UPDATE: per Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports, Stephen Jackson is expected to start for Charlotte tonight.
The Orlando Magic will welcome the indispensable Rashard Lewis back to their lineup tonight when they host the Charlotte Bobcats. You know, in case you hadn't heard.
I have little to say about Charlotte that I didn't mention when these teams met last week, but I would like to better contextualize its horrendous offense: the Bobcats' efficiency rating of 92.5 would tie them with three other teams for the fourth-worst rating in history, so we're dealing with potentially record-setting putridity. It's easy to see why, given that the Bobcats shoot a lower effective field goal percentage, and turn the ball over at a higher rate, than any other team in the league this season. That is... that's something else.
They attempted to address their need for scoring today when they traded Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic to Golden State for Stephen Jackson and Acie Law IV. My take is that it makes no sense for them on the court or in the ledger. Jackson's posted an offensive rating of 97 and a True Shooting percentage of 49.9% so far this season, both well below-average. He might become more efficient if he took a lesser role, but that's just the thing: if anything, he'll have to handle more offensive responsibilities in Charlotte than he did as a Warrior, because he's the only non-point guard they have who can create his own shot; I put little faith in Gerald Wallace's ability to do the same. What it boils down to is that the league's worst offensive team dealt for one of its least efficient offensive players; of players with usage rates greater than or equal to Jackson's this season, only Bobby Brown and Jonny Flynn have worse offensive ratings. Oh, and Jackson has three years and $27.7 million remaining on his deal. Probably calamitous.
Ric Bucher of ESPN reports that Jackson is en route to Orlando and hopes to play; Bobcats coach Larry Brown told Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer that Jackson could start tonight.
With Lewis and Ryan Anderson, who's also expected back tonight, draining threes, the Magic's offense should kick back into high gear after some mediocre performances. Which is all just a roundabout way of saying the Bobcats don't have the firepower--unless Jackson's in vintage "eff-you" mode--to keep up with the Magic if they crack open a big lead. Then again, that didn't prevent Raymond Felton (of all people) from leading Charlotte's comeback bid against Orlando last week, so nothing's a given here. Except for that Lewis will receive a huge ovation. You can write that one down.
Game tips at 7. It's as must-see as a mid-November game against a lottery team gets, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Holy @$&?!!!! Didn’t see that trade go down yet. Thank god Cavs didn’t get him. I’ll say for some reason, I really like Jackson, and I think Cats just got alot more powerful. He may not be terribly efficient, but he will not be afraid to run plays and offense. The offense shoul rise, if only inefficiently again atleast. Hopefully we see him tonight too. Rashard Lewis will nail a bunch of 3’s for the win tonight. :P

You seriously need to make a spreadsheet so we can post it on the site, if you don't mind.
I think a lot of people, here and elsewhere, would be interested in your referee data.

Jackson is a pretty good offensive player
He’ll probably average 17 and 5 for Charlotte, which is much better than what Raja was doing.
It's not a dunk unless your hand makes contact with the rim. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, "Superman..."
You have to take into account pace, though.
I’d be shocked if Jackson matched his production with the Bobcats, who play at a snail’s pace.

Well here's my rationale.
1. Pace will probably knock off 4-5 points, 1-2 assists.
2. He’ll still get a ton of minutes.
3. He’s now the best scorer on the Bobcats, and is a number one option. Therefore, Usg rate goes up. That will probably make up a little bit of that production.

He’s a pretty dang good defender too. Wouldve been easier to focus on it if W’s took the Cavs deal instead.
by derekk on Nov 16, 2009 6:49 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Another great opportunity for the Magic's defense to look much better than it is.
As well as the opportunity for the offense to look REALLY good against a team that is incorporating two brand new players.

Magic are favored by 12 points

Yahoo! Sports isn’t updating the stats, and cbssports doesn’t even have Jackson’s name in the starting lineup for the Bobcats. According to them, there are just 4 players on the floor for the Bobcats.

Magic defense was fine in the first quarter but the second quarter was a different story.
Foul trouble for Dwight Howard had something to do with it. Brandon Bass looked lost defensively, at times.

Charlotte has no three-point threats to speak of, aside from maybe Murray and Jackson.
Orlando just needs to force them to shoot strictly from the perimeter.

10 of 30 isn't great...
…but it won’t kill us. Just hope Shard recovers his shot soon — he went in there and made some twos late in this game, but the dude’s 3 is nowhere.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
And that's what matters

Looks like the Hawks wrapped up the victory in OT.
NBA Championship or bust in '09-10!!!! GO MAGIC!!!!
Wallace is like a bull in a china shop. He's quick, and uses that quickness to get a step, then just bowls into his defender every time he touches the ball.
Has no real offensive game to speak of though.

What I would love. . .
Is to see the Magic play good ball for a full 48 minutes one of these days
I am the world's best basketball player! *
* Among those with no skills whatsoever
Given the injury struggles and Shard's suspension (and now re-emersing him back into the offense)
Struggling a bit to find their way may be what you have to settle for. If this is still going on for 2 months running, than I’d share your concern.
Tonight? I don’t. I’m just happy the Magic survived with a win.

I love how Stan took Vince out to play offense-defense with 20 sec left...
And then Stephen Jackson, who Vince was guarding, blew by Matt Barnes and got to the rim.
It's not a dunk unless your hand makes contact with the rim. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, "Superman..."
OKC on Wednesday
Yippee.

Magic hang on to win by 6
Magic shoot 43% from the field, 34% on threes, and 64 1/2% from the FT line.
7 players in double figs for the Magic, while Murray with 31 and Diaw with 21 lead CHA.
CHA shoots 51% from the field, but just 58% from the FT line.

If the Bobcats make just 6 more free throws, it's a tie game
…of course, the Magic were mediocre on FTs, too, but not as bad as CHA.

But it’s all coulda shoulda woulda. Be happy the Magic are far better than the Bobcats. That’s what really won the game for Orl.

You said it, pookey
Magic left a lot of points with their three point shooting, missing 21 threes.
The Magic superiority finally won out, though.

Not exactly an overwhelming victory for the Magic, but they will get better with more practice time with all the regulars back.

Well, that was... uninspiring.
Lewis is back, which is good, but it may take him a game or two to find his step. Good news is, both Ryan and Bass had good games. We’ve heard it before, but Ryan just scores points. it’s what he does.
Also a good game by Jameer. Not a huge volume shooting/assist night, but he kept the accuracy up, and he kept Felton in check. And Howard just didn’t have it on offense, but he managed to make an impact. That’s what we need: a guy who can do things even when he’s not on his top form.
Less impressed with the Magic’s ability to handle a small ball lineup… Wallace and Jackson didn’t do that much, but Diaw and of course Murray lit the team up. I’d hate to think we can be outrun… though then again, none of the top contenders do a lot of running. (Though a lot of the second-tier ones/early season surprises do: Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver.)
I’ll keep waiting. Things will come together eventually.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Nelson did have a nice numbers game all-around
16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and just 2 TOs.

And... I hesitate to say Felton was a non-factor...
…if only because he’s FREQUENTLY a non-factor. But he didn’t BECOME a factor, and neither did Augustin.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Right... Felton and Augustin combined for 8 pts, but did have a combined 9 assists
