SBJ: Orlando Magic Will Face Miami Heat in Amway Center Opener

PrintThe NBA will host an hourlong TV special to announce the marquee games on its 2010/11 schedule tomorrow night, but the Sports Business Journal reports that we can already count on one game taking place on opening night: the Orlando Magic will host the Miami Heat on October 28th in their new building, the Amway Center.
Andrew Sharp of SBNation.com responds:
More important than opening Amway, though, it'll be the tip-off of the 2010-11 NBA season, starting things with a rivalry game that fans have been anticipating since the moment LeBron James announced plans to join the Miami Heat. The gauntlet has been thrown down in the state of Florida, and it's up to the Magic to answer the call.
We knew the Magic would indeed have a call to answer since James' The Decision special. Now, we know when, exactly, the Magic can take on their rivals.

epic win
we are going to win big
Phew, that was easy.
See, I disagree with this
I never understand why we HAVE to always support our team. Why would anyone support the Timberwolves year after year? It seems the only reason to be loyal is because everyone expects you to be. If it’s not fun to watch your team make terrible decisions and play awful every year, then watch another team.
It’s such a pervasive notion, but I just don’t get it. Why put yourself through the torment if you don’t have to? I’ve been a Magic fan since ‘92, but I’m not afraid to say I lost a little bit of interest when they started 1-19.
Its not about the team, its about the town (or region).
Ive been a Buc fan since 1978. 10 plus years of 10 plus losses made their Super Bowl win all the sweeter. I dont like the Magic or the Bucs because of any individual or how successful or unsuccessful they are. I like them because I was born in Orlando and have lived most of my life in Central Florida. They are my home town teams and I will stick with them no matter what.
But if you are not a fan
then posting negative trash on boards like this is usually taken for trolling.

It really depends on what kind of negativity
Im a huge critic of the Magic and Ive taken alot of, pardon the pun, heat for it. Ive been mistaken for a troll and called all kinds of names for not agreeing with everything our overlord Otis Smith does. My criticism comes from a desire to see the team succeed. I think its fairly easy to seperate the troll from the critical fan.
I deliberately used the word trash to distinguish the needless crap from the spirited discourse. You have opinions I disaggree with and opinions I agree with. You don’t make meaningless posts like those we have been subjected to recently. “DUH” is likely a fan, but likely should consider changing his moniker to something less subject to ridicule and misinterpretation.
That being said, I am going to prepare my world famous meatloaf. Everyone is welcome to join me in about an hour and a half. BYOB.

you are wrong about that
I don’t really think that the Heat have a good chance against the Magic next year. What happened to all the homerism on this board? I remember after the Lakers vs the Magic finals when i first came on this website, there were homers everywhere, just counting down the seconds to multiple championships. And now it is pessimism, pessimism and more pessimism.
And against what? Not a 2 time defending champion and 3 time back to back to back NBA finalist like the Lakers, but a brand new team like the Heat who are perhaps the most unbalanced team in NBA history. Such strengths in exactly the same place, Lebron/Wade, extremely redundant. But absolute weakness everywhere else, yes, even on the front line with Bosh. Bosh is like 6’11" and 150lbs, how is this guy going to hold up the inside by himself or with d-leagers?
Everyone’s overestimating the Heat.
The homers are still around
we’ve just picked up a bunch of negative nancys recently.

Let’s just get down to business and bring a playoff atmosphere to Amway immediately. The team need set an example for the season on day one. Stomping Miami’s @&$ should work.

