Judging by what I saw in this pre-season and in last night's opener, I'm stating that The Orlando Magic are definitely better than advertised, better than Miami and probably even better than the Boston Celtics this year.
In last night's game Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard dominated (which I believe will happen all year long) and, even with the dynamic Jameer Nelson and his back-up Carlos Arroyo having sub-par games, the supporting staff (namely Hedo Turkoglu) carried more than enough offense to keep the game wide open from the beginning of the second half to the end.
If Lewis and Howard can stay consistent all year long, I'm sure the third and fourth scoring options (which will vary night to night) will do enough to win at least 55 games this year. And if Nelson and Arroyo can co-exist and play well regardless of who's starting or who's getting more minutes than the other, than this team is headed for greatness for many years to come.
Oh and by the way, Stan Van Gundy for Coach of the Year.
