After a long time considering my options I have decided to change this blog. Originally I have been attempting to preview and review each and every Magic game. The problem with this is that it just plain sucks. I doubt many people really want to read it, and honestly if you want a preview or review just head on over to any sports website that covers the NBA. I would like to make this blog different.
In the coming weeks and months I will now attempt to cover topics that come up in the world of the Orlando Magic. If I feel that a player needs to pick his game up I will tell you. If I feel that another player is playing exceptionally well, I will also tell you. I will then blog about various other things going on in the Magic organization and simply tell you how I feel about it. The last thing I will do is bring up things in the history of the Magic and again give my opinion about them. If you like my opinion, tell me. If you don't like it tell me as well. If you wish I would just stop writing, you should also tell me. In the end, honesty is a virtue that I enjoy... lay it on me.

Magic vs Mavs
Tonight is the second matchup between the Magic and the Mavericks. Earlier in the year the Magic prevailed 102-100 after staging a furious comeback in the 4th quarter to squeak out the win. The Mavericks will certainly be looking to not let that same situation happen again.
The Mavs come in led by the three way scoring tandem of Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, and Jason Terry. They are certainly a team that can throw up a lot of points, and they will challenge the Magic Defense. On the other side of the ball, the Mavs are a team that struggles with defensive consistency. A trait that the Magic will surely look to exploit.
At the end of this matchup of playoff teams I feel the Magic should come away victorious, as they have to much firepower for even the high scoring Mavs to keep up with.

Kudos to the Magic
First off my aplogies for sacking on the blogging lately...no Pacers post game review or Cavs pregame review. Ive had some technological issues. Anyways I'll get to the point.
The Magic have officially gotten back on track after two tough losses to the Celtics and Heat. Two wins in a row is always great but I have to like it even more when they are both blowouts, and one comes against Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The brightest spot for me over the two wins was the performance of Mickael Pietrus. After missing 12 games with a fractured right wrist Pietrus came off the bench against the Pacers and exploded for season high's of 27 points and 10 rebounds. He then followed up that performance by playing a solid game againts the Cav's where he helped in out mass team effort to slow down Lebron James.
Now moving forward up next we have the Toronto Raptors led by perennial All-Star Chris Bosh. The Raptors and the Magic have a little history as this is a rematch of the first round playoff serious last year in which the Magic won in 5 games. In those games Dwight Howard was a beast, and I think that can be expected today as well. Toronto has had no answer for him, and I expect that to continue today.
