		<description><![CDATA[Orlando&#8217;s short-lived 2 game win streak came to an abrupt halt Monday night in Memphis while the Grizzlies continued on to their 11th straight home win. The Iverson-less Grizzlies have turned into one of the bright spots in the NBA this season; a young team, with talent and a coach who isn&#8217;t afraid to stand his ground in Lionel Hollins, who won the battle and apparently the war with A.I.. Now the Grizzlies are much better for it. They are very similar to the Oklahoma Thunder who also sport a youthful, well coached cast of players led by Kevin Durant, who continues to improve and impress. How Kevin Pritchard still has a GM position in Portland after missing the boat on Durant, electing instead to draft Greg &#8220;Droppin Trou&#8221; Oden, boggles my mind? Staying true to form, the Magic came out bombing from long range once again, putting up 35 three point field goals, seemingly oblivious to the fact &#8220;Superman&#8221; was being guarded by Marc Gasol(who looks more like Dan Aykroyd on the basketball court, than his brother Pau Gasol) and Zack Randolph, two of the worst athletes in the NBA. Dwight still managed to do his damage, collecting 27 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would someone please call the ASPCA and send them to pick up the carcass resembling the remains of the once proud Orlando Magic that lay still on the Verizon Center court in Washington DC. Last night&#8217;s performance by the Magic against the turmoil filled Washington Wizards was absolutely deplorable. Despite the Magics horrific shooting woes which continue to plague them, they managed to build a ten point lead in the fourth quarter, only to fall victim to a frenetic Wizard rally. The Magic have now lost four straight games against sub .500 teams, three of which came on the road where Orlando has struggled mightily this season. Before I begin to dissect the plight of the Orlando Magic following last nights debacle, I would like to clarify that I&#8217;m in excellent spirits. I would hate for my rant to be attributed to me possibly waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Which would have been impossible anyway since I slept on the good old couch last night (ah yes, one of the many fringe benefits of living with your girlfriend&#8230;lol). It would be easy to point out once again, the Magics dependence on the 3 point shot (they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The NBA took a hard line approach to the Gilbert Arenas saga, which continues to get uglier each day as it continues to unfold, by suspending the former All-Star indefinitely. In my humble opinion, this action is clearly the right call, and is actually overdue. If the NBA would have reacted more swiftly they could have avoided further damage to it&#8217;s already tarnished image. Instead, they allowed Aren-ASS to continue playing even after he admitted to bringing guns into the Wizard&#8217;s locker room. And what does Aren-ASS do? He continues to make light of a very serious situation via his Twitter account(which much like facebook and all other social networking sites is proving to be the demise of many) and had the audacity to point his index fingers as if they were guns while surrounded by his teammates in pre-game introductions in his last game against Philadelphia. These antics most certainly drew the ire of NBA Commissioner David Stern, who ultimately handed down the suspension. It&#8217;s poetic justice that the NBA  was seemingly punished as well for allowing Aren-ASS  to play and giving him the public forum to continue to act like the &#8220;Class Clown&#8221;. Can&#8217;t help but think of the old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kudos to Coach Stan Van Gundy for making the prudent decision to insert Matt Barnes into the starting line-up replacing Mickael Pietrus. The move gives the Magic a much more aggressive/active player to help combat their inability to start games with a high level of intensity. Barnes is a tireless worker on the glass and gets out and runs the floor hard on every play. Hopefully, this type of play can rub off on his fellow teammates. Orlando has been plagued by slow starts at the beginning of games, to go along with their woeful low post scoring and extreme reliance on 3 point shots. It&#8217;s unfortunate that the Magic needed to suffer a couple of losses to serve as the impetus for change. However, it is better late than never. The move also illustrates Van Gundy&#8217;s commitment to winning and not just being satisfied with the status quo. The Magic have a tremendous wealth of talent and ultimately it is up to the coaching staff to utilize it most effectively. I&#8217;m still waiting for Marcin Gortat to be given a permanent spot in the rotation and a larger role in the Magics offensive scheme. Dwight Howard has regressed severely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After