Hopefully the Joe/Woodson era is finished as well.Wow. Another EASY win for Orlando.Thus far, the Magic are looking scary, like '2001 L.A. Lakers' scary!I'm kinda sad that it took the Magic beating up on a team that gave up halfway through Game 1 for people to realize that the best team in the playoffs have been the Magic. I think I said earlier in the thread that the best team in the East is the Magic. They know how to and know that they can definitely beat the Cavs & Celtics, & they can take the best that the west has to offer as well. Plus, Jameer Nelson is healthy so that also helps them a bunch.I really wouldn't be surprised one bit to see a Magic-Lakers Finals rematch.

Pretty impressive considering that nobody else did it this year.Also...I've got more faith in this incarnation of the Suns than any of the ones before now. Why? They actually play a little bit of defense. Although it's a different NBA now, if you can't play defense in the playoffs, you can't win. This team can actually play it, so they may have a shot at winning. That Lakers-Suns series will be too much fun to watch, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeaks4 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Wow when this series started I would of said Suns in 6-7 but a sweep was out of the question. It really seemed that a few of the Spurs simply gave up right at the end of the game. Now I am torn between wanting the Lakers/Jazz series to go 5 or 6 or if it would be better to just not risk them losing their rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I really only pay attention to the NBA during this time of the year and being that I hate the most local team and their bandwagon bunch of fans, and that I have family on both sides that live in Phoenix, I've attached myself to the Suns over the last decade. It's the family exemption to the bandwagon rule. I really liked the Mike D'Antoni years, but you always knew the other shoe was going to drop because the team didn't play defense. I trust this Suns team more and their chemistry is really evident. I like their chances against anyone. Also, I am going to laugh my pants off if the Cavs lose this series to Boston.

Also, I am going to laugh my pants off if the Cavs lose this series to Boston.Problem with D'Antoni was he didn't like to play his bench and didn't believe in defense. Something that Gentry has put into the system with the Suns. I do believe that D'Antoni is nothing more than a below average coach that was lucky because he had Amare, Nash and Marion on his team, it shows with the Knicks as they are just so piss poor and will never be anything with D'Antoni as their head coach. I think what the Suns have now with Alvin Gentry is a good thing and I honestly believe that they can contend with the Lakers. Will they beat them? You never know, but the chemistry and self esteem is there to say they can after getting that 550lb gorilla off their back named the San Antonio Spurs.

lordsketor Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Orlando sweeps again....this time is the Hawks that is the victim, beating them 98-84 and their margins of victory in this series is 101 points.

TFoA Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Despite the fact that this was probably one of the more embarrassing playoff runs in Atlanta Hawks history...the regular season was pretty cool. 53 wins, Jamal Crawford wins 6th man of the year, the team is actually relevant for the first time in years. Just too bad that it had to end in such embarrassing fashion.So yeah, the good outweighs the bad. I can't wait for the offseason for this team, it's going to be very interesting to see which direction the organization chooses to go in for the future. I hope that they make the right decisions...Also, the Magic are great. They aren't going to just keep on rolling over people, but I still think that they are going to make the Finals & probably win it this year. Good defense + great shooters + Superman = very good shot at a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsketor Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Lets just hope that the Hawks have a good offseason now, and not make stupid deals.

MDC Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Let's just hope Joe Johnson signs with the Bulls. He's probably my favorite player in the NBA not named Derrick Rose, so I would personally love him here. Its just so hard to imagine seeing one of Rose's nice kick-outs for three actually go in, usually hinrich or Deng blow it ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousAtticus Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 The Magic are playing lights out defense/offense right now!Orlando won the four games against the Hawks by an average of 25.3 points, that is the most lopsided margin of victory in NBA Playoff history. They are now 27-3 in their last 30 regular and postseason(combined) games!This is an insane stat:"Orlando has outscored opponents by a whopping 421 points over its past 30 games. To put this in perspective, the Lakers, Suns and Celtics -- who could be the other three teams left standing when the conference finals start next week -- didn't outscore the opposition by 421 points over the entirety of the 82-game regular season, much less in the final 30 games of it." -John Hollinger ESPN.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
