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.

Practice hasn't even officially started yet and the Orlando Magic are already feeling disrespected.

Even though the Magic are the defending Eastern Conference champions, it seems nobody is picking them to return to the Finals this year.

In fact, it was during their Finals matchup with the Lakers when Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce tweeted to his followers, "Looked like a German shepherd vs. a poodle. That’s OK the Rottweiler Celtics will be back in 2010."

Magic forward Rashard Lewis, during the team's Media Day Monday, took umbrage with Pierce's Twitter remark and went after Pierce not like a poodle but like a pitbull.

When a reporter brought up the Orlando Poodles comment made by Pierce, Lewis emphasized the fact that Pierce made his remark on Twitter. And you know what that means?

It means, Lewis said, Pierce was "at home" tweeting while the Magic were playing for the NBA championship.

Excellent point.

Lewis, Dwight Howard and the rest of the Magic start training camp today with the same chip on their shoulders that has fuelled them in the past.

Said Magic point guard Jameer Nelson: "Nobody believes in us, but we believe in ourselves."

What about you?

Do you believe in the Orlando Pitbulls, Poodles or some dog in between?

Well, not that I'm a fan or anything. But Poodles were originally known as fighting and hunting dogs.
And are just as big as a rottweiler.

Just sour grapes on Pierce's part. The Celtics are the one team I really hope don't win it this year. I even don't mind the Lakers or Cavs winning it, which is saying something.
