody said he would be 100%..we said he would be better than AJ. We knew Nelson wouldn't start.

Anthony Parker is an average defender at his absolute best

Is it alright if I start a "Whose are the craziest fans" poll? I need an OK by a mod. All 30 teams will be on it

How the hell is there 7 pages within an hour on a topic about whatever his first name is Gortat at this time of night.

mattyBoi · Post #99 » by **mattyBoi** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 6:10 am

The same source broke the Bass signing more than an hour before anyone else. Just throwing that out there.

DowJones ok i kind of understand your reasoning now if you are basing things on the premise that Bass is playing starters minutes, that remains to be seen, but if there is an advantage I trust Stan to find it.

Smoothking i thought all the Cavs fans were claiming we killed you all with the pick and roll which means we were playing in the halfcourt an awful lot

Smoke[MaxX] · Post #100 » by **Smoke[MaxX]** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 6:10 am

There are reports that this is a fake report report by a few ORL fans (or one fan with multiple accounts). Seems reasonable considering there is zero evidence of the fact. If so, is there any way they can be IP banned?