watching Vince &#8220;Cupcake&#8221; Carter hit the deck following a mild collision with  Ersan IIyasova, I immediately predicted Carter would be slow to get up, so he could milk the crowd for some attention. It is a scene I became all to familiar with while watching him play in New Jersey for the Nets. The slightest chance of faking an injury would send Carter into full &#8220;Drama Queen&#8221; mode. The replays of this play clearly showed there was no contact between Carter&#8217;s head and IIyasova&#8217;s shoulder, no matter how many times the Magic announcers tried to tell us otherwise. Much to my chagrin, I was forced to listen to media outlets attributing Carter&#8217;s false bravado as the spark that helped lead the Magic to victory against the mediocre Milwaukee Bucks. The Magic got off to a slow start, a consistent theme this season, then eventually found their shooting touch and ran the inferior Bucks out of the gym. Once again, the Magic lacked  defensive intensity and relied on their depth and the three ball to carry them to the win. As I&#8217;ve said repeatedly, this formula will work against weaker opponents, however, it will continue to hinder the Magic against the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dwight Howard had his Birthday wishes answered with a dominating performance coinciding with the Magics sixth straight victory and  eighth consecutive road win. Howard collected 24 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and a couple of posterizing dunks at the expense of Clipper starting center Chris Kaman. Worthy of &#8216;its&#8217; own stat line is the SEVEN blocked shots by the birthday boy himself, Dwight &#8220;sometimes Superman&#8221; Howard. Of course all coming with a smile on his face, which is just part of Howard&#8217;s nature I guess. Although, if I was capable of putting up those types of numbers, I might be smiling too! The Magics balanced attack was on display once again, and is the reason I feel they will ultimately be representing the Eastern Conference once again in the NBA Finals. Jason William&#8217;s had another strong performance with 16 points against the two headed monster of Baron Davis and Eric Gordon. Rashard Lewis also kicked in 17 points to help offset a quiet night from Vince Carter. Last night&#8217;s contest is a perfect example of the type of game that a championship caliber team finds a way to win. Playing against a lesser team on the road in a desolate arena.

		<description><![CDATA[As expected, the Magic took care of the hapless New York Knicks in convincing fashion. You could get the sense early on that this was going to be a good old fashion shellacking. The Magic came out with good energy, executed well and ultimately wore down a decimated Knicks line up. Depth was a big factor again for the Magic, with Brandon Bass and Matt Barnes picking up the slack on an off night for Vince Carter. Dwight Howard was his usual self, overpowering opponents and claiming his domain inside the painted area. While Rashard Lewis continues to be extremely effective with his long range accuracy since his return from suspension. Watching this game and others around the association tonight made me seriously contemplate the state of the NBA. Six out of the ten games on the slate for tonight&#8217;s action were blow outs, with the Atlanta Hawks leading the way with an impressive 146-115 drubbing of the Toronto Raptors. As many teams, such as the Knicks, jockey for salary cap relief for the impending free agent class of 2010, we the fans, are left to watch a lackluster product to say the least. The Eastern Conference actually has 10 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless, you happen to live under a rock or your  oblivious to tabloid gossip, then your probably aware of the daily drama related to Tiger Woods apparent infidelity. As much as it pains me to write about such a subject, which I believe has absolutely nothing to do with sports, or is any of our business. I feel some social responsibility to voice my frustrations via this great public forum. First, let me clarify for the record, I&#8217;m completely against infidelity whether it&#8217;s in a marriage or even a serious relationship. Society has become far too lenient when it comes to adhering to any type of moral or ethical code. We simply make excuses for poor judgement and bad behavior then medicate the culprits accordingly. The person was depressed or unhappy, so they had a legitimate reason to cheat right? Wrong! My partner doesn&#8217;t love me anymore or doesn&#8217;t shower me with affection. How about communicating that to your significant other instead of looking for a temporary fix elsewhere? If Tiger Woods did in fact stray from his wife, then he should own up to it, and take his medicine as a man. Which he has vaguely attempted to do [...]]]></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>
