Tonight's Preseason Game: Orlando Magic at Dallas Mavericks

Orlando Magic at Dallas Mavericks, Oct 5, 2009 8:30 PM EDT

Yeah, so, we're here.

The Orlando Magic kick off their 2009/2010 schedule with tonight's exhibition matchup versus the Dallas Mavericks. And Brian Schmitz might have put it best when he wrote, "Some assembly is required." In this blog posting, Schmitz writes that coach Stan Van Gundy will have to juggle lineups during the preseason to account for the Magic's new players, as well as to account for Rashard Lewis' 10-game suspension to begin the regular season. It sounds a bit harried, what with the plans to bench Lewis for some games and not others, and to shift starting lineups in the first 5 games of the 8-game preseason schedule.

Given the team's championship aspirations, this game would be interesting enough no matter the opponent. That it comes against Dallas is really something, isn't it? Mike Fisher of DallasBasketball.com helped me suss out the storylines in this post, but these teams are tied together in ways that may not seem readily apparent. There's the Magic's signing Bass away from the Mavericks--they parted on amiable terms, which is nice to know--then matching their offer to backup center Marcin Gortat, thus forcing them to sign former Magic forward Drew Gooden for depth at the power positions. Oh, and Mavs point guard Jason Kidd and Magic shooting guard Vince Carter played together for three-plus seasons with the New Jersey Nets, and they'll likely spend time defending each other tonight, given the cross-matching that the presence of 5'11" shooting guard J.J. Barea in Dallas' lineup will encourage.

Those are fairly obvious points. But it was a collision between Nelson and Erick Dampier that sparked the Magic's whole Season Of Destiny last year, wasn't it? Nelson banged into Dampier trying to chase down an offensive rebound, separated his shoulder, and wound up missing the rest of the regular season. GM Otis Smith, not satisfied with his initial remedy to the lack of point guard depth (trade for Tyronn Lue!), obtained Rafer Alston at the trading deadline. Alston helped the Magic more than tread water in Nelson's absence, they got to the Finals, lost, and now here we are.

Anyway, the game tips at 8:30, but you won't be able to see it on TV, as Schmitz writes in his list of 5 things to listen for tonight. Me? I'm interested to see how Van Gundy uses Lewis and Bass, but--and let's be honest here--this is Carter's night. There's no pressure for him, as it's a preseason game, in the other team's arena, that hardly anyone will see live. The Daytona Beach native won't have to worry about pleasing his hometown crowd, as he might when he first sets foot on the Amway Arena parquet in Magic pinstripes. Yeah, he's a known commodity as an 11-year veteran and a household name, but let's admit that we're most curious as to how the biggest gamble Smith's ever made works out.

Anyway, the game tips at 8:30. It's not televised anywhere in Orlando, but if you're in Dallas, you can see it on KTXA (thanks, 3QC reader adammi). In Orlando, you can catch the on radio by tuning in to AM 580 WDBO.

It's funny

But the Kings really got lucky by being screwed in a draft where they could get a payer who ultimately is a much better fit for their needs. I don’t think a single Kings fan would be happy if the KIngs had taken Reke #1 over Griffin. He would have been the better choice, but most Kings fans would have never accepted it. It was better the Kings selected 4th this year.

Now next year, I’m praying to the God I don’t believe in that the Kings get Derrick Favors.

I’m going to give him this year to show something beyond what he’s already shown, or else I’m going to pigeonhole him into something worse than what I think he can ultimately be.

My biggest concern, funny, is that he won’t be able to stay healthy for one reason or another.

He's better than Swift

He can play at the NBA level. The question is at what level, for what quality of a team. D12 and Shawes would be a dynamite PF/C combo for instance. Their games fit perfectly together.

DX's mock draft

Aldrich is top 5 (or was), Willie Warren (OU), Donatas Mateunjas (Lithuania), Ed Davis (UNC) among others. There are some other players that are lottery picks that are bigs too. Good year to be in need of a big.

It's usually BPA at the position they need most

Unless it’s a clear franchise player and there isn’t another talent that fits the roster who has everything they need.

John Wall vs Derrick Favors is a great example of that. There is no way the Kings would take Evans and Wall in b2b years unless they believe Evans is not a franchise player (which they do privately believe right now).

Depends on who you ask

And it depends on what happens this season on the court. Hawes is a damn good player and has shown signs of this. (As funny asked just above.) On the other hand, he also had a game vs Atl where he grabbed 0 boards in like 28 mins. I can’t explain to you how awful that was. You can figure it out, but Spencer can’t do that again.

On the other hand, Spencer is only 21, he’s going through his 3rd coach (after having 2 in his first 2 seasons), and he’s going to get a truly consistent message from a veteran coaching staff who gets it. It’s going to take him some time (Westphal said today that Shawes isn’t going to start for tomorrow’s game despite being slated to start) to get used to Westphal’s way, but when he does he will thrive if he has gotten stronger and worked on his game the way he needed to.

On the other hand, Spencer has had some moments of immaturity in the past and I think it muddy’s up the water for the folks from the outside who don’t have a good feel for the situation with Spencer.

JT is very solid as a player, maybe David West level upside, but I’m not sold on that. On the other hand, I’m convinced he’ll have a 15 year career.

Beyond those 2, the Kings are pretty thin up front unless you count Sean May and Jon Brockman as count on players. (I don’t just yet.) The Kings need more help up front if they want to be a playoff contender let alone a championship contender.

He was that way with the Dubs & Suns too

This is a recent development, I think, because he was barely hanging on to his career before 2004. Then, the Kings invited him to camp on a non-guaranteed contract (that became guaranteed) and then his dream job went away when he got traded along with Webber in the deal to Philly. (Worst part about that deal from my POV.)

Anyway, I think he found a way he thinks he can stick in the league and make a paycheck. He’s doing something right to that end I gotta say.

Always hard for me to take pre-season seriously

I remember when Minnesota went 8-0 in pre-season (I think 1994), and then went out and won 25 games on the season.

Like I said, I don't take it seriously but I do think it matters for Orlando.

And SVG would agree, given how many new guys are on the team.

Yeah it's the time to work out kinks

It’s proof that chemistry is not as simple as rolling the ball out there and seeing what happens. No matter what happens, the biggest goal in pre-season is to avoid injuries at all cost.

Losses mean very little in the pre-season

But it hurts no one to win a game here or there either. Always the way it’s been, and always the way it will be. Come Oct 28th, that’s when the real criticism matters.

Pre-Season is good for many things though if you’re a junkie.
