Spurs on track to win 73 Games

[Edgar]

To be fair, the current Orlando team can beat anyone on a night when shots are falling. They have a lot of high risk high reward offensive oriented players. They can win any night, but winning a seven game series would be tougher.

To Smith's credit, he got Turkoglu and Arenas when their value was at an all time low and they teams wanted to shed their contracts.

Orlando isnt built to win. They have a bunch of small guys and no length. Teams like the C's (When we have all of our bigs) will eat them alive.

Plus we actually play defense, tonights game, the Spurs played absolutely terrible.

thats our all hope
but we need rondo, delonte , nate and ray alive to have enough legs to go after them

The Spurs defense isn't all that good anymore. Tim Duncan is now being attacked by quicker players repeatedly. Dwight Howard and Bass both got layups and easy shots on him.

Not making any excuses here for the Spurs but it was the second of a back to back game for them aganist the Magic last night.I don't feel the Magic is a better team than the Spurs just caught them on a bad night.

I agree.  Comparing Duncan to KG this year, he just doesn't have the lateral movement and the same ability to challenge shots that KG does (which has been a very pleasant surprise considering KG's knee issues).  If KG wins a title this year and Defensive Player of the Year I'll be interested to see the "who is better?" debate because most take Duncan and I seriously disagree, but this late career phase may swing things.

To me it looked like they just played a bad team game and the Magic played a good team game, they certainly were dialed in from deep.  Every once in a while the Magic are hitting their outside shots and they look really scary but they come back to earth.  It doesn't scare me anymore.
