It's human nature to root for the underdog.
You guys are missing the point. Its not the fact that people think that Orlando can win. Its the fact that people are calling them the Magics.
nt'ers are slow

Are there other Magic fans besides yourself? Just curious, you guys are rare around these parts
The Knicks come first, but I've lived in Orlando most of my life so the Magic have always been my second favorite team. So I've been able to watch allof their games this season and of course I'm a fan.

It always is for the opposing fans. Unless the Golden State Warriors some how faced the Lakers in the playoffs

That's a big factor too. I'm hoping the Magic don't choke, because this is the biggest stage, but this is where stars are born. If Lakers doubleDwight it's gonna be hell if we knock down a few 3s and gain momentum.

Teammates: Nelson Will Play
Jameer Nelson's teammates are saying that the All-Star point guard will play in the NBA Finals.
"I expect to see him out there at some point in the series," backup guard Anthony Johnson said.
Nelson participated in a full practice with the club on Tuesday for the first time since tearing the labrum in his right shoulder Feb. 2.
Game 1 of the Finals against the Lakers will be Thursday night.

We'll probably only see Nelson for 13-15 minutes a night. I don't think he will perform as well as he did in the regular season.
I mean just look at Bynum, he's not 100%.

What can Nelson really give them though after all this time off?
5 minute spurts at best? Lotta conditioning he has to make up for in a little time. What about shooting?
I'm glad he plays, hope he gets out there, but trust me, Ariza got in in the finals last year too, he didn't do too well. And he's been great inthis postseason, so I don't know what Nelson can really offer other then messing up the Magic's rotation they've had goin the last couple months.

Just this game? Why? LA has the homecourt, experience everything. Why would Orlando have the advantage THIS game?

Jameer shouldn't come back. It's just going to mess up the chemistry.
Support your team from the bench, Jameer. There's always next year. Maybe.

When the series is Lakers vs. _________, there is always a ton more Laker fans on here than ________ fans......except when/if the Lakers ever met the Warriorsin that series. Then the difference between Laker fans and opposing fans wouldnt be as significant. We have a large following on NT....maybe not as big as theLakers, but more than any other team.

i feel so much better about the LAKERS chances this year....
I just knew GARNETT's intensity and the Celts deep team would be hell to overcome last year..
I TRULY FEEL L.A. HAS THE BETTER TEAM OVERALL THS YEAR,[ not by a huge margin tho] I JUST HOPE THEY STAY HUNGRY...
NONE OF THAT SPLIT THE FIRST 2 GAMES @ HOME CRAP.....COME OUT DEFEND HOMECOURT & PUT PRESSURE ON ORLANDO...
if we win the first 2 i dont see ORLANDO winning this series..
