The Orlando Magic skipped past their point guard controversy in style Tuesday night.

The Orlando Magic were so close, but are yet so far now, trailing the Los Angeles Lakers 2-0 in the NBA Finals after losing a Game 2 overtime thriller 101-96 on Sunday night.

One could say the Cavs-Magic series is on par with the Bulls-Celtics opening round in terms of sheer, down-to-the-wire excitement. The four remaining teams are so evenly matched it's hard to predict the outcome on any given night. Dwight Howard was a ...

Another surprising game was the Orlando Magic who was able to hold off the Boston Celtics once more to a Game 7. Dwight Howard, the driving force behind the Magics, had 23 points and 22 rebounds. Talk about beastin! Rashad Lewis helped with 20 points ...

In the (only) good news lately for the Celtics, they probably can't fall much farther. Last week's loss in Orlando left them tied for No. 2 in the East, with one prize left to contest: home-court advantage should they play the Magic. Bad as that is, ...

In the midst of a long-awaited comeback in a sport he rules and on the eve of defending his championship at a golf tournament he loves, Tiger Woods was actually thinking about attending the Magic-Celtics game Wednesday night. He thought about it. Thought about it long hand hard. "I'd like to g...

By Joe Willett The New Year is here and the Chicago Bulls are going to need some help if they want to make 2009 count. For example, although Dwight Howard scored just 15 points last night against the Magic, he was also able to grab more rebounds than anybody else in the game, with 14, dominating the boards.

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Phoenix opened the game with an 11-0 run, led most of the way, perfectly executed an out of bounds play late in the game to score the go ahead layup--and still found a way to lose to their nemesis, the San Antonio Spurs. This time the dagger came in the form of a Roger Mason three pointer at the buzzer, delivering a 91-90 win for the Spurs. Tony Parker scored a game-high 27 points and tied Steve Nash for game-high honors with eight assists. Tim Duncan added 25 points and a game-high 17 rebounds. Amare Stoudemire led Phoenix with 25 points and 13 rebounds, while Shaquille O'Neal powered his way to 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocked shots. O'Neal looked better than he has in quite some time; he opened the game with a spin move leading to a powerful dunk...   [read the full post]

By Tom Ziller What about the Magic? I mean, I even forgot them in my opening salvo.

By dberri If you lived in Boston or Detroit - or any team playing the Lakers in the 1980s (other than the Clippers) - this is a cheer you often heard.   Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and the entire Showtime cast were clearly the enemy.  And five times in the 1980s, the enemy took the title (yes, I am a Piston...

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) Obviously, if Orlando Coach Stan Van Gundy thought that Redick could make a significant offensive contribution while also guarding Hamilton then he would have played Redick in the Magic's playoff series versus Detroit, during which Hamiliton was the leading scorer. Still, there are certainly cases in which a player has not received much playing time with his first team only to emerge as a valuable contributor with another team. I don't believe that this will happen with Redick for the reasons that I listed above and in my previous posts about him but it will be interesting to see what happens if Redick is indeed traded by the Magic.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) The Detroit Pistons beat the Orlando Magic 91-86 on Tuesday to win that series four games to one and thus advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the sixth straight season. The Showtime Lakers from the 1980s are the most recent team to make it to the Conference Finals at least six years in a row (they did it from 1982-89), so this is quite an accomplishment for the Pistons. On the other hand, the Lakers did a much better job of taking advantage of those opportunities than the Pistons have: the Lakers made it to the Finals seven times and won four championships during their run while the Pistons have only made two Finals appearances and won just one title during their streak. Basically, the Pistons of the 2000s are like the Atlanta Braves of the...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Well, the Pistons have finished off the Magic in 5 games. They won on the road and they did it without Chauncey Billups. That should concern the Celtics in that they haven't been able to get it done on the road in 5 tries at full strength. Another thing that is concerning is that the Pistons are now sitting back and resting while the Celtics are going to have to go at least 6 games and possibly 7 if the Celtics can find some heart somewhere. This is assuming that the Celtics can come back and win 2 more games. I used to think that the Celtics were a lock for the Eastern Conference finals but the way they have been playing I don't know any more.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) Don't count the Orlando Magic out just yet.

By Basketbawful Three-point shooting. The Magic live by the three and get horribly mutilated by the three. Game 1 was one of the horrible mutilations, as Orlando shot 2-for-15. Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu need to find their range from distance or the Magic won't be able...you see where I'm going with this?

By Atma Brother ONE Golden State of Mind: How much credit does new Magic head coach and Bay Area native Stan Van Gundy deserve for the Magic's impressive record this season? Does anyone in Orlando wish Billy Donovan stuck with the team instead of heading back to Gainesville?

By David Friedman Bianchi says that Hill's departure can be explained by five simple words uttered by Howard. Hill has refused to publicly comment on his dismissal but when Howard was asked about it recently he admitted that Orlando management asked his opinion prior to making the move. What did Howard say? "I was cool with it." Howard may as well have declared, "Off with his head!" It is extremely unlikely that the Magic will fire a coach who Howard likes or hire one he does not like. That is just the way of the world in the NBA. Bianchi quotes a famous line by Chuck Daly, the former Pistons and Magic coach: "It's a player's league. The players allow you to coach them or they don't. Once they stop allowing you to coach, you're on your way out."   [read the full post]

ORLANDO The Orlando Magic had the lead, the momentum and the crowd support. The Detroit Pistons used their postseason experience to overcome all of it.

Rasheed Wallace finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Orlando Magic 9890 on Monday and take a 20 lead in their firstround series.
