Is it me, or does every team look like they are having fun when they play the Magic? I just don't get it. Orlando made some of the best moves in the offseason, and the only game they won was the season opener.....in overtime aginst New York... Im watching the game right now aginst the spurs, and the Magic look like they have no energy whatsoever. Somthing big needs to happen before they have he biggest loosing streak in sports history when they pass 24.


Toronto comes outta nowhere with this big trade sending Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall over. Before the trade, they averaged around 70 points. Now they average a Maverick like 100 somthing. I wish they had a couple of games on national tv, because this team looks like they are fun to watch. Not only, that, this team may hit or pass .500. I think Toronto will grab the 5th or 6th spot in the playoffs.


The west looks like they are taking a snooze because Denver and Utah are one of the top teams in the west behind the Lakers. The eas,t I mean central division looks like real contenders this year. The west better look out.

They really need to stop putting the Magic on TV because they are a horrible team to watch. There are a lot of other bad teams I would like to watch, that at least try towards the end of close games.

I'd like to see Toronto, Denver, Memphis, New Orleans and Seattle play on TV more often, good exciting teams, not those bums from Orlando.

The Magic seem like they get tired towards the end of the game and they just stand around and shoot jump shots instead of moving the ball around. If you watched that Spurs game, after the Magic made there comeback attempt, the Spurs just put on a great exhibition of basketball on the offense and defensive side of the ball. Timmy was just killing the Magic down low. The Magic desperatly need a big guy down low.

That T'Wolves-Kings game, was one of the better games I've seen this year.

Raps need to get a C/PF that can rebound and defend. Right now they're scraping, but they won't have a chance against the Spurs, T'Wolves, Kings.

Regardless of whether they are winning or not, they have T-Mac which makes them popular and therefore they will be on TV. Just like the CAVS, who arent doing much better, they have Lebron so they will be playing on National TV alot this year.

u are somewhat correct... they are on TV becuase they got into the playoffs last year+they have TMAC. If they didnt make it to the playoffs last year then they wouldnt have any games on tv this year.

The TV schedule was announced before the season was started, and I know some stations wish they could control the hands of time. Im suprised to see all these Pistons games on national tv. :shock:

Well when I was watching the Spurs play them yesterday the announcer was saying that Orlando wasn't losing there games by that many points. More often than not they actually were competitive and had a legit chance of winning them. Some of the games they lost by only 2 or 3 points and even went into overtime in one. They seem to be having a bad luck streak. To me that means that the team isn't as bad as they look. It's all about momentum and moral. I hate to say they do have some momentum, just not the kind I would wish on any professional sports team. Not to mention the teams moral is in the toilet. I guess the good news is the city continues to support the team. The mayor even had a huge sign made, that showed support for the Magic. He hung it on one of the buildings in downtown Orlando. If things don't work out for T-mac in Orlando I'm sure my Spurs will have open arms waiting for him next year(fingers crossed). If he's a free agent that is.

The networks didn't expect the Magic to be this bad (hell no one expected this)...all they saw was that dunk by T-Mac in the allstar game and instant ratings. I don't think the Magic will win till they play another basement team and hope they suck even more than they do that night.

Oh and Fawk the Zone Defense in the NBA, in the Video Games and in real life..its Ho

Don't bet on it Jalen has issues..I think there will be conflict in the future
