Via Orlando Sentinel:
Just hard to imagine a team winning a game with only 8 players, especially at the NBA level.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Orlando Magic entered their game Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies as overwhelming long shots, and the Magic knew it.
Their deals before the NBA trade deadline left them with just eight players in uniform — just seven players if you subtracted Al Harrington, who hasn’t played all season. Against the physical Grizzlies, one of the Western Conference’s best teams, eight players typically won’t do.

Beno Udrih and Tobias Harris both showed deep-league appeal in their Orlando Magic debuts.
Jameer Nelson sat out a second straight game with a left patella contusion. That opened up minutes for Udrih immediately. The ex-Bucks point guard played 27 minutes off the bench, scoring 10 points and dishing seven assists to go with three boards and two steals. He's a nice option...

It has become a mini drama each game -- waiting to see if Al Harrington will make his Magic debut.
When Orlando acquired Harrington in the Dwight Howard deal, it was expected he would provide some veteran leadership and a stretch-4 that would enable the Magic to go small occassionally. Yes, the Magic knew they would have to wait after an infection following surgery prevented...

There were some new faces in Magic uniforms Saturday. They barely had time to learn basic plays in a walk through. Figuring out where these new pieces fit in the course of the season and on the fly -- let alone on the fourth game in five nights and a night after a seven-player performance -- is difficult in itself.

Against the Magic, the Cleveland Cavaliers' young point guard showed he can also do some damage when he's creating opportunities for his teammates.

Even though Orlando has now lost 27 of its past 30 games, this is not a team that is rolling over any time soon. This is not a team opponents can simply waltz in and defeat. Some nights there might be nights of frustration where the score gets out of hand and the shots feel forced with the basket too tiny for the basketball.
Friday night very easily could have been one of those...
