The article about "Who Would You Rather Play: Cleveland or Boston"

is humorous. Orlando is on track to going to the finals for the second straight year, and they are showing nothing but relentless talent, excellent outside shooting capability, admirable teamwork all linked together by great coaching.

But, for some reason, Orlando isn’t the storyline the NBA is selling; and I’ll be damned if I don’t understand why. It’s a great team with a great fan base, an emotional coach and a bonafied superstar in Howard.

For me its the consistent inconsistency that concerns me - PAGFL

The NBA supports anything that will generate ratings and an Orlando

Vs. Lakers for a second year in a row won’t increase ratings unless it becomes a close series. People will only watch it if the Lakers are close to losing because EVERYONE wants to see that.

"The fact that the Lakers have played to such a high level even through the injuries is a testament to their skill, abilities, and resiliency." - 99bc99

They could very well lose to ORL

I love orl, I must admit. I am a born Lakers fan, I bleed purple and I spit gold (I’m rich bitch), and nothing hurt quite like that Detroit breakdown and the Kobe-Shaq feud; but there is something basketballickly pure about the Orlando Magic. The center that plays center. The forwards and shooting guards that compliment each other and space the floor. The plucky point guard. The backup SG with great college credential but much to prove in the NBA. The veteran SG with nothing but winning and heart left to prove to the NBA. The spurned coach. The great system they run. The goon of a SF just trying to find a place to fit in on a team. And the teamwork. Its the teamwork. They have worked together all year. No Sportscenter specials, just wins in one column and very few losses in the other. No attention mongering, just basketball. I want this Orlando team to last. I like Dwight Howard; now someone tape his mouth shut and don’t allow him to complain about the officiating. Thats not what a superstar does.

I do like orlando, too

though mainly because i find dwight quite so adorable :p.

if i wasn’t a lakers fan, i’d would totally cheer for orlando

though that being said, the magic do look pretty scary right now. and not just because the they are blasting away the hawks. they actually do match up with us very well (strength and length on the inside, a speedy & beefy PG that will tear us apart, and not to mention a lot of different weapons and a very deep bench.)
