Andy FlintYou can tell that it just isn’t your night when Carlos Boozer, a big fella who generally settles for mid-range jumpers, lays down the law on your face. That is exactly happened to Glen “Big Baby” Davis on this play from Tuesday night’s Bulls/Magic game in Chicago. This HUGE jam brought the Bulls within two points of the Magic, 42-40, with about 2 minutes to go in the first half. Aaron Afflalo fueled the Magic with 28 points, but the Magic couldn’t keep the Bulls on the porch as they rallied late to steal the victory on their home floor. Luol Deng scored 23 points and Joakim Noah had 20 points to lead the Bulls to a 99-93 victory on Tuesday night and hand the Magic their first loss of the season. Carlos Boozer’s big dunk was just two of his 12 points, and he also grabbed 8 rebounds to help Chicago move to 3-1 on the season without star point guard, Derrick Rose. “Big Baby” had a pretty solid game, despite this big yack. Davis finished with 16 points and 10 boards, but had his shot blocked 5 times. Sports-Kings - The Kings of Sports Lists

Wolves Wednesday: Wing play must improve
MINNEAPOLIS The drama is three months behind them in Orlando, and maybe it's helped. The Dwight Howard-less Orlando team is 2-1, and early on, it's posed a bigger challenge than most would have imagined.
Yes, Glen Davis is the focal point of their offense. Yes, they're hardly deep. But the Magic have been solid early, especially in terms of 3-point shooting; they'...

The Magic: A Team of Believers
Do you believe in the Orlando Magic?
Well, a few months ago, almost everyone believed something about this team and it’s that they would be stinking awful.
Following the blockbuster trade that sent Dwight Howard to the other side of the states, most of us felt like Orlando’s desperation to get rid of him resulted in a rash move that would end up costing them not only this season...

“Do You Believe in Magic…” If you recognize my pun as a song title, then your age is telling just as much as my decision to use it.
As I was reading and writing up various preseason team previews I was generally excited for the (then) upcoming NBA season. When it came to teams such as the Orlando Magic, however, I needed to turn to an episode of The Big Bang Theory or an Adam...
