Orlando Magic News for February 12th: The Dwight Howard/Stan Van Gundy "Conflict"
Drew Gooden and his considerable beard foul Dwight Howard. The Magic fouled their fans last night, flagrantly, by losing to a tired, undermanned, inferior Cleveland team. But you knew that already. Photo by Gary W. Green, the Orlando Sentinel I went through my notes from the Magic's first game...
Halftime in China: Cleveland Cavaliers 45, Orlando Magic 43
Ugh. I stayed up for this? Tonight's game, which started at 12:30 AM here on the East Coat, has not been pretty so far. Bullets: Pat Garrity has hit a number of open jump-shots, and he's really hustling on defense also. I don't know how much he'll play this season -- injuries to Rashard Lewis...

Orlando Magic Links for October 18th
I've been relishing the China Games because it means the Magic are in the national spotlight, even if it's only for three meaningless games in the middle of October. But they're soaking it up and attracting some attention, especially from the guys at NBA Fanhouse. The guys there are running a...

Reaction from Yesterday's Magic/Cavaliers Game in China
In rethinking my initial reaction to yesterday's win against Cleveland, I realized I was entirely too optimistic; I went so far as to write "it's hard not to get excited." That's the complete opposite of the truth, though. The Magic played sluggishly against a team missing two of its top players...
Orlando Magic vs. Chinese National Team -- Open Thread
I don't get NBA TV where I live, and NBA Audio League Pass doesn't seem to be working, so I'm being forced to follow today's game via the blogs of Brian Schmitz and John Denton. Schmitz says the Magic lead by 25 points at the half after falling behind early, while Denton writes that the Magic shot...
Orlando Magic 90, Cleveland Cavaliers 86
Aggressive all night, Jameer Nelson floats a teardrop over the Cleveland Cavaliers' defense Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein, NBAE/Getty Images Well, it wasn't pretty, and it doesn't count in the standings, but we should still be happy that the Magic fought back after trailing early to defeat the...
Let the (NBA China) Games Begin! / Open Thread
The Magic pose for a team photo in Shanghai. Photo by Andrew D. Bernstein, NBAE/Getty Images The Orlando Magic tip-off the first of three games in China this week tomorrow morning at 8 AM against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Aren't you excited?! I know I am, and so is this guy: A man in Shanghai...
Orlando Magic News Bullets -- October 15th
Some news from the weekend to pass along... Brian Schmitz reported yesterday that Jameer Nelson has earned the starting point guard job with his strong performance in the preseason. Good for Jameer, but I have no idea where Schmitz gets off writing that Nelson is averaging 15.5 assists per game....
