Orlando magic, how far will they go?

I think it all depends, they can win it all if healthy, and I wish I could see that happen.

Finals.
I think cleveland is the only team that can potentially upset them in the east.

Orlando Magic's been really good so far. That shows us that all of the new players fit in very well

I still remember how last year after the first 10 games or so, there was an article about the Magic on nba.com. They really thought they could make it to the Finals, everybody was like yeah right, everyone says that. They didn't think anyone was better than them, they didn't mind flying under the radar. In the end it turned out to be true.

They should go as far at the eastern conference semis and unfortunately will be beat down this time by the Cavaliers.

Care to explain yourself. Magic embarased the Cavs last year and all the Cavs did over the summer was add a useless Shaq that's going to clog the lane for LeBron, while the Magic upgraded from Hedo to Carter and added great bench additions like Bass and Barnes.

Interesting how none of them predict they will make the finals again, with a better lineup than last year.

I think Orlando will go to the finals,Shaq is going to mess up Cleveland....

I just love how Orlando is STILL flying under the radar, I think you can't count out the Celtics though, with a healthy KG. Bench is their problem though, Cavs have a pretty good and deep bench now, as do the Magic.

Well with the addition of shaq and anthony parker the cavs are much better than they were the previous season. I think that lebron now realizes that with shaq now down low in the post he is not going to have to have that dribble penetration game that he had before shaq arrived. This doesn't mean lebron is not going to be as dominant as lebron is, actually this is going to make him that much better believe it or not he is now going to boost up his assist average with both shaq and anthony parker and not to mention mo williams and gibson. As far as his scoring goes well he is still going to get his. That's why i feel that this year the cavs are going to get past the orlando magic. With shaq even though he is old they now have a big body to defend dwight down low and don't forget about big z who is also going to make life harder for dwight down low because of his length.
