TBH the NBA level of play now isnt so great.
I mean Cleveland was a conference finalist,they are very flawed yet are probably second best team in the East. I like Dwight but the Magic really just are'nt that good.
Nuggets are an ok team, but beside them and LA in the West what is there?

This is one of the worst championship teams in the past 20 years. Our roster is stacked, especially when Bynum plays somewhat decent and is 100%. This team would of beat last years Boston team and the 06-07 Spurs team. We were favorites from Day 1 of the regular season and won in the finals in 5. If the Magic didnt shoot like shit in game 5 you wouldn't feel this way. Actually you probably would because you picked every team in every single series to win over LA.

I like Dwight but the Magic really just are'nt that good. Nuggets are an ok team, but beside them and LA in the West what is there? Spurs? Houston when healthy? The west is still damn good. So because the Magic wasn't a great opponent that makes us one of the worst championship teams? The Cavs in 06 were horrible, so I guess SA was a even worse Champ team with that logic. Same with Seattle when they faced the bulls. The pacers, 6ers and nets weren't that great in the Lakers 3 peat.

LOL If we didn't give up that 30 point first half lead we would have been up 3-2 in that series. We were also up in the 4th quarter in game 1 and we came back and were within 2 points in game 2. That same team struggled like a bitch in the 1st and 2nd round. Now think of that team vs the Lakers with that experience together, Ariza who played great this year, and Bynum. We were 2-0 vs them with everyone healthy this year and 0-2 vs them last year. Who stopped their 19 game and 12 game winning streaks? Who is the only team to beat Cleveland at home? Lakers got killed AT Boston in the closeout game and everyone remembers how great that Boston team is but when the Lakers kill Orlando AT ORLANDO in the closeout game everyone remembers how bad the competition was.

"If we didn't give up that 30 point first half lead..." Yeah, that was pretty pathetic and isn't something to just throw away in an "if" statement.

I like Dwight but the Magic really just are'nt that good. Nuggets are an ok team, but beside them and LA in the West what is there? old man, just because theres no more Bird or Jordan or Magic's doesnt mean the NBA level isn't "so great" now. In fact there are probably more individually talented players now than maybe 10 years ago.

The Lakers have a 40 yr old fucking PG who never was more than solid, and a bunch of role players besides Kobe. The Magic have dwight and a cast of rejects. Cleveland is LA east,Bron and role players. The players MAY be more athletic, but thats doesnt mean they're better basketball players.

Eh, I'm not a big Pau fan.
He's solid but I dont think anymore than that.
