The Orlando Magic Live By The Three, Die By The Four

Posted: 15th June 2010 by C.J. Myles in NBA
One of the biggest issues that have plagued the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals has been the "Four" position. We've all learned by now that Stan Van Gundy loves the three-pointer. However, Otis Smith made it clear he wanted some more inside presence by inviting Brandon Bass to the team. But what Otis Smith didn't realize was that he created the most awkward situation ever. It was like inviting a ...

Orlando Magic: Is Another “Magic Kingdom” in the Making?

What we have here is possibly the best lineup since the 1995 NBA Finals. Hard to believe it took 14 years to get back there, and 15 to look like a team that could go back.

In a world where "The Greatest" had retired, one man stepped up to the plate of entertainment and created a meal for us to enjoy. That man was Allen Iverson. He had already shown great potential, and there are Youtube ...
Going into this game, even though I was at work, I looked up all the stats. Magic were 13-1 against Miami in the last 14 matchups. Beasley was only just starting to show colors. J-Will was picking up the Magic flair, and this was shaping up into a game that we actually thought we had. And we did. But not everything goes as planned. Especially not since Lewis's return. I wrote earlier ...
