Orlando Magic News for October 26th: Dwight Howard's Power to Shape the NBA, the Need for More Offense, Pregame Festivities, and More

  • LeBron James, Dwight Howard And The 25 Most Important Figures Of The NBA Season - SBNation.com

    Mike Prada, my SB Nation pal and the head honcho at Bullets Forever, lists Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard as the most important figure in the entire NBA this season. Why? "[T]here remains no player in the NBA more capable of completely dominating both ends of the floor," Prada says. But if Howard doesn't make the leap this year, then "Orlando's title window pretty much ends."

  • The Point Forward | 20 burning questions for the new season

    At The Point Forward, Zach Lowe wonders if Orlando has enough perimeter offense:

    Stan Van Gundy has spent the preseason experimenting with ways to make his team’s offense less predictable. Will it be enough? Or do the Magic need to look elsewhere, perhaps dangling [Vince] Carter’s partially guaranteed 2011-12 deal as bait?

  • The Magic will pull out all the stops for their first regular-season game at Amway Center this Thursday against the Washington Wizards. According to a press release, "the team will hold a special pregame presentation [...] culminating with a high energy video on the NBA’s tallest, most high-definition, center-hung videoboard." The release advises fans attending the game to reach their seats by 7:55 so they won't miss the action. An outdoor "Fan Fest" on Church Street, between Hughey and Division, will start at 6.

  • Voice On The Floor " I Hope LeBron James Destroys Us All: Eddy Rivera on a hopeful dominance

    Good buddy Eddy Rivera contributed an essay about LeBron James to Voice on the Floor, a new NBA audio blog--not a podcast--from the indefatigable duo of Matt Moore and Rob Mahoney. Give it a listen, won't you?

    Boston-area radio station WEEI asked me to write a few words about the Magic and the Celtics for its season preview. You can find the resulting paragraphs here.

  • MAGIC: Denton's Mailbag: Much to Talk About

    John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com says second-round draft choice Stanley Robinson, whom the team waived last week, "is expected to go to Europe to play" due to the more lucrative contracts teams over there offer compared to what he might earn in the D-League. Denton also says Robinson could "resurface" in the NBA "if he continues to improve."

  • Twitter / @Sam Amico

    Via Twitter, Sam Amico says the Magic might be interested in free-agent shooting guard Rashad McCants. The Magic just waived Robinson, earning quite literally the smallest possible NBA salary, to save money, so I have a hard time believing they'd pony up to add a third-stringer, but maybe I'm wrong.

    McCants, a scoring machine who's averaged 10 points in 20.2 minutes per game over his four NBA seasons, didn't play in the league last season. That he can't find work is surprising, even given his reputation for being a knucklehead.

I posted in another thread~ more relevant here.

Imo if Dwight plays like he did last year, It would still be on the rest of the team if the magic didn’t get a championship. Dudes a stud, plays like a stud, and never gave up on that series. I don’t think he has to improve, other than being a leader that makes his team mates realize their importance. He is already far and away the best big man in the league, if thats not good enough the finger shouldn’t be pointed at him. He already does more than his paycheck, more than anyone in the league in my opinion, and he IS our defense. Its a crime how much is being expected out of him, he’s the best player in the league even if he averaged 10 points- now people are expecting 25-30 a night in they play-offs – which if mixed with the rest of the game would be more to carry his team than Jordan even did, let alone modern stars.

in short: Dwight Howard is amazing, a top player. Expecting even more out of him is to expect him to have more impact than any player is even close to.

And for you Mr. Dunlap from that post:
"But here’s the thing: there remains no player in the NBA more capable of completely dominating both ends of the floor. "

I think Dwight deserves his mvp even if he did nothing on offense, the fact that our offense can expect 20 points out of him is just icing on the cake.

Dwight Howard for mvp, defensive mvp, athlete of the year, president, and the first guy to get picked up in ANY pick up game anywhere.

I don't know... you have to wonder about the Heat.

I know it’s just one game. But it’s already apparent they have no post D, no rebounding, and none of their main guys can shoot the three with any kind of efficiency.

And I know James and Wade are just getting used to playing together, but damned if they don’t seem to be getting their wires crossed repeatedly. It may be time to consider these two players… what exactly does Wade bring to the Heat that LeBron doesn’t do better? I understand having two stars, but if the second star is just a smaller, less talented version of the first star… why?

so wait, the cavs were zero supporting cast and now you want to get rid of Wade to give more room to LBJ ?

To be serious though, I saw parts of the game today and that Miami D sure sucks. Beside the post, Dwight etc. they collapse too fast and too many and they can’t defend a good ball movement, Magic can take great advantage friday before Heat will start to figure some things out (which eventuelly will be the case).

I don't think Wade does much that LeBron doesn't do.

Except that LeBron is a more accurate scorer and better passer.

Ideally, you’d have a cast of players who were better than the Cavs (not difficult), but also skilled at things LeBron didn’t specialize in. A post scorer (Bosh does this.) A defensive/rebounding big man. At least one more three-point shooter, probably more. Instead you’ve got Wade, who loves to take isos and shoots 30% for three. Their skills are redundant.

And meanwhile, you’ve got Joel Anthony starting. Joel Anthony single-handedly cancels out Wade. The difference between Joel Anthony and an average NBA center is like the difference between an average NBA center and Dwight Howard.

They need more balance, and Wade is worth less to the Heat than he is to basically any other team in the league. I’m not saying they will get rid of him, I’m saying the way the team is built is flawed even beyond the fact that they only have 5 or so legit rotation players.

man I see your point, I just enjoy teasing you about your LBJ love

the other thing that Wade does better is being the Heat’s franchise player the last few years and getting them a ring so good luck getting rid of him soon. Besides it’s not like they weren’t aware of that problem, let’s just hope they’ll take time to figure things out. Unlike Eddy I don’t look forward for LBJ to destroy us all, I want Dwight to do it.

Well, the talent level, on average, is suspect.

On a scale of 1 to 10:

Two 10;s

Mike Miller would be a 7 but may not be back
maybe 2 6’s
and a bundh of 3’s and 2’s.
