Are the Magic taken seriously on SI yet?

[CameronCrazy06]

7-2, 2nd in East

5-0 on the road

Only 2 losses to Detroit and Phoenix

Scored 100 in 6 of 7 wins

Wins over Washington, Milwaukee, Toronto, New York, Cleveland (all have playoff potential)

Seriously, I don't want to argue, I just want to know, are we taken seriously yet? I know it's not even a month in, but we've been very impressive and D12 has just been off the wall. I think it'd be hardpressed to find 8 teams playing better than us right now...

I would say no simply because it is still really early in the season. They have had one hell of a beginning though

 

[Pugz]

I think they've been really impressive... BUT it is really EARLY in the season.

Rember last year they were one of the hottest teams and then finished 40-42.

What about the Lakers?

4-3
Although their wins have been over the Suns, Jazz, Rockets, and the T'Wolves. All of them powerhouses of not just the west, the NBA, playoff guaranteed teams. Well except the T'Wolves....

</satire>

It's way too early to say anything yet homeboi.

 

[DJT]

I say no. Just like what they were saying on ESPN they think they will falter, but they have like the easiest division ever so they will make the playoffs, but they won't get far. Howard will get tired from carrying this team. I know they have Lewis who is helping and Hedo is doing pretty good, but other than that usually no one else is helping very much.

Wow I didn't know they had such a weak schedule. They should of won all of those games. The only one that should have given them any trouble would have been Toronto, but they are playing pretty crappy compared to how people were thinking they would do.

And remember last years record of 13 and 4??? Lets see what there record is 30 games in.

Caviliers are good!

Are the Magic taken seriously, no? It's the season not the playoffs, when they knock out someone good/beat someone good we will talk about it. Andif the season means anything, let's take a look.

Bucks- 3-4, below .500
Pistons- Lost, so you haven't proved jack squat to us.
Wizards- Their record is 2-5, so you didn't prove anything there.
T-Wolves- 1-5, that's pretty spiffy win
Raptors- Only descent team you played and beat, and they are 4-4...
Knicks- 2-5, big win! Not..
Suns- 7-2, and you lost. There seems to be a pattern here, losing to teams above .500....
Sonics- Don't even want to post their record, because it is that garbage
Cavaliers- 4-5, once again below .500.

So when you really look at it, you guys haven't proven anything at all. You lost to above .500 teams, and you beat teams than are .500 and below.... If all the teams were above .500 you would be 0-9.... So no, you haven't proven anything at all. Maybe we will consider it if you beat the Nets, Celtics, Spurs, and Hornets, all teams are .500 and above. So beat some winning record teams, and we can talk!

And even if the teams you beat are playoff potential, they are really not showing it what-so-ever right now, they are all playing like crap, so....

Maybe more into the season we can discuss this but until then you never know. They could lose their next 7...

 

[VC3]

9 games in... I don't think any team right now should be taken seriously. Those games the Magic won have been very weak teams. The only one worth a damn has been the Raptors. Plus season doesn't matter as much as playoffs. If you guys knock someone out for once maybe I will change my mind. :OOOOOOO

 

[DJT]

Caviliers are good!

No LeBron James is good.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

8-2, keep hating...

 

[DJT]

8-2, keep hating...

13-4 last season.

 

[jarrod2323]

good start for sure.. but good points of previous strongs starts and a weaker conference are right. one injury could hurt with the lack of depth, though.

will be tough to overpower the Celts & Pistons, IMO... but, only time will tell.

 

[RipCity32]

8-2, keep hating...

I don't care if you went 82-0....

 

[CameronCrazy06]

How 'bout now?

 

[Pugz]

How 'bout now?

Your good BUT they may slow down like last year.
I doubt they'll be under .500 like last year but you'll slow down.
And you won't be 2nd in the east for the whole season but if I'm wrong then more props to ya.
