The Orlando Magic face their biggest challenge of the young season when they, on the second night of a back-to-back set, host the star-laden Cleveland Cavaliers, who've had a four-day break heading into tonight. There are a lot of stoylines to attend to this evening, including:
-
the teams' first meeting since the Magic knocked the Cavs out of last year's Eastern Conference Finals in 6 games;
-
the Magic's first game of the season against an elite team;
-
and Shaquille O'Neal tangling once more with Dwight Howard and coach Stan Van Gundy.
Did I miss any?
Like the Magic, the Cavs overhauled their roster this offseason, starting with acquiring Shaq for pennies on the dollar. They also signed Anthony Parker for three-point shooting and Jamario Moon for athleticism and defense. These are good moves in theory, but the Cavs haven't quite put it together yet: they're 4-3, with their wins coming over Minnesota, Charlotte, Washington, and New York. They also lost to Toronto. Incorporating Shaq on offense appears to be the biggest issue for them, and coach Mike Brown has never been known as an offensive wizard.
More frustrating is that Brown has access to the starting lineup of a team that won 66 games last season--the most in the league--yet rarely uses it. It's a +18 in 19 minutes of use, whereas the new starting lineup with Shaq and Parker in it is at an even 0 in 88 minutes. Wow.
Brown made a change in the starting lineup for the Cavs' last game, moving second-year gazelle power forward J.J. Hickson in and putting Anderson Varejao on the bench. That tactic paid off. Then again, they were playing the Knicks, so it's tough to evaluate that lineup with any degree of certainty.
A word on Shaq before I conclude this preview: let's not forget that he's actually still damn good. He earned--and I do mean "earned"--a spot on the All-NBA Third Team last year, as well as an All-Star bid. And for all the flack he caught for flopping against Howard last March, which started his ugly war of words with Van Gundy, he otherwise handled Dwight fairly well. Nonetheless, if you'd like to continue hating on him, here's an Orlando Sentinel poll asking if he should still be feared, and here's a "Whack-a-Shaq" game that Matt Humphrey of the Sentinel put together.
Don't miss Brian Windhorst's preview of tonight's game for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Brian's arguably the best beat writer in the entire league, and I strongly suggest making his blog a daily read.

We get FUN refs tonight
Dan Crawford – Dan Crawford calls fouls more evenly than most refs, with a perfect 50/50 home/away split. Other than that, he’s relatively average.
Courtney Kirkland – I mentioned Kirkland in my write-up because he calls more road fouls than usual, at 52.6%. He also calls slightly high-scoring games, and fewer home technicals than normal (be grateful, Dwight!)
Gary Zielinski – Zielinski hasn’t just swallowed his whistle, it’s been digested. He had the fourth fewest fouls per game of all refs last year, behind Guthrie, Mauer, and Javie. When he does call fouls, he calls more on the road team than the home team. He’s a low-scoring ref, but since both Kirkland and Crawford are a smidge above average, and these are two offensively strong teams, figure on a slugging match.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
The usual 11/10 odds for totals

I would also take the Magic -1.

Little late to the party
Had to sort stuff out but Im here. Been watching the game on TV and so far Im a little worried that the cavs have FINALLy sorted there uptempo offense. They are running a bit more and Shaq is being creative in the passing lane.
I had a feeling Cleveland may win this tonight as they need the win more and we are still not 100% but no need to panic yet.
Still, Im ready for this game…..look, I even got my future wife to send an appropiate message to the Cavs in my avatar lol

At some point the Magic are going to have to decide to play some defense...
otherwise it’s going to be a very long season.
So much for the expected low-scoring game
Both teams shooting well… Magic 60%, the Cavaliers 70%.

I'd say it's just a bit of motivation in playing us after last year's elimination in this same building.
They’ll come back down to earth at some point. Hopefully we’ll still be close enough to get it close.

