		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[The Magic are tearing through the NBA right now with a 33-8 record and look like serious title contenders right now. The improvement on both sides of the court is relevant to everyone picking up their game. Turk is what he always has been, a cold blooded beast that attacks other teams defense&#8217;s with the reckless abandon of a football player. Dwight Howard is dominating inside the paint and has dramatically improved his defense, namely his shot blocking skills. Rashard Lewis has gotten with the program and has shown a much tougher side to him on both ends of the floor. Courtney Lee is doing right now what we expected from Mickael Pietrus and when Pietrus is healthy again the bench will get that much deeper. Aside from Lee, we&#8217;ve seen all of these guys play at this level before during their careers. The one guy that has really taken giant steps forward is Jameer Nelson, and that has translated into the Magic taking a giant step forward. Nelson is having a career year for the real Orlando Blue Man Group and is bringing the team with him. If anyone said they didn&#8217;t notice before, the Laker game should&#8217;ve gotten [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Orlando capped of their 4-0 road trip last night with another convincing win, a 106-88 victory in Denver. The Nuggets are a good team but the Magic turned it up in the fourth quarter to run away with it. Turk, Nelson and Lewis took it to the Nuggets combining for 77 of the Magic&#8217;s 106 points. This win was impressive because of the night before. After the game they played the night before against the Lakers, you could see a letdown game coming. They didn&#8217;t let that happen and are establishing themselves as THE force to be reckoned with in the NBA. They have the best road record in the league and have done so while beating teams like the Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, Hawks and so on in their buildings. That Laker game was everything I thought it would be by the way. Jameer Nelson stepped up again with 28 points, which included 15 in the fourth quarter. Howard showed Andrew Bynum that he still has some growing up to do as he dominated the paint despite getting into early foul trouble. It was an outstanding game and I come away even more impressed than I already was. It was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What we have seen so far from the Orlando Magic this season has been remarkable so far and all of us fans should be excited for what may be to come. The Magic are now sitting atop the NBA along with Boston and the Lakers as the first teams to clinch the 30 victory mark and don&#8217;t look to be slowing down at all. I&#8217;ts been an awesome sight to watch this year and it has been highlighted the last week with an impressive road victory in San Antonio last night and the absolute destruction of Atlanta on Friday. Last night&#8217;s 105-98 victory over the Spurs really set them apart as the leagues best road team and has helped them let everyone know that they&#8217;re for real and need to be in the conversation as one of the best in the NBA right now. If they keep this pace up they should be considered elite, but they need to show and prove in the playoffs to really make their mark. There are a few things different this season than in the past that make me believe that this team is ready to snag a title and I&#8217;ll go through them quickly. The emergence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Magic invited the Wizards into Orlando last night for what has become common occurrence, a loss. Granted these are the Gilbert Arenas-less Wizards, but they are an NBA team none the less. Caron Butler went off for 29 points but got little help as the Magic&#8217;s balanced scoring and good defense carried them throughout. Hedo looks to be shaking off the hideous slump he&#8217;s been in the last couple games as he scored 22 on 6 of 12 shooting to lead the Magic to the 89-80 win. Dwight Howard chipped in his usual double double with 15/16 and the good offensive numbers pretty much end there. Lewis and Nelson had 26 combined on 9 of 29 combined shooting, though they hit 4 of 10 from down town. It looks like they may be headed toward a little slump themselves but I actually would like to see that. I personally would like to see the slumps go up and down until the end of the season and have everyone get hot for the playoff run, but maybe I&#8217;m being too optimistic. My favorite thing about tonight&#8217;s game was that Courtney Lee got the start. I&#8217;m developing an Evan Longoria like man-crush [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Magic headed out west last week looking to remove any doubts any of us may have had about them and what they could accomplish this year. I&#8217;m on board now! They came out last night in a game that could&#8217;ve easily been dropped with Howard out and the boys lagging from the tough trip that it was. Jameer Nelson wasn&#8217;t about to let that happen though. Nelson stepped up a dropped 32 points on the Warriors, which matched a career high, as he dropped bombs from the arc in the fourth quarter in finishing off Golden State. Nelson has been out of his mind lately and there&#8217;s nothing prettier than that high arching shot of his going through when he&#8217;s on. The way he shoots really lends to prolonged slumps during a long season, but when it&#8217;s on it&#8217;s sooooo pretty. Turkoglu was driving the lane like a wild animal and Marcin Gortat stepped up with a 16/13 effort in Howard&#8217;s absence. We have come to expect this type of play from Turk, but Nelson and Gortat have shown tremendous strides in their game and the mental toughness they both displayed on this road trip really impressed me. Turk [...]]]></description>
