PrintWashington Wizards at Orlando Magic, Jan 6, 2009 7:00 PM EST
UPDATE: Courtney Lee will get his first career start tonight for the Orlando Magic, according to Kyle Hightower of the Orlando Sentinel. Lee will start in place of Keith Bogans, who has been bothered by foot and ankle issues lately. Here's Lee on getting the opportunity to start:
"I'm definitely excited, but I just have to focus on it the same as any other game," Lee said. "I just have been going out there being prepared, knowing the situation and focusing on the personnel."
UPDATE 2: Ivan Carter of the Washington Post reports Darius Songaila will replace Andray Blatche in the Wizards' starting lineup. (HT: Bullets Forever)

The Washington Wizards accomplished the improbable on Sunday afternoon, beating the juggernaut Cleveland Cavaliers thanks in large part to LeBron James' being called for traveling en route to making what would have been the game-tying basket. In a lot of ways, they did the Orlando Magic a favor. By knocking off Cleveland on the same day the Magic lost to Toronto, the Wizards ensured the Magic did not lose any ground to the Cavaliers in the standings.
So tonight, the Magic will look to thank the Wizards... by beating the pants off them. That's what they did on Thanksgiving, when Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard combined to score 46 points against a mostly helpless Washington defense. Not much has changed for Washington. It still doesn't have a reliable defensive anchor in the middle, nor does it defend the three-point line well. In Howard, the Magic have one of the league's deadliest interior scorers; in Rashard Lewis, they have the league's most prolific three-point shooter. It should add up to spell disaster for Washington...
...emphasis on the word "should." After all, the Wizards still have Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, two All-Stars capable of scoring 40+ points on any given night. And for all their defensive faults, this team still beat the Magic by holding them to a 33.8% shooting performance last season, on Hedo Turkoglu's birthday, no less. The Magic can't afford to take the Wizards, even at 7-25, lightly. I imagine they'll be extra motivated to put this game away early, given how poorly they played against Toronto on Sunday. I'm hoping for a rout1, but not exactly counting on one, either.
The tip's at 7 on FSN Florida. Enjoy. Go Magic.
1: as an aside, a rout would likely mean playing time for Washington reserve point guard Javaris Crittenton, whom many Magic fans wanted Orlando to acquire from Memphis before it traded him to Washington. Since joining the Wizards, Crittenton has played in 8 games, and has averaged 7.8 minutes per game, 0.9 points per game, 1.4 rebounds per game, 0.8 assists per game, and 1.1 turnovers per game. He's shooting 25% from the field. Kinda makes Magic fans appreciate Anthony Johnson more, no?

Also with a rout . . .
We can potentially witness Jeremy Richardson score his first points of the season. I just read on ESPN that he is one of five players this season that has played at least one game but has yet to score a point.
Will he even be active tonight?
Not gonna lie, I consider myself a huge Magic fan. With that said, if Jeremy Richardson passed me in the mall I wouldn’t know.

Javaris has actually started to play a bit in non-rout situations
So you’ll probably see him anyway.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Has he shown any promise?
Magic fans were begging for him for several months until Memphis finally traded him to Washington. For whatever reason, there was an assumption that he could defend because he was a tall point guard (at least that was my interpretation of the many comments about him).
Magic fans (including myself) were begging for Arthur more than McGee.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
Sorry, dude.
I feel kinda dumb because I feel like I’m missing something obvious here. What do you mean by Arthur & McGee? Is that just a saying or a couple of players?
They were in the draft last year
JaVale McGee vs. Darrell Arthur. When I said Javaris, erivera probably thought I was referring to JaVale McGee. I think he got confused.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yeah, my bad. I thought I saw Javale, not Javaris.
My bad.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
Eh
He’s just started to get time. I’d say it’s an incomplete at this point.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

Kyle Hightower reports that Courtney LEE will start in place of Bogans! Big news because Bogans has been KILLING us as of late.
Great news.
Kid deserves it .. Bogans has been terrible all season, to be frank.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
This should be interesting
I personally prefer that J.J. starts so Lee can give energy from the bench (somebody has to overcompensate for Anthony Johnson’s deficiencies, after all). Also, I’ve always been astounded how J.J.’s hair never gets ruffled while playing.
Bogans has been seriously struggling, so hopefully, this bit of rest/demotion will kickstart him to making those open 3’s again.
True, but I want to see how Courtney handles himself as a starter.
The Magic know what he can do off the bench, now they want to see what he can do as a starter.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
Been on the Courtney Lee bandwaggon prior to draft night, very excited for him.
Howard+Jameer+Lee+Rashard’s contract = Future.
I have this very unrealistic fantasy that . . .
Lee will turn into a version of Dwyane Wade. I was mostly thinking/dreaming of this because Van Gundy had Wade for his rookie year and helped develop him back in the day. Why couldn’t he do it for our rook? Obviously, Wade is in another stratosphere in terms of being a player, but a guy can dream.
He could be a Rodney Stuckey type.
That’s a bit more realistic.

All I know is...
There better not be any crab dribbling tonight!

From here on out, Courtney Lee will be the Magic's starting SG for the remainder of the year!
Wishful thinking… but depending on Pietrus’ injury, you just never know!
It's weird watching Howard talk about Lee as if he is a sage advisor . . .
when he is actually a few months younger than Lee.
I read about how Dwight had a little handshake/greeting for all of Toronto's starters except Solomon
I wonder if he’s like that with every team

Lol, I like that.
How nice would it be if Gortat developed a short jumper similar to those two?

Very nice
I really hope the Magic find a way to keep Gortat this summer. He wants to play more, and he won’t do that behind Dwight…. plus he could always go back to Europe.
I know
it’s going to be tough to compete with the money thrown at him from Europe. What’s Battie’s contract like? I’d almost rather have Gortat as the every day backup center than Battie, the Magic have enough shooters they can do without Tony’s 10-12 footer if they need to.

I wonder who'll be the first SG off the bench for the Magic...
Bogans or Redick. If Bogans has too many injury problems, it might be Redick that comes off first.

Even if he were healthy, he needs a night off. Like baseball players in a slump, just get his mind off of it for one night.

He may need more than a night off .. he's been in a slump the entire season.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
True, but unlike baseball NBA players don't perfect their craft daily
You can’t hold him out for that long, unless, he is indeed injured.

I was being sarcastic, I know it's impossible unfortunately.
To be honest, he’d be helping the team NOT play rather than play given how poorly he’s done so far this season.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
Well, we could cut him.
But he was more than serviceable last year off of the bench/starting, he hit many clutch 3’s, I think he’ll come around.
by DieSlowKeyshawn on Jan 6, 2009 7:34 PM EST up reply actions
Hope so.
His poor play burns a hole in my heart .. only outdone by a player without a neck.
Senior Writer for DePaul's Scout.com website
That might be good for Keith
Bogans sure hasn’t done anything to distinguish himself lately; in fact, since that great defensive performance in the fourth quarter against Kobe Bryant (where Bryant shot 1 for 7 in the fourth) about 2 and a half weeks ago.

More from LeBron:
“Everything I do is a big deal,” James said, smiling. “It’s easy for people who don’t play the game of basketball to say something about a certain move. You hear all the people on SportsCenter talk about it, but they’ve never touched a basketball in their lives. They just report about it.”
