Brown Bag it, Baby
Like so many of you, I didn’t stick around to watch the ending of Game 5 between the Magic and Hawks Tuesday night. The game was a blowout from the start and there were far more interesting things to watch, such as the Bruins-Canadiens or …
It was only two years ago when the Orlando Magic had reached the NBA Finals before deciding they had done enough for the season and laid down at the hands of the Lakers. That team had a lethal combination of the most dominant big man in the game, and …
Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard won the 2010-11 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. Dwight has now won three consecutive DPoY awards, making it the first time any NBA player has done so since the award was introduced in 1982-83. Howard led …
The Orlando Magic had a very, very special guest on hand Friday night when they demolished the Raptors. Dwight Howard and the boys brought their A-game and cruised to a 112-72 victory over Toronto. If Carlton Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air …
The Boston Celtics have won a championship and been to the NBA Finals two times in the past three seasons, but Orlando Magic GM Otis Smith doesn’t seem to think toughness is the reason they got there. When Kevin Garnett is healthy, Boston has …
The Orlando Magic were dominating the NBA to begin the season, and then December came. Something has gone wrong for the Magic lately, and it has resulted in five losses over the last six games. We’ve known for a while that the Magic were …
It would appear the Gilbert Arenas-to-Orlando talk is back on. It’s been no secret that the Magic are looking to make a trade. They know that in order to get past teams like the Celtics and Heat in the Eastern Conference, they’ll need …
Rashard Lewis has been a complete no-show through four games of the Eastern Conference Finals. To say Orlando‘s highest paid player has been horrible would be an understatement. Through four games, Lewis is 29% shooting overall and 18% from …
A friend just directed my attention to a great video he came across on YouTube. There’s such a thing as getting caught up in the moment during an intense part of a game or getting carried away with your celebrating, but at what point does a …
If Orlando Magic guard Jason Williams took chasing down loose balls half as seriously as he takes reporters crowding his space, he may have prevented Rajon Rondo from making him look like a fool during Game 3. I’m sure he was plenty frustrated …
Often times when things are going incredibly well for one team and painfully terrible for another in a playoff series, there are one or two defining moments that we’ll look back on as a microcosm for the entire series. When the Celtics …
I know exactly what people will say, a championship’s a championship and you can’t knock that. I’m not even one of the people that complained about the Lakers going seven with the Rockets who were seemingly decimated by injuries …
Funny, wasn’t it only a few months ago we were going through this same spiel when Kurt Warner was playing in the Super Bowl? At that time their coach Ken Whisenhunt had said the Cardinals had an edge because of their religious beliefs. Well …
I’m sure Dwight Howard, not to mention Stan Van Fidgety, will be pretty ticked to read this quote. The Magic beat the Sixers to close out their first round series 4-2 on Thursday night. Orlando made a habit of building up huge leads in the …
Between his spats with Shaq and his don’t take crap from anyone attitude, I’m starting to like Stan Van Gundy. Now if we were to take Sunday’s game against the Sixers where Orlando blew an 18-point lead in the third quarter losing …
The St. Petersburg Times has a really interesting chronology and account of Billy Donovan’s decision to leave Orlando and return to Florida. In reading through the article, I can’t help but notice that Donovan’s wife seems to have …
