May the force be with you Orlando

Here is a look at the Yoda of the Orlando Magic. Even though they are down 2-0 to the Lakers in the series, and he looks like he gets fashion tips from Crockett and Tubbs, I wouldn't completely count the Magic out.

Stan was our coach at Miami for a while from 2003 to the 2005 - 2006 season. He was doing well until he mysteriously resigned for "family reasons" before being replaced by Pat Riley. That was the year of "Fifteen Strong" and the Heat went on to win the NBA championship so I can't complain too much about the change, but I always liked Van Gundy. I thought he was a good coach and he has proved me right by guiding Orlando to the finals. They made a good decision when they hired him and the players seem to really play hard for him.

Orlando will be at home for the next three games so we will see what they are made of. When Miami won the championship they also lost the first two games. Orlando had better start winning if they want to bring the trophy back to Florida.
