Former Magic player Rashard Lewis responds to Dwight Howard's "unwanted teammates" comment.

May as well post it here, too (this was originally posted in the Magic vs. Grizzlies Post Game Recap, in the comments section). This is a very interesting research paper presented at this year's MIT Sloan Sports Conference, which outlines a new way of quantifying a defender's interior defense. The user "3.3.seconds" gave a very interesting comment, saying that this method is not without its flaws. For instance, PF rate must be accounted for the amount of times a defender sends an offensive player to the foul line. Also, Andrea Bargnani (lol) is identified as elite in one of the metrics presented here... Enjoy!

After watching the Magic get crushed by the Kings tonight I put together this little page to quickly calculate when the game is completely out of reach. Someday it will be just as useful when the Magic are the ones doing the stomping. Update: I've now moved the site to its own more memorable domain and added some automatic score updating.

The current (2/27) rookie ladder on NBA.com has BOTH Andrew Nicholson & Maurice Harkless in the running top 10 list of rookies this year! Nicholson holds the #5 spot with Harkless right behind him at #6. Great job, rooks!

gives some stats that may explain why we took Tobias Harris over late draft pick

Entertaining article about 12th men in the NBA. Greg Kite gets several paragraphs near the end of the article. I actually remembered the fight he had against Rony Seikely that the article mentions.
