Orlando Magic Power Rankings Roundup: Ups and downs
Matt Moore, CBS Sports
Cleveland Cavaliers. 1. team. 156. You wanted a statement game? You got a statement game. No <strong><a rel=. (23-7). Previous:
24. They are who we thought they were. Their biggest problem is that they can’t slow their downward momentum. There’s no parachute, they’re just increasing downward velocity. The offense has been horrible with <strong><a rel=. (15-16). Previous: . Chicago Bulls. 18. team
19. team. 38. They are that friend who, when everyone else is ready to go to dinner, is still taking forever waiting on a phone call and trying to get their things together. It’s not that they’re jerks, but you’re really hungry and you just wish they’d get their stuff together.. (14-18). Previous: . Orlando Magic
20. team. 64. It’s like that arena gag where the guy takes off his over-shirt and is wearing an opponent’s jersey underneath before the mascot hits him in the face with a pie. The Pistons took off their over-shirt and revealed they are that team where just nothing is going right this season. You can look at the Mavs and say they’re old, look at the Wolves and say they’re young. The Pistons’ problems are far uglier right now. They have a better chance of getting it together, but the problems are inked in their team DNA right now and that’s hard to find a quick fix for.. (15-18). Previous: . Detroit Pistons
That is quite the analogy — always can count on Matt for those crazy analogies.
The Magic are that team eveyrone seems to be waiting on. Either to turn into a pumpkin and sink to the bottom of the East or to make a push for a Playoff spot.
This week it seems the Magic are trying to make a push. But who knows how long that will last.
