If The Magic are playing poor after RL and RA get back we have a problem. It starts with Howard. He knows it and he knows we know it. Redick is awesome for speaking up. He may not have a great NBA start but he's still here busting his ass.
Orlando Magic try to figure out what went wrong
J.J. Redick was the first to speak in the Orlando Magic's locker room Wednesday night after the Magic lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy, he reminded the team they just weren't very good. "He was absolutely right," Van Gundy said. "We have to be honest with...
Rhoudi, The Shard doping comment is the lamest comment I have read. The lakers got the big prime time slots because they are league royalty. It didn't change when Kobe was up against his charges. They were still top billed. The Magic must have beaten your team on the way to the finals. Get over it. They are going to beat them again this year.
Stan Van Gundy: Magic are underappreciated and disrespected
Is Stan Van Gundy turning into Rappin' Rodney Dangerfield? The first game is still more than two months away and already the Orlando Magic are playing the disrespect card. During a news conference to introduce newly acquired point guard Jason Williams Thursday, Magic coach Stan Van...
Did Stan drop a big F-bomb after that comment? I was cracking up!
Stan Van Gundy: Fake nude pictures are better than real ones!
Much has been made of the fake nude photographs of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard that were circulating in cyberspace last week, which prompted me to ask Magic coach Stan Van Gundy Thursday if he'd ever had someone post fake nude photos of him on the Internet. Cracked Van Gundy: "It wou...
Hey Joe Laker, If The Magic suck so bad, why are you lurking in Orlando chat/blog arenas. The lakers are a great team but you are a joke. Bandwagon Chumps are the worst.
Could Jason Williams push Jameer Nelson and start point guard controversy?
Will Jameer measure up to expectations this season? Read an interesting article a few minutes ago by my boy Tim Povtak, the former Sentinel scribe who is now an NBA writer for AOL.com. It is Povtak's opinion that the Magic's signing of Jason Williams will create a point guard controversy...
Not one of those GOONS picked O-Town for #1 spot. The Celtics got better? Are you kidding me??The Cavs are going to crumble with the possible departure of "THE KING". Walton should try and make a comeback withe Celts. He's about the same age as half of the tumbleweeds sitting on that bench. I still hold a grudge about Shaq leaving town for Hollywood. I'm sure Steel and Kazam are at the top of everyones dvd wish list! These guys are no more experts than....wait, I'm starting to ramble. I could go on all day. O-Town Rules!
NBA experts say Cleveland and Boston have the East's best teams: Here are the votes
Well, some Orlando Magic fans think their team got a raw deal. This week, the Orlando Sentinel asked 11 NBA experts from across the country to rank the Eastern Conference’s best teams from top to bottom. Now that most of the big free-agent signings have been made, my editors and I thought this w...
What?
Magic say nude photo of Dwight Howard is a fraud
Dwight once took a picture shirtless, But not in the nude, his people say Reason No. 9,817 why the Internet can be evil. Dwight Howard wants to be a movie star and now he is being treated like one. And that's not always a good thing. Just like many Hollywood celebs, Howard -- or at l...
Sorry, just being goofy. Nice concept.

I was unaware that the world wide web had
an urban area. I wonder if they have some rural hot spots. Some townships and villas might be cool as well. I'd love to take a web vaca to an internet island paradise.

I've been reading on the espn blogs that Lewis and his drug use are reason they beat the Cavs! What a bunch of cry babies.
Rashard had a few good games and a few horrible games. Espn is starting to take the cake when it comes to giving BS opinions and blowing up a story. If Shard was the Hulk ripping of his jersey, shoving it down the Lakers throats in a sweep to the championship maybe this story should be talked about for a few weeks or so. Shard took something we can all buy for $15. Maybe the league should look into candy, slurpees, ding dongs and all other energy boosters.
Rashard Lewis: "I'm skinny as hell. Does it look like I take steroids?"
Is this what Rashard Lewis would have looked like if he hadn't been caught? If you have time, please vote in my wildly popular Open Mike poll below In the wake of Rashard Lewis failing an NBA drug test and testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, I've made my feelings known...
Obviously Lewis knew what he was taking.
He was trying to get an edge or not feel as tired. Still does not mean he knew the witches brew that goes into all of these OVER THE COUNTER vitamin/supplements any of us can buy legally.
Otis Smith on Rashard Lewis's suspension: "I think we all can learn from it"
Just got off the phone with Magic GM Otis Smith and asked him a few questions about Rashard Lewis's suspension. Sentinel: What's your reaction to Rashard's suspension? Smith: I mean, reaction is basically I think we all can learn from it. I think there’s so many things on the banned substance l...
Solar Bear RULES! That is the best positive spin I've seen yet. I fully agree with 8-2. Brilliant, just brilliant.
Doping expert says DHEA is "not very effective" as a performance enhancer
Update: I checked the NBA/NBPA drug agreement and DHEA is listed as a steroid or performance enhancing drug Josh Robbins spoke with Dr. Gary Wadler, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list and methods sub-committee and a clinical associate professor of Medicine at the NYU Scho...
We will be fine. The Magic have the best bench in the NBA. Now we get a change to see what they can do if one of our bigs goes down. I'm sure we won't be injury free this year.
What will Rashard Lewis' suspension mean for the Orlando Magic in late October and early November?
Rashard Lewis will be suspended for the first 10 games of the 2009-10, though I should note the suspension takes effect as long as he would otherwise be eligible and physically able to play. Lewis, the team's starting power forward, made the Eastern Conference all-star team last year and finish...
If I can buy at any Publix, it should not be banned. Maybe the NBA should create a list of the ever growing aisles of products the players should steer clear from. Maybe
RedBull, 5 hour energy shot, and all other energy drinks should be banned. Maybe we should take a second look at all caffeine products as well. Mr. Lewis looks like he's sleeping out on the floor half the time.
Stan Van Gundy: Rashard Lewis has the "full support of the coaching staff and everybody in the organization"
Orlando Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy is on vacation, but he made sure to contact Rashard Lewis on Wednesday to give Lewis his support as news of Lewis' soon-to-be-announced suspension filtered through the organization. "He’s one of the best people in this league and has been a model citizen and a ...
What's up with all the people that have erected an Arroyo shrine? He's an average player when he's playing at the top of his game. Can we say TURNOVER and dribble the shot clock into a sliver of hope.
I'm happy that he his playing and living his dream. He's better than your average joe, but lacks the vision to distribute the ball well. The only way he dawns the blue and white is if Otis gets kicked in the head by mule. Check please!
Otis Smith on point guards: "We'll take our time and we'll get the right player for us"
Just spoke with Magic General Manager Otis Smith and asked him a few questions about Matt Barnes and C.J. Watson. He didn't comment on negotiations with either except to say "one has nothing to do with the other." "I still need a point guard," Smith said. "... Some time we'll get a point guard ...
What's the issue? We were 3rd in the east last year and we are going to be 3rd this year. We have no chance at Turk. If he does not want to stay with a franchise that went to finals we don't want him. VC is a great addition. He has played with chumps his entire career and I'm sure he will fire it up when time comes. Gortat is a punk. He was on the right team at the right time. When he starts, and other teams figure out his game, his NBA career will be setting with the sun.
Otis will do a good job and get the guys who can do the job. Rock on with your bad self Otis!
ESPN: Wallace shuns Magic for Celtics
ESPN.com is reporting that Rasheed Wallace will sign with the Boston Celtics, with the Boston Globe reporting that the now former Detroit Pistons power forward will sign a two-year deal. Wallace was one of the most sought after free agents this summer and the Orlando Magic were one of the clubs ...
