		<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[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[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 recently gave me some feedback about my blog postings stating that there weren&#8217;t many positive stories. This was delivered to me on the heels of the Magics dreadful loss to the Chicago Bulls this past Saturday night, leaving me in a rather precarious position. Instead of ripping the Magic for losing to the Bulls, who were in the midst of self destructing themselves, I decided to bite my tongue or in this case my fingers and give them a chance to redeem themselves against the Pacers on Tuesday. With the Pacers dealing with injuries to Danny Granger and Troy Murphy, you would think this was an ideal scenario for a team looking to regain their composure on the road. Much to my dismay, the Magic mailed it in against the Pacers, being severely outplayed by a second rate team and even more surprisingly a second rate big man in Roy Hibbert, who simply embarrassed Dwight Howard. Hibbert turned in 26 points and 8 rebounds against Dwight &#8220;The Coward&#8221; Howard, who manages a mere 11 points on 2-7 shooting and 15 boards. I was unaware Roy Hibbert was even on the Pacers until this game, and then to see [...]]]></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[After watching a frustrating, yet understandable loss at Utah last week, followed by another heartbreaker the following night in Phoenix against the Suns, I decided to take a few days off to see how the Magic would respond. As expected, they returned home Monday night and won and ugly game against the very physical Indiana Pacers. Followed by an unimpressive dismantling of the feeble Toronto Raptors last night. I think we can all agree that a couple of victories at home against the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors is not quite an accurate barometer of where this Magic team is at. So I waited on the outcome of tonight&#8217;s rematch against the Miami Heat, who narrowly escaped Orlando&#8217;s Amway Arena with a victory less than a month ago, courtesy of a last second put back shot by Michael Beasley off an errant D Wade Jumper. Before giving out my humble assessment of this Magic Team as presently constructed, I want to go on record as having taken into account the Magic are playing 3 games in 4 nights after returning from a long West Coast road trip. Having said that, I was still completely frustrated by the performance the Magic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Orlando Magic, fresh from a night off, strolled into Utah to take on a Jazz team who just suffered a debilitating loss the night before to the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers. A perfect scenario for the Magic to continue on their winning ways. As expected the Jazz looked sluggish early on and the Magic were hitting on all cylinders, building what you would think would be an insurmountable 18 point lead. Well, think again folks, because the always tough at home Utah Jazz had other plans. I can&#8217;t help but think that the momentum change was spurred on when Rashard Lewis pulled a Scottie Pippen in the 2nd quarter; refusing coach Van Gundy&#8217;s orders to get back in the game. Lewis, saddled with 2 fouls, later claimed he felt Ryan Anderson had it going and didn&#8217;t want to interrupt his hot streak.  Unbelievable as it sounds for a player making a cool $118 millions bucks to refuse a coaches instruction. Stan Van Gundy himself, who has coached some questionable characters in his career, claims he has never had a player question his authority in this manner. Even if Rashard Lewis thought he was being unselfish, is this the [...]]]></description>
