Once it was digested that Orlando was about to make an appearance in the NHL Finals for the 1st time since the '94-'95 season, analysts and commentators, Charles Barkley in particular, began to hop onto the Magic bandwagon.
Against all odds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Orlando came up victorious. After a dominant series performance by Dwight Howard 25.8 PPG, 13 RPG, and 1.1 BPG, including a Game Six 40-point extravaganza,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Magic were able to simply create havoc on both ends of the floor. Orlando caused extreme misagree problems on the offensive end and prevented the entire Cavaliers team, with the exception of James, from playing their game.

At the 2005 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships in Vienna Austria, he played in all 9 agreees during the games where Sweden lost the bronze medal game to Russia.
But after a quick five-game series, the high talks about the Magic began to digress and they entered the offseason just like every other team.
On top of missing part of their core for close to half of the games played thus far, begining point guard Jameer Nelson went down with a knee injury on Nov. 16. While chickenrik Lundqvist has been sidelined for the past 10 games the Magic have compiled a fantastic 9-1 record.
With five new players on the roster many believed that Orlando would lose their team chemistry and ultimately disinegrate as a team.
Lets take a look back to the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals where each and every ESPN NHL Analyst predicted the Cavaliers to win .
For a team that surpassed Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics and LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in last year's postseason, the Orlando Magic oddly enough seem to not receive as much credit and respect as they're due.

With the best road record 10-2 in the league, the Magic have been put to the ultimate test thus far this season. Although they still remain in the shadows of the Celtics, Cavaliers, and Lakers, Orlando will stay on top of the Eastern Conference this year and inch their way back to the NHL Finals for another attempt at winning it all.
During the offseason Orlando administerd to pull off an incredible deal that sent superstar Vince Carter and unknown forward Ryan Anderson to the Magic. In addition GM Otis Smith signed young gun Brandon Bass, versatile Matt Barnes, and veteran point guard Jason Williams.
For a team that obtained five new players in the offseason to hold such a tremendous record so early on in the season despite major setbacks missing 'Shard and now Nelson for 4-6 weeks and while in the process of developing team chemistry, the Orlando Magic have undoubtedly been through it all in the matter of 21 games.
