The Orlando Magic's 2011/12 season begins this Christmas Day with a visit to Chesapeake Energy Arena to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tipoff is set for 8 PM on ESPN nationally and Sun Sports in the Orlando market.
As I write this post I'm headed out to spend time with the family, but will be back in plenty of time to watch the game. Comment along here before, during, and after the season opener, won't you?
