Arrow Are the Orlando Magic the most undervalued NBA championship contender
Orlando +425 to win the East
+1015 to win the NBA Championship

both at the greek

Orlando can beat Cleveland and seems to have their number. They have the point guard, the big man and scorers and they can play great defense

Not to mention they have the experience from last year and most entertaining coach!

Why doesn't anymore mention the Magic when talking about winning it all?

Jack, obvious poor attempt by you trying to cover up that you are now on the magic bandwagon and abandoning the Heat. Unreal this guy.

Sorry but it's LA, Cle and maybe Boston as the only teams with real shot to win. I like Dallas as a dark horse if they build quick chemistry with the Wiz players they just got.

Cavs have won 2 out of 3 over Magic and Shaq has cancelled out Dwight Howard. Orlando can't win a 7 game series on 3's alone.

losing in the finals is almost ALWAYS a terrible thing for the following season, the only exception are last years lakers team , so its not impossible but the books know how hard it is to get back there which is why the line looks so good

The line looks tempting, but this Magic team is too erractic and IMO not as good as last year's team. Any team w/ Vince Carter won't be successful. When it counts the most, Vince will be hurt, blow it, or stink it up. Guy just doesn't know how to win and he won't defend well enough for Orlando to win.

I could see them getting to the finals again (Although I truly doubt that they will) but they would have ZERO chance against LA. ZERO.

If they are healthy and inform when the whips are cracking, they have a legitmate shot.

Only two if those have to do with defense there Dr. J, albiet they are good in those categories.

Let's not forget this team has Vince Carter
