If the words "Nick Anderson steals the ball!" give you the chills, If you miss the O-rena and the pinstripes, if you attended an Anthony Bowie basketball camp, If you regret ever signing Grant Hill and his glass ankle, If you own a pair of Horace Grant goggles, If you use the term "heart and hustle" in everyday conversation, If you appreciate the power of The Polish Hammer, If you know who Me-Mac is, If you used to yell 3D whenever you hit a three at the gym, if you would trust Bo Outlaw and Darrell Armstrong with your life, If you secretly miss lil penny, If you believe that Dwight Howard actually is Superman, If you wish Nick Anderson had practiced his free throws, If you are pumped about bringing some Vinceanity to Amway and if you believe that Stan Van Gundy and his Ron Jeremy mustache can lead us to glory...then welcome to playoffs 2010, MAGIC FAN!!!!

Hi, fellow Magic fans.

I just wanted to share joy with you.

The team from my country 'Partizan', advanced to a Final Four of this year's Euroleague. It's a success for every team, but Partizan has the lowest budget of all participants, every year. They sell their best players (every year again) to rich clubs, mostly Panatinaikos, Real Madrid...

Last night, in front of the 22 000+ fans, in the new 'Belgrade Arena', they beat Maccabi, thus gaining appearance in the Final Four, which takes place in Paris.

They are example of 'team play', having no real stars or famous players. Head coach Dusko Vujosevic is the main cog in this machinery. Does this reminds you of anyone? :-)

Basketball is a game. Excellent one, if I may add.

Way to go, Partizan!

Ok, I was absent from OPP, and I was following only Magic results, due to lack of time. Results were, well, you know it. They were ok. Now, since I missed a lot of info on individuals, I would like to know this:

What is general opinion on Magic chances this season at the OPP, assuming that all teams are healthy, ready and complete?

How far are we going?

1st, 2nd, Finals, all the way?

Thanks for the thoughts.

I hadn't much time lately,so I missed some stuff here on the 3QC,but it seems like noone discussed the possibility of lockout 2010.

or will the chicago's doom be repeated?

assuming there are no suspensions,and no more injuries,what do you think about outcome of game 7?
