NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

Milwaukee is struggling, and Orlando is just 6 games behind them in the loss column.

If Hill stays healthy, there is no reason at all Orlando can't make the playoffs this year.

One game at a time. Win the next game. Use Darko and Arroyo. Darko should be a huge help in playing against Ming. GO ORLANDO!!!!!

Hey darkofan/Lee357: It is doable and it will be fun to see this team play the Stones. The revenge of the Darko will be in full force :D BTW, nice to see you keep Arroyo alive @ the piston talk forum, to the displessure ofnthe majority there. :lol:

will never happen, we suck. We should just be focusing on playing our young guys. At some point i want Darko and Dwight to start playing together, that would be fun.

Six games back is still a lot of ground to make up, and we're not exactly lighting up the league (1-2 record since the trades). I guess miracles can happen, but I'd rather see our young talent out there focusing on getting better, forming bonds, and creating team chemistry than seeing them get limited minutes just so the Magic can win some games.

It's a tough call. On one hand, I say the season's shot and lets just lose, but then I watch the games and I can't just not root for them to win. I'd be happy if we could go like 13-15 the rest of the way and still get a top 10 pick.

prballer: Hi, is Nanso here. Some of us still write in the detroit forum and inform of Arroyo and Darko performances. The Haters do'nt like it, but the fair minded piston fan(the majority) do like it. Nice to see you here!

^^ Yea that, PLUS we also have the Bulls & Celtics in between us and the Bucks who are less than six game back of the #8 spot, so we would need alot of losses from them as well. So its not just the Bucks we are behind. Its very SLIM chances we can make the playoffs

6 games is a lot. I think it is too much. Even if we explode with wins, we have to hope the teams in front of us falter.

To be honest, at this point I hope we dont make it. I would much rather have a piece to build around (especially since we refused the pick this year in the detroit trade)

Dwight Howard = MVP
I want us to make the playoffs but I dont think its gonna happen. We would have to go 21-7 for the rest of the season just to make it at .500. And we still prolly wouldnt even make the playoffs. Theres no way we could go 21-7.

BTW, we're 7 games behind the Bucks for the 8th seed. ;)
