http://sportsblogs.org/entries.php?team_id=67&date=2008-07-06&start=0 Sports Blogs :: Orlando Magic Daily Entries en-us Don’t get me wrong, I love the Orland Magic. They just aren’t doing anything to impress me. I am really happy though, because I have tickets to see Coldplay on March 4th at TD Waterhouse Centre. I am the type that likes to get the best seats possible so I will share a link to where I always buy my tickets. Click on Orlando Concerts and you’ll see the listing for Coldplay tickets. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262110&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Orlando Magic have only broken 100 points once in the past eight games so I’d rather talk about the Kenyon Martin issue. The Denver Nuggets player threatened a fan and got away with it. Both Martin and the NBA deny his involvement, yet the NBA offered the fan compensation for his trouble. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262111&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 Let’s discuss something that affects the Orlando Magic as much as it does every NBA team. The Indiana Pacers have finally traded Ron Artest. Lately we are seeing more and more players do things to soil the reputation of professional athletes everywhere. The days of encouraging your children to look up to them are gone because you can’t even let them watch Sports Center without finding out their heroes are gold digging miscreants. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262112&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Orlando Magic beat the Sacramento Kings in overtime because of the tireless efforts of Steve Francis with his 18 points, six assists and nine rebounds. I wish I could say they are doing well, but we are half way through the season and are still plagued by extended losing streaks. We have seen no consistency from this Magic team this season. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262113&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Orlando Magic team has had some woeful road losses lately. Our last two road trips have become losing streaks and our defense is just falling apart. The last few losses have been high scoring matches; however we are consistently getting outscored by a wide margin. In our recent loss to the Sacramento Kings, Mike Bibby scored a career-high 42 points which included five three pointers. He led his team well and Kevin Martin in particular took Bibby’s lead, picking up the first double-doubl... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262114&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Magic will be wearing their throwback jerseys for their game against the Charlotte Bobcats. They are encouraging the fans to wear stripes for the game as well because they have won four out of four games in those jerseys this season. What team couldn’t do with a little luck? Hopefully if we win this game we can turn it into a nice winning streak because we have too many losses for comfort right now. This team has the talent they just haven’t found their rhythm yet this season. Don’t... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262115&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Orlando Magic showed their talent and power in their 105-95 win over the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been on a downward spiral lately and have been outscored consistently by their opponents. They tried to put forth a last minute effort in the fourth quarter but Grant Hill and the Magic players easily fought back and won the day. Grant Hill had the Knicks only weapon covered, Jamal Crawford. Hill even stripped the ball from Crawford during the third quarter and scored on the possessio... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262116&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Orlando Magic are about to face the Lakers on the cusp of a three game losing streak and some really poor defensive showings. It seems like we have been really streaky this season losing and winning in little spurts. It is a sign of inconsistent play on the part of our starters and perhaps some poor coaching in the process. We have had some close games we haven’t been able to close and some great wins like our 105-90 victory over the New York Knicks. But they are in the midst of a seven... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262117&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 The Orlando Magic are headed for Dallas tonight where they have lost seven straight games. With Josh Howard back for the Mavs, they are going to be tough to beat. However, Grant Hill’s return makes us a force to be reckoned with. Hill led the Magic to victory against the New York Knicks on his first night back, and we are hoping his presence will help us achieve a three game winning streak. The Magic are strong but no one can ignore that the Mavericks 16-6 record and the fact that they are ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262118&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:00 Young or old, you have to admit that Disneyworld has some badass fireworks displays. Guess where I'm headed this evening? Happy Fourth of July! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262105&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:59 Today Dwight Howard joined the likes of Shaq, Anfernee Hardaway, and Tracy McGrady as one of only a few Magic players to make an All-NBA team. Congratulations Dwight! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262106&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:59 Trevor Ariza is sidelined for the time being with a serious knee sprain--for the Orlando Magic's sake, I hope he's on the mend. They need him for the playoffs! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262107&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:59 The Orlando Magic are playing like a team that is possessed. Where did this energy and drive come from? All season long I haven’t had much to say because I don’t want to be negative, and now the Magic decide to finish the season with a bang. I can’t wait to see what they do next. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262108&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:59 The Men’s Final Four are LSU, George Mason, UCLA and the Florida Gators. I am really surprised about how things turned out this March as I am sure many are. Almost everyone I knew had picked Texas to go all the way and who would have picked George Mason to get this far? I am really excited to see who will come out victorious. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262109&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:03:59
