Official Orlando Magic Season Thread Vol. 58-23 Offically 2nd Best Record in the L!!!!

^^ i think they signed baas to deal with the big bodied, scrappy pfs of the league. Gasol teared them apart last season in the finals, so I think Baas providesa big body to pound in the middle, similar to how the Lakers put in Mbenga to body Howard in the finals. The team definitely needs Gortat as the back-upcenter, Baas is too short to fill that role and Howard is frequently getting into foul trouble.

im pretty sure he has an somewhat nice contract too if i remember correctly..

Bass was signed to fit in as the traditional PF that the Magic lacked. Shard gives them the advantage on offense by stretching the floor, butBass gives them another option to put in if they wanted that kind of line-up or matchup. He's too small to be a consistent backup center.

I don't think they expected Ryan Anderson to fit in as well as he has, because he fits that system of play much better, a PF who can shoot the 3. He'staking minutes that would be going to Bass, they just have too much depth.

The problem is Stan hasn't put Shard at the 3 at all, which would give Bass and Anderson plenty of minutes to share at the 4.

Having depth is always a good problem. Bass will def. get his PT when we go traditional, he's strong enough to defend the post like for example, Pau Gasoland his jumper is money from 15-17 feet.
 
Props to the magic n their fans...

I didnt expect them to be doing this well , AGAIN.

Most young teams who get to the finals dont play as well the next year.

Hats off to them.
 
no doubt this has to be about vince...

Frank guest coaching this week

quote:

Former New Jersey Nets coach Lawrence Frank attended the shootaround and will be with the team this week as a guest of Van Gundy’s. Don’t read anything into that. Van Gundy was asked if they have talked about Carter or will talk about Carter, and Van Gundy said no.

havent updated this at all but playoff time is nearing

looking like the next few games is cake so we should get a 10+ game win streak

oh and we bout to catch up on the lakers for 2nd best record in the L


go magic
 
We let a few EASY games slip eventhough we had double digit leads. Could've been the difference for homecourt throughout the playoffs. I'm liking our team more than last year. If Vince Plays halfway decent, we'll be in the finals again.

  6 Game win streak.
Vince needs to stay attacking the rim, I don't know why he falls in love with his jumpshot.  Meer is back for sure, he's slicing and dicing and his penetration (NH) is giving others good looks for 3's.  I just can't wait til the playoffs!  Yeeeeeeeeeeeee.

It is a bit embarrassing for us not to show pride in our team BUT we aren't used to all the attention that the celtics, cavs, and lakers fans get
laugh.gif
 i did mentioned before that we tend to lay low
  
 
YOOO!!!!!! how the hell we only scored 4 points in the 3rd so far?????? they relaxing again man
mad.gif
 
just to show you how much VC is better than turk.....................theyre averaging the same numbers (other than 2 apg differential) when turk was here but VC is doing it in 30 mpg compared to turks 36 mpg last year


if VC never played through that injury in january he woulda been still sitting at 19 ppg and better percentages
 
im a magic fan myself, but i needa see carter hit some big shots in the 4th before i call him better than turk
just like the announcers were saying, turk was never scared in the 4th and made some key baskets, he was clutch. he always ran that pick and roll with dwight so smoothly too
