2011 NBA Playoffs Preview – Orlando Magic
We continue our 2011 NBA Playoffs preview with the Orlando Magic, probably the least celebrated of the league’s top teams over the past few years. When thinking of the most successful playoff teams since 2007, names like the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, and Cleveland Cavaliers come to mind. Its odd that so many sleep on Orlando, a team that has represented the East in the NBA Finals, Conference Finals, and Conference Semi-Finals in the last three playoff tournaments. Will the Magic hit for the cycle with an NBA Championship in 2011?
Home Games Played At: Amway Center
Key Players: Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, Gilbert Arenas
Head Coach: Stan Van Gundy
How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the Boston Celtics in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals
Orlando Magic Playoffs Prediction For 2011: Its rare that a team as successful as the Orlando Magic would undergo such a dramatic facelift. Gone from last year’s squad are Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, and Marcin Gortat, replaced with Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, and Hedu Turkoglu. The consistents for Orlando are still there, dominant in the middle with Dwight Howard, and lighting quick at the point with Jameer Nelson. Quirky head coach Stan Van Gundy still holds the reigns on this squad, built for the inside outside game and ownership of the three point line. There is a reason Orlando is successful and not championship caliber, and that is the inherent inconsistency of their offensive style and reliance on D-Howard on Defense. None of that has changed this year, so expect the Magic to knock down enough treys and feed Howard with enough easy baskets for a first round victory, then lose to the Chicago Bulls in the 2nd round.
