Going to try a new approach here

The Orlando Magic won their fifth game in a row last night and at 10-2 have their best start in franchise history. On Sunday they also handed the Celtics their first loss of the season so you can imagine that I'm pretty happy right now.

But I'm not going to do what I did last season. Orlando got off to an 11-4 start last year and after a big win against the Jazz, I wrote this post telling people how the Magic are going to stomp on their stupid groin.

I wrote about how they would dunk on your stupid face and steal your girlfriend all while making puzzles and writing articles for Time Magazine. But yeah, I obviously jinxed the hell out of them and the rest of the season went pretty shitty.

They backed into the play-offs as an 8th seed and the Pistons made sure that their play-off run was very short. I believe that Soulja Boy learned how to "Superman dat ho" after he saw what Detroit did to Orlando in those 4 games.

After that, the off-season brought some highs and lows and I wasn't really sure how the team would respond to all of it...

The good

- Resigning Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson.
- Getting Rashard Lewis.
- Grant Hill's massive contract came off the books.
- Brought in a good head coach in Stan Van Gundy.
- Getting Patrick Ewing to work with Dwight Howard on his post game.

The bad

- Rashard Lewis' contract might have been a bit over the top
- Their basically capped out over the next 5 years
- That entire Billy Donovan fiasco
- Didn't re-sign Darko

But through all of that, the season is off to a pretty good start but the question now becomes if they can keep it up. I'm obviously hoping for that but I'm not going to be running my mouth off anytime soon.

I'm just going to quietly sit back and watch what Van Gundy can do with this team. It scares the hell out of me that they're capped out for the next 5 years but the Eastern Conference might just be weak enough that it won't matter that much.
