Nelson had his way against Felton last year, but Raymond is seemingly improved, so lets see how that works out. Carter is aging and can go off any moment, but I'll take my chances with Gallo, Fields and Chandler over him and Lewis.

We can take the Magic to 7 games.

I think some here fail to realize the simple truth.

Howard can guard Amare but Amare cannot guard Howard.

probably because your simple truth just isn't true...

amar'e went 25ts/14rbs and 28pts/10 rebs in their 2 meetings last year.

I didnt see the game so who was guarding Amare? Last time I checked Amare played PF for Phoenix last year and Dwight Howard plays Center. Checking the box score I see Howard played 23 minutes in that Nov 4 game and dropped 25 and 6 but had 5 fouls. In that same game Amare dropped 25 and 14 in 34 minutes. Since we know Howard has no offensive game outside of 5 feet from the rim Im assuming Howard abused whoever was guarding him for those 23 minutes. In the 2nd game Howard had 1 FIED GOAL ATTEMPT and 17 FT's and scored 10 points and grabbed 18 rebounds. Not even seeing the game I suspect hack a shaq was in full effect.

In our current lineup Amare plays center so what do you think Howard will do to him? The fact that Howard averages as many points as he does with a pretty limited offensive game says alot. Plus Howard protects the rim. Amare offensive game is super sweet but his defense is lacking. If Amare actually defended he would probably have a 6 yr deal.

oh so now all the sudden howard might not have been guarding amar'e those games because they play different positions? you seemed pretty sure before that howard could easily stop amar'e from scoring - if this is the case what makes you so sure or are you just making more **** up?

I would not extropolate the first 25 games across a whole season.

Knicks surge won't catch too many off guard when they start breaking down film to see what makes us tick. Still got to stop it though.

Orlando and Boston Have problems that can be solved come playoff time.

Both have names. Our names are still unknown if and when battle tested.

Orlando can still put it together.

They do have a deeper bench. So if I thought the Magic could win the championship--why not the Knicks--other than a bench enhancement--what exactly are we missing? This is very close to a championship team. Amare is better than ewing ever was here. I hope DW pushes the pedal for the whole gig. CANNOT touch the first 5.

they have Bass and Gortat... SIZE... we just need some SIZE!!!

yeah size is really important during the playoffs..you can get by during the season, but when it come to a seven game series...forgetaboutit.. unless you have a relentless 6 9"/6 10" rebounder

Howard is better than Amare. It's not just about their respective ppg/rpg production.

This should be apparent to anyone who watches the games.

if only you torrented more games to watch.

I mean are you kidding? We may be able to win 2 games against ORL in a playoff series. Miami and Boston will probably destroy us. Actually we may fare better against the celts because of their age and how beat up they are after the reg season.

Orlando does not scare me 1 bit ina playoff series

Let's wait until we at least play the Magic before we declare ourselves the winners. Felton seemed to have problems with Lawson yesterday. The small, quick players might prove too much for him on defense. And remember, Nelson has a much better J than Lawson.
