The Orlando Magic are up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Lebron James One-Man Show aka the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Magic are the team that everyone ever has written off since the beginning of the year. Why? Well, I'm glad you asked.
-Rashard Lewis is NOT that good and the Magic overpaid for his services.
-Dwight Howard does NOT have the killer instinct and will NOT come through in the clutch.
-Jameer Nelson is OUT for the year; Rafer Alston is NOT good enough to replace him.
-Stan Van Gundy is NOT a good coach and will panic and set his team on fire if they get too close to winning a meaningful game.
Well...
-Rashard Lewis made the winning shot in Game 1 and the go-ahead shot at the end of regulation in Game 4 to help the Magic win two games. Lewis also sealed Game 4 with three semi-clutch free throws in OT.
-Dwight Howard has completely dominated the Cavs in the paint all series. Howard also put up the first 6 points up with emphatic dunks and was two-for-two from the line in the Game 4 overtime.
-Rafer Alston, aka Skip To My Lou, has almost lead a team he has been on for 2 months to the NBA Finals (26 points, 6 threes in Game 4).
-SVG is still the coach and has the Magic up 3-1 (the one loss on a ridiculous shot by the MVP with 1.0 left on the clock).
So the Orlando Magic just want all the geniuses on ESPN to know that they can go f*** themselves.