I was hoping for a little break before such a game

Troy Hudson & Keith Bogans Biggest Fan
What would be sweeter than to open Amway Center with a win of this magnitude..
O wait…A Championship! For serious though, I pretty sure I know the entire “Coalition of Bandwagon Heat fans” who called me up after “The Decision” with words like “ZOMG! We are winning a chamionship cause ESPN told me so, we’ll just get Nick Van Exel, he is still playing right?”. I Want to rub a solid win in their face, like a dog after he poops the carpet.
I'm happy
Although I find it odd that they’d schedule it this way. The first regular season game will be a hot sell regardless of opponent. Why not schedule Memphis for opening night and play the Heat at a later date? I’m assuming the NBA schedules games with the mindset of bringing in as much revenue as possible. Why put so many eggs in one basket?
Outside of business, I love it. Shut these guys up early
One Freaken Second
the NBA is not worried about 17k fans
at the stadium. The NBA is attempting to build momentum for the NBA season and get millions to watch on TV. The more you get to watch at the beginning, new viewers, old viewers who don’t watch NBA anymore, etc., the more momentum you build and the most viewers you gain.
They’ve got other things in mind than getting fans to come out to the stadium.
I disagree
I think total revenue for owners is the ultimate goal, everything in the NBA reflects that. Ticket sales may not be as beneficial as tv revenue, but it is still a major factor. I don’t think this is a smart business decision by the league office.
One Freaken Second
by magic fanatic on Aug 2, 2010 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions
profits are
Profits for the owners are the ultimate goal. And believe me, the way to profits is not to set up a crappy game as the season opener. It is to set up something EVERYONE will want to watch. This builds momentum for the coming season. If you get more fans to watch from the first game, the tendency for them is to watch more as the season progresses.
And plus, it’s not like we don’t have confirmation. The league has thousands of sales analysts working for them. They have come to the conclusion that you’re wrong. Who is to say if they are right nor not, but they certainly have a higher chance of being right.
The only thing I don't like about this is
the infestation convergence of Heat fans in Amway. To think that I’ll be over a thousand miles north makes me sad I can’t be closer.

I wonder who the is the longest running Magic fan here on the blog?
Anyone here from the Shaq era that stayed true through it all?
My grandmother bought me an Orlando Magic cap in 1989
I’ve been a fan ever since.

I became a fan since Dennis Scott's rookie season (the Magic's 2nd year of existence) and been a fan since
90-91?
Even though the Hippopotamus lacks a stinger for a tail, a truly wise man would rather be sat on by a bee. ~ Banacek
I'm not but I moved here in June 1990 and became a fan in October.
I’m among the thousands of “jilted lovers” who suffered the Shaq departure. I also endured the Brian Hill firing reported by Peter Vescey before Hill was actually fired, the Penny thing, the heart and hustle plan, Doc Rivers, and so on. With all that on my docket, I’m hopelessly optimistic about where we are today.
Shaq should have been the best thing that ever happened to this franchise, and turned out to be the worst for about a decade. Howard, to this point, IS the best thing to happen to this franchise.
The reason it’s good to be a Magic fan today is because our franchise is trying to win it all. No team is going to do it all every year, but if they are TRYING to win it all every year, you are in a good place.
I'm sure plenty of people would make that claim
Whether or not it’s true, I don’t know.

I helped name the team...kinda
I was one of about 4000 people that sent in suggested names for the franchise before Orlando was awarded a team. I wanted the Panthers (this was 87, way before the hockey team). I recall reading about Pat Williams efforts to bring a team here. I was a fan from that moment on. To think, we were almost the Orlando Juice, the Orlando Heat or the Orlando Tropics. LETS GET TROPICAL!! I would rather have had any of those names than the Magic. Anything to distance ourselves from Disney. Then I hear our mascot will be a dragon….cool, Im thinking something like Smaug the dragon from the hobbit. Instead, we end up with his fat, gay (not that theres anything wrong with that) green cousin STUFF. ARRRGGHHHH!!! Love my team, hate the name.
Don't hate on Stuff.
Stuff is gangsta.

Not the longest, but
I’ve been a fan since somewhere between 1990-‘92. I can’t remember exactly because I was only 4-6 at the time, but I remember I already had a basketball hoop but strangely didn’t know we had a basketball team in Orlando until my dad told me. After that I was enthralled and became completely obsessed with them. We didn’t even have a TV so I used to listen to all their broadcasts on the radio for years. I remember one time when we were losing to the Wesley Person Cavs by over 40 and I was so upset I cried. I still have some legitimately vintage paraphernalia but sadly a lot got lost through time. I miss some of my shirts from back when it was cool to mix Orlando Magic players with Tiny Toons character designs. I also remember the first game I ever went to was the one where we were losing by 1 with 3.something seconds left to the 76ers, but Darrell Armstrong stole the ball and won us the game. All these unique memories have ensured I remain a life long fan.