Well importantly, it looks early on like they've solved there offensive problems
Ebb and flow is better, they are running and passing to other players and not just doing isos for Lebron

Has to start on the defensive end and I'm skeptical Orlando can get enough stops.

You may not want to sound like one, but you do.
Let’s see how the team comes out of the locker room and if they don’t make any adjustments and don’t have a lot more energy on the defensive end, then I’ll concede. But to call a game at halftime is a bit absurd.

Well, it isn't over yet but yeah, it'll be nice to have Lewis back next Monday.
His defense should help, more than anything else.

I think we’ll be okay. The Cavs are playing on the emotional high of trying to atone for losing the ECF. They’ll come down.
Well, Mo Williams is playing out of his mind right now .
He’s a big reason why Cleveland is winning.

Yea. I agree
He’s trying to make up for the ECF. But you can’t make up for it tonight. Historically he’s a good regular season player, but chokes in the playoffs.
I don't know about historically.

Lee aint all that
I think Ryan Anderson is a way better match for the Magic especially now that our 3 point shooters seem to be struggling early this season. Plus he averages more points than Lee in less minutes
Lee's defense can't be understated, though.
It’s not all about offense.

I was hoping the Magic would finish 7-3 or 8-2 the first ten games
…and that was before all the Magic injuries.
So, despite the three bad games, the Magic have a good chance to finish 7-3 if they can beat NJ.
Magic will be getting Lewis back next week and maybe Anderson, and by then VC should be 100%.
Things will get a lot better!

I went over to the ESPN blog...
and they are saying that the reason the Cavs are winning so easily is due to the fact that the Magic no longer have the match up advantages that they had last year against Cleveland. What do you guys think? Is that the problem?
I disagree.
It’s easy to say that when Anderson and Lewis aren’t playing for Orlando. That’s why I was concerned because the Magic didn’t have that advantage to exploit in tonight’s game. It was a problem.

"The second unit is kind of crazy because the second unit is only white guys." - Marcin Gortat
I sorta agree
With guys like Parker in there, they dont have just smaller guards to deter to which Orlando could shut down. On top of that, they are much more creative on offense than last year and the first few games this season.

I know but even if they were in...its not like Mike Brown would just throw Delonte and Mo out there and be automatically mismatched
I mean it feels like Cleveland helped themselves early by just having a more fluid offense…perhaps we miss Shard and Ryan’s D..but I cant help but wonder if the guys thought Cleveland was gonna run the same slow offense they did last year and at the start of this season

Do not underestimate how important the 4-1 offense is to the Magic success.
This game shows that.
I’m extremely disappointed, but we are missing our starting 4 AND backup 4.
Plus it’s a back to back, and players look tired. It’s not an excuse, just an observation.
With Howard's foul trouble this year one of 2 things must happen
It has to stop, or the Magic need to better work Gortat in. Preferably both.

All I know is that Mo got about 10-12 pts above his average last year against us and we were without two prolific scorers, and the game is still within 15 pts with Jameer going to the line.

Lack of leadership on this team right now
In the 4th quarter Vince & Howard smiling and Jameer several times throughout this game (a very important match up when we are getting our asses kicked) indicates to me that we have some attitude problems.
They know that.
Stan talked about after the game, the players talking about needing to be honest with themselves and realize that they’re not a very good team right now. To be frank, the team is humbled.

Very painful game to watch in person.
The team and the fans need to quit fooling themselves. The defensive efforts being made game in and game out will not cut it. And its not because Turk is gone or because Anderson and Lewis are out. We just suck defensively. The Cavs didnt do anything special tonight to win. We just stunk up the building with our half ass effort and our zero defense. Mo Williams might as well been Westbrook. Lakers and Celtics would of ate us for a snack. The fact the Cavs only hung 20 points on this Y-league team shows you the Cavs have issues. But the Magic just sucked.
Spreading that Calgary Flames, Montreal Expos, The U, and Orlando Magic love.
