It's not really respect more than it is an example of a title contender being showcased by the NBA.
This is normal.

Yeah, that month is insane.
11 away games.

Definitely good to see this team getting more exposure
But the defending Eastern Conference Champs couldn’t get their first game nationally televised?
Nah.
That’d be too much. Hah.

Yeah, the reunion with Lee and Turkoglu starts early.

Freaky - Wednesday is the only day we have more home games than away games
Schedule looks fairly benign – no late-night West Coast games with an East Coast game the next day. The closest would be @ LA on 1/18 and Indiana (at home) 1/20. January’s not going to be fun, though.
"When you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is

We do face all the top east teams 4x though, and many of the cupcakes 3x
New Jersey, Milwaukee, New York, Chicago(not a cupcake) all 3x
Cleveland, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington, Indiana all 4×.
Still… Not having a road trip longer than 4 games is sure nice.
Would rather have a brutal January
Than a brutal March/April.
Looking for forward to it. Should be a good test.
THis is awesome, all the nat tv appearrances is by far the most in franchise history.
Jan 18- rematch lakers-magic, lets do it Magic :)
Yeah, it's the most national appearances in franchise history.

Nice the Magic have a pretty easy start to our schedule which will give us time to gell
The Magic had better stomp the new Detroit Pistons. I’m sick of losing to them
Yeah, the beginning of the season looks fairly benign.

"Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgement." - Michael Corleone
agreed re the pistons
with dice, sheed and chauncey now gone, they CAN’T own us any more. i was VERY nervous to play them in the first round last year, and still think we may have lost to them if we’d have drawn them (and we came incredibly close to doing so). how different would we all feel about everything right now if we’d have had a first round exit at the hands of the pistons?? extremely happy that team has disbanded!
The Pistons paranoia needs to stop, and it needs to begin this season.

"Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgement." - Michael Corleone
no, our losing to detroit needs to stop and it needs to stop this season
the paranoia will stop as soon as the losing stops
Detroit won't be an issue this season.
Actually,I would love if Orlando gets them in the 1st round,that would be a helluva way to start ’offs.
Bring 'em on.

I feel ya, man
I was actually hoping to get them last year. To get the “monkey off our back”, so to speak.
Thank God I wasn't the only Magic fan that was VERY nervous about drawing Detroit in the playoffs
The only problem I see that we will have with Detroit is if Ben Gordon comes of the bench. Gordon can score at will on any of our backup wing players. Pietrus may be too big to chase Gordon around the floor

detroit is a normal, mid-tier team now. i just hope that
hamilton, prince and stuckey don’t teach gordon and villanueva that they’re supposed to own us now. i mean, who are their bigs, villanueva, maxiell and kwame?? rubbish. dice used to absolutely OWN us — that’s part of the reason i wanted him on our squad so badly.
Weird that we start and end the season at home against the Sixers.
Let's observe a moment of silence for CLee, Skip to my Lou, Batman, and The Michael Jordan of Turkey...
Welcome Back Polish Hammer and Welcome Vinsanity, Ryan Anderson, Brandon Bass, and Matt Barnes!!
I'll take it.

Howard should give Dalembert another People's Elbow...
It would be worth the suspension

Here's how i'd rank the top-8 most interesting teams to come to town this year
Anybody disagree?
1. Lakers (championship rematch + Artest)
2. Cavs (ECF rematch + the Big Douchenozzle)
3. Celtics (Ubuntu + Sheed)
4. Spurs (The Big 3 + Dice and RJ)
5. Raptors (Should be a good team this year + Bosh + Turk)
6. Nuggets (WC Finalist + Melo + Chauncey + Birdman)
7. Heat (One reason: DWade)
8. Pistons (Can we reverse the curse?)
Not a bad list.
Personally, I can’t wait to see the Thunder roll into town. Seriously.

"Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgement." - Michael Corleone
I feel you, man
Probably my 3rd favorite team behind the Magic and Spurs. KD’s gotta be my favorite player outside of the Magic and I love Russ’s game. Plus they got a good crop of rookies this year. Also rooting for Shaun Livingston’s comeback.
Yeah, there's a ton to like about what the Thunder are building and doing.

good call re the thunder
i have to agree with that. maybe you slot them in after the raps and ahead of the nugs. not sure i can put jersey above any of these teams — the nets are just too god-awful.
I don't think the Nets will be too bad.
Harris is an All-Star, Lee will improve, ditto with Lopez. I wasn’t too impressed with Terrence Williams in Summer League, but nevertheless, he’ll see plenty of minutes. I think New Jersey will be okay.

"Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgement." - Michael Corleone
It'll be interesting to see how Harris takes over being THE leader
They have a lot of young pieces to like and will have a real good core for the next few years, but I don’t really see them doing much this year.
Can’t wait til they come to play us, though.
any chance we lure durant away
in a couple years, when he becomes an FA and VC’s deal is up? how good would we be with d12 and kd as a neWcleus?
Hmmmmm....
My concern with getting Kevin Durant is (obviously) cost, monetarily and player personnel. Plus the fact that I believe he’d really stay with Oklahoma City because they gave him the opportunity to be the player he is and will be. Many players say that they’d stay with their teams, but I actually believe him.
But don’t get me wrong, I’d be happy to see him come here if that were possible (and we didn’t have to give up too much).
No Mas Kobe and Lakers
I yearn for the xmas day that I do not have to be subjected to neither Kobe Bryant nor the Lakers. I mean if Kobe is such the family man he is, why does the NBA keep pulling him away from his family on xmas!?!? Geez….
Spreading that Calgary Flames, Montreal Expos, The U, and Orlando Magic love...get it on Twitter : KingJafi29.
it's a shame to only have one channel, huh?
or does your family tie you to the Barcalounger and tape your eyes open during the telecast? ;-) lol
Don’t get mad, get even. Turn off the Lakeshow and stick it to the TV ratings. :-)
Hope you enjoy your family and the rest of the day’s lineup.
The analog to digital conversion has been brutal on my dad...
…he’s still trying to use the bunny ears but can’t get any signal. I told him to get a digital convertor box on the government’s dime…but he says he’s not into all this new technology.

What an awesome schedule
Both the Magic’s and the NBA’s full schedule is fantastic this year. I’ve never been more excited for the season.
It's not a dunk unless your hand makes contact with the rim. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, "Superman..."
Absolutely. Should be a fun year.

Most in franchise history?
Even more than the Shaq and Penny era?
Cause I swore they’d always televise a game from the O-rena on NBC and TNT during 94-96.

I don't know, but NBA on NBC had one of the best themes ever
Can’t believe it was John Tesh who wrote it, lol
It's the most in franchise history.
