		<description><![CDATA[For those of you less educated folks out there who may not be familiar with the old idiom &#8220;feast or famine&#8221;, it means; either too much of something or not enough of something. If you&#8217;re a fan of the Orlando Magic, you probably already know where I&#8217;m going with this. Yes, that &#8220;something&#8221; I&#8217;m referring to is EFFORT. The Magic have been wildly inconsistent through the first half of this season, and much of that has to do with the lack of effort and intensity they bring to the court on any given night. After returning home from a disastrous road trip that concluded with a disconcerting loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, in what was &#8216;suppose&#8217; to be a chance to avenge their defeat in the NBA Finals last season. The Magic apparently channeled their inner &#8220;Gooch&#8221;(pardon my reference to the old sit-com &#8220;Different Strokes&#8221; and the character who routinely harassed poor Arnold &#8220;what you talkin&#8217; bout Willis&#8221;) and took their aggression out on two clearly overmatched opponents in the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Queens&#8230;..Oooops, I meant Kings. Before moving on, I&#8217;d like to address the Laker game if I may. I was honestly expecting Orlando to at least [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Magic took their show on the road hoping to capitalize on the momentum of their blowout victory against the surging Atlanta Hawks last Saturday. Things began nicely, with a convincing win in Sacramento against the injury riddled Kings. Then reality struck once again on Wednesday night in Denver as the Nuggets dissected the Magic en route to a 115-97 trouncing over Orlando. Playing short-handed without their leading scorer Vince &#8220;Cupcake&#8221; Carter for the secong straight night, Orlando simply had no answer for the physical play of the Nuggets. Dwight &#8220;The Coward&#8221; Howard struggled mightily against the likes of Kenyon Martin and Chris &#8220;Birdman&#8221; Andersen, managing a meager 8 points on 1-7 shooting. A far cry from the 30 points and 16 rebounds he collected the night before in Sacramento. In what may have been the funniest sound bite I&#8217;ve ever heard from a player came from Dwight Howard after the loss to Denver in which he stated &#8220;the Nuggets took away the inside game and FORCED the Magic to shoot jump shots&#8221;. Excuse me if I&#8217;m missing something here, but have you ever seen anyone having to force Rashard Lewis, Vince Carter, Ryan Anderson or JJ Redick(let me stop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may not have been what they asked for, however, all those Orlando Magic fans out there got something very valuable for Christmas: The Truth! No I&#8217;m not referring to Paul Pierce, who didn&#8217;t even play due to a knee infection. The truth I&#8217;m speaking about is the transparent state of the current Orlando Magic, a team with no real leader and a slew of finesse players. Hopefully, this serves as a wake up call, for the always asleep at the wheel GM Otis Smith, to finally make a preemptive strike and make some desperately needed changes to this roster. On the surface, it may look like I&#8217;m another overzealous fan reacting hastily to a tough loss against a very formidable opponent. However, if we take a closer look at the numbers, I think there is genuine cause for concern. The Magic have no low post scoring presence, do not rebound well, with the exception of Dwight Howard,  and rely far too heavily on the 3 point shot to score. Not to mention they are missing one of the most important intangibles of a championship caliber team: Heart. It was painful to watch the Magic repeatedly get beat to loose balls and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Orlando Magic are riding a five game winning streak which included wins against a struggling Celtic team on the road and another three against sub five hundred ball clubs. With Jameer Nelson, the fragile starting point guard out once again for a long duration, things could take a turn for the worst if the Magic don&#8217;t pick up their defensive intensity and start executing better offensively as well. If Hedo Turkoglu was considered lackadaisical on the court at times, Vince Carter is now filling his shoes quite nicely. There is no real true leader on this group, especially, with Nelson out of the line up, who is capable of inspiring championship caliber effort. While Stan Van Gundy may be perceived by some of his players as negative or too hard on them, the fact of the matter is if he doesn&#8217;t try to get the most out of his players, the majority will just accept a mediocre effort. Dwight Howard should try and assert himself as a leader and increase his game day intensity. Instead, he chose to ask coach Van Gundy to lighten up on the guys, especially, newcomer Vince Carter. Basically, summing up his lack of dedication [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The finals have been good on both ends this year and there has been a lot of discussion and debate over a lot of crap. I think it&#8217;s time for me to toss my opinions out there on the whole thing and I really don&#8217;t care what anyone thinks. I&#8217;ll start with the Lebron/Kobe debate. Kobe is still better than Lebron for one reason. He is a closer.  In my opinion, there is way too much talk about sharing the ball, game ending shots and officiating in these games. The thing that still stands out to me is this. Kobe finishes games like Lebron doesn&#8217;t right now. The ball sharing argument is stupid to me because of this. When it is time to finish off a game, you&#8217;re best player needs to do it. Kobe shares the ball early in the game but in the last couple minutes, when it matters, he has it and finishes things off. Lebron doesn&#8217;t finish games this way. He is still looking to dish the ball even though he is rolling right through the lane and that is a sign of a guy who doesn&#8217;t think he can do it. He hit the big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Magic jumped out to a big lead early and held on late to beat the Celtics in game one. Both teams are fighting injuries with Courtney Lee and Kevin Garnett down and this set up opportunities for some others to step up. The Celtics had no one to step up in Garnett&#8217;s absence against the Magic and they exploited that enough to win game one. From what I saw though there are some huge holes out there that the Magic can take advantage of and really take hold of this series. We really shouldn&#8217;t expect Rafer Alston to do what he did to Rajon Rondo last night in every game, but he needs some props for what he did. Rondo still had 14 points and 8 dimes, but Alston helped force Rondo into seven turnovers last night and that was great. Alston was all over Rondo and this could be a short series if he keeps that up. Mickael Pietrus stepped up off the bench with 17 crucial points and played with the toughness and intensity that this team needs. Let&#8217;s not forget that Pietrus was a starter earlier on the season until an injury allowed Lee to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Magic are going to be stuck playing the Celtics in the second round and that could be good. Dwight will do his thing against Perkins, Garnett or whoever squares up on him. Lewis will continue to be effective yet erratic. Turk will be the enigmatic figure that he has become with the injury. Alston will get torched by Rondo throughout every game. The key will be Courtney Lee. Lee is fighting off an injury himself, but he&#8217;ll be there. Injury or not, if the Magic turn him loose, he&#8217;ll go off. Courtney Lee has shown what he&#8217;s capable of this year and hasn&#8217;t even touched the surface yet. Lee is quick, tough, athletic and a defensive animal that will leave the Celtics wondering what happened to them if Van Gundy gives him the keys to the offense. Alston has helped and hurt at the same time. It&#8217;s obvious. He would be great behind Nelson, but that&#8217;s not an option. I loved the strides Jameer Nelson made and he&#8217;s is the biggest reason the Magic became an elite team earlier in the season. When he went down it was awful. Alston gave us hope and has done enough to keep [...]]]></description>
