Whats wrong with the Magic

[*Swish*]

I know they just lost to the red hot Mavericks team but that's not the problem. They've been losing games they're supposed to win and I really don't understand why I'm seeing this from them. They're a good team and Dwight Howard has been a beast averaging 21.6 points and 12.8 rebounds per game and behind him, there is Nelson with 14.7 points and 7.1 assists per game.. I mean, the leaders of this team have been playing well as well as the players off the bench! So what's wrong with the Magic?

 

I think we need to wait for them to build some chemistry with their new comers in the Magic roster but they've been losing a lot of games they're supposed to win with ease!

 

What's the problem?!?!

Dwight needs to take the next step and become a super star

I think Dwight Howard just needs to stop smiling, be a little bit mad and dunk on everyone, and rebound over everyone.

i think they should run more, they are stuggling to score the ball they are what, 3-7 last ten 3-8 if you include mavs loss today scoring around 90 points per game. they are also 20th in pace, which imo is pretty bad considering they play some small ball

i know they will be experimenting for the next few games so maybe they will change there pace while there at it

The Magic aren't a finished product yet, they wanted to make sure they had time between now and the trade deadline to make additional trades. They will have almost 2 months to scour the league looking for depth up front and they have a lot more pieces to float.

 

They need time to gel with eachother. And while Hedo probably won't be what he was like in the '09 playoffs, I expect him to go back to his regular season form that season, maybe a bit lower. He will do better than what Shard was doing the past few years.

Dwight needs to take the next step and become a super star

 

Including tonight, here are Dwight's last 4 games, all losses:

 

@ DEN: 21 PTS, 14 REB, 2 BLK, 9-15 FG

 

PHI: 26 PTS, 20 REB, 2 BLK, 8-18 FG

 

@ ATL: 19 PTS, 20 REB, 2 BLK, 6-14 FG

 

DAL: 26 PTS, 23 REB, 2 BLK, 11-17 FG

 

 

In other words, Dwight's doing his job. He may not be racking up huge scoring games (stil averaging 23PPG on only about 16 shot attempts), but he's killing it on the boards and playing well defensively. He's been a superstar for years now...you don't get to the Finals with Hedo Turkoglu as your 2nd best player if you aren't a superstar.

 

Anyway, the Magic were like 16-6 before half the team caught the flu, then that kind of killed the rhythm they had. Now they made these huge trades and had to play in Atlanta and then against the red-hot Mavs on back-to-back night. They will be fine.

A. They just got an entirely new team..which will take time..Not sure how big of a fan I am of teh acquisitions they have made either... B. Dwight Howard is somewhat overrated. Still a very good player, but not nearly as good as people make him out to be. ... C. And Stan Van Gundy is a tool.
