Tonight, the Orlando Magic begin its quest in pursuit of a championship by facing off against a playoff nemesis from the 2009 NBA Playoffs - the Philadelphia 76ers.

It's the final season opener at the Amway Arena, also known as the O-Rena.

Are you ready?

Hell Yeah!

Sitting in the hospital waiting room is only making me more excited for the game tonight! Philly is about to get served! (Sorry rest of family)

Shaq sucks.

Has anybody seen the line? It should be Magic by 40

Don't get too overconfident!

Philadelphia is a feisty team that’ll give Orlando a nice test.

We are overdue...

Read all the reports… the press capsules… the previews… saw THE game. NOW it’s crunch time!

2008-09 was a Magical season… no one will ever forget it; and there’s no way to tell how high the Magic will reach this year…

But I have a feeling, deep inside, based on EVERYTHING I have soaked up, that THIS will be a championship year.

The word to remember is DRIVE… don’t get complacent!

Tonight it’s the first step in the long road to that Championship: “One small step for man…”.

can we get a countdown ticker or something???

so hype.

CLE looked suspect last night. Same ole stand around and watch LB show.
BOS is still very beatable.

Let’s win this one by 30 fellas!!!!

GO BLUE!!!

It is one game, so it's hard to pass judgement right now.

Let’s just worry about the Magic.

We win the East last year and get no respect in the off-season nor preseason. Cavs and Celtics are the teams to beat, thats all I hear on TV. I live with a Lakers fan (BOOOOOO) and can’t stand him rubbing it in every chance he gets. We got better in the off-season and we are deeper than anybody in the East by far. Could this be the year?? Lets go Magic this is the season we win it all!!!!!Go Blue!!!!!

We've been waiting for this for too long

Time for the last, best season at the old O-rena.

But the Magic have their work cut out for them. 1/2 game back of the Celtics already!!

by RussL on Oct 28, 2009 11:26 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

But we are also a 1/2 game ahead of the Cavaliers

Maybe finally the national media will stop putting the Cavs above the Magic since the Magic has managed to maintain a better record for the last 13 hours (as of 8:40AM PST).

It's going to take a championship to earn their respect