That is going to be a ridiculous night… can you imagine the noise in there?!?!
On a more serious note, why would we lose badly in this game? If anything, this would be one of the better chances for Orlando to win against the Heat. Besides home court advantage, with a ridiculously loud and energetic crowd for the opening night of our new building, the Magic will be playing with a championship caliber roster that has virtually gone unchanged since last year, with the core group of players having been together for years. Same players, same coach, same system. By contrast, Miami won’t have even had a chance to work out the kinks yet.
Go Magic.
Yeah, that was my first thought.
Not that I’m underestimating the Heat — simply put, nobody knows how good they’ll be. But there’s a good chance they won’t reach their full strength by October. It took the Magic half a season to really start running last year, and they didn’t make half the changes the Heat did.
I call him LeBron Jim for short.
Can Joel Anthony even smell Dwight's jock strap?
Kinda think he is going to be in for a ruuuude awakening this day…
I like the idea of opening against the Heat.
We have continuity on our side and I think that benefits us on opening night. On the other hand, at that point we won’t have a whole lot of data on how they plan to run their offense and defense except for preseason. Since they are a completely new team it might catch us off guard.
The intensity has to go up, up! Not down...UP! -Stan Van Gundy
This was a pretty smart move by the NBA
Because it will feel like the playoffs on opening night. This game won’t just be nationally televised, it will be the only thing on TV for most of sports-minded America.
...except for the World Series, which may last until early November
But Magic/Heat is must-see TV.

Looks like the NBA/ABC/TNT will be cashing in on this Florida rivalry, so we can expect just as many or even more nationally televised games than last year.

This could not have worked out better for the Magic
Go out and knock Lebrons d*ck in the dirt the first game out and he will fold faster than Superman on laundry day. It gives the Magic a chance to establish whos the alpha dog in Florida.
i think we have the advantage?
miamis got a completely new team, and we got basically the same core, so we have an advantage from that standpoint. that being said miamis still gonna be good, so we are gonna have a fight but no better way to start out the amway center than with a W

Heat 142 - Orlando 86
Bosh will have 20-14, LBJ will have 40-12-11, collapsing the new arena in the process and forcing the remaining home games to be played in UCF’s gym, while also getting tender with my girlfriend after the game. Pretty much how this year is going sports wise
Im glad the game is played on the hardwood and not on paper.
Im not dillusional about what the Magic and the rest of the NBA face this coming season. But, the Heat have alot of pressure on them. If they dont come out of the gate 29 and 1 they will be regarded as struggling. If they dont win a championship the first year, they will be regarded as a an outright failure. The pressure is on and so far Lebron has not responded well to pressure.

I’m glad we get to face them early. It’ll be an early wake up call and challenge to the Magic. Its gonna be a fun season competing with them in the same division. A lot is at stake (namely playoff seedings. We wouldnt wanna drop to a 4th playoff seed if we finish behind them in the division)

It's a great way for Magic basketball to begin in Amway Center
Of course there’s offseason and stuff like that, , but I envy those who will be in the stadium and who could possibly tell their children (and grandchildren) “I was there when Dwight posterized LBJ and Bosh combined”
Would their grandchildren really know who Bosh is at that point?
I can see Lebron’s name living on through several basketball generations, but Bosh would probably be regulated off into obscurity within 10 years after he retires. Sorta like Tom Chambers and probably Shawn Kemp.

Please don't compare
Bosh to Kemp! I actually feel insulted. Kemp co-led a team to multiple deep playoff runs including a trip to the NBA finals against MJ. Bosh rarely if ever makes the playoffs.
I think his 27 kids from 19 women would say he's more of a ladies man, but I think were saying the same thing.

Maybe Kemp swung both ways
He had quite the virile appetites.

Thinks this will be the second game for both teams, not the first. It will be the home opener at Amway, though.
The NBA kicks off on Tuesday 26th, not Thursday, so this can’t be the NBA season opener.
Great for the Locker Room
Because as of today, the Magic players know they are opening the new arena against the Super-Friends. I think it will light a spark for them in the pre-season and they will come out hot. I don’t see this game being close. Two teams will know they have everything to prove, but one has history and one doesn’t.
And besides, I think the Magic is better than the Heat. On paper or off.
GREAT
If we lose then “They’re better than the Magic.” All. Year. Long.
If we win?
