- UPDATE: The Orlando Sentinel reports that Rashard Lewis is a game-time decision tonight with neck spasms. If he's unavailable, James Augustine will get his first career start. James Augustine!
- UPDATE: Lewis is available and will start. Carlos Arroyo will not play due to a sore left foot.
- I'm still battling a nasty cold. Six hours of sleep after an 18-hour day? Ben Q. Rock's life: Where Exhaustion Happens.
- It'd be nice to get Rashard Lewis back on track tonight, wouldn't it? His swag, which he debuted against Milwaukee on opening night to the tune of 26 points on 9-of-13 shooting, has since disappeared. More of this, please.
- It'll be interesting to see if Jameer Nelson is on a short leash tonight. He has not played well lately and might start losing minutes to Carlos Arroyo.
- The Magic: 4th in eFG%. The Bucks: 29th in eFG% defense. Start raining threes!
- Check out Brew Hoop's preview of tonight's game from the Bucks' perspective. They're worried about Hedo Turkoglu, and rightfully so. He torched the Bucks for 24 points on opening night and averaged 21 per game against them last year.

The Doghouse
I understand Jameer getting stuck there lately because his decision making and rhythm have been counter-productive. Then again, I think Arroyo is the single biggest liability on the team, getting past his ability level in the Lig and making lazy/ill-advised passes.
We need to make a trade at guard and get someone fearless that will dribble penetrate. There has to be a way to get Lowry from Memphis and I think that we got shafted in not being able to do a sign and trade with Darko this summer.

Re: The Doghouse
I still think it's a bit too early to make any panicky moves. Arroyo has actually impressed me this year, which means it might be time to trade him; sell high, as it were. Still, he's valuable.
It's interesting that you mention Lowry because Memphis indeed has a surplus at the point with Mighty Mouse and Mike Conley. Maybe they'd let him go... for the right price. But I'd rather see us address our need for rebounding.
