At 7PM tonight, the Orlando Magic (12-19) will square off against the Chicago Bulls (16-13) in Orlando. For the Magic, it is a chance to snap a 6 game losing streak. The Bulls have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are looking to maintain their 5th seed in the East. They are currently tied with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Magic put up an incredible effort against the Heat on New Years Eve, but it was not enough to come away with the W. Vucevic broke the record for most rebounds recorded in a single game with 29 total (previously 28 by Shaq in 1993). It was a great game, but the Heat were able to pull it off in an overtime nail-biter. They will come into tonight's game against the Bulls with the 26th overall ranked offense and the 10th overall ranked defense.
The Bulls enter this game after a stinker against the lowly Charlotte Bobcats, in which the Bobcats outscored them 26-16 in the final quarter to win 91-81. Like the Magic, Chicago's problems do not lie on the defensive end o...

What's the top individual feat in Magic history?
Single game records arent made to be broken, at least not easily. If they were, it wouldnt have taken 19 years for a Magic player to pull down Shaquille ONeals rebounding record.
The truth is, single game records are extremely hard to reach. Rarely do you see a player attain one and that is because its a result of many outside variables coming together on one very special night....

LeBron James Walking the Dog All Day Long Against the Magic (Video)

January 02, 2013
The process of letting the ball roll down the court without touching it in order to save time is called Walking the Dog. I honestly can say I've never heard that term used before. Apparently LeBron James loves walking the dog though. He did it Monday for 10+ seconds against the Orlando Magic, which has to be a record if something as dumb as that was actually considered...

The Starting Lineup: Nikola Vucevic Rips 29 Rebounds vs Heat

January 01, 2013
In grabbing 29 rebounds against the Miami Heat, Nikola Vucevic broke an Orlando Magic franchise record previously held by none other than Shaquille O’Neal. With all due respect to Vucevic (who happens to be a fine young player averaging a double-double on the season), Chris Bosh should probably be ashamed of himself. The Heat did manage to beat the Magic in overtime (112-110...

Every injury is an opportunity.
When Jameer Nelson and E'Twaun Moore went down with injuries against Washington, Ish Smith was brought to the forefront. He started against Toronto for the fifth time in his career and started again against Miami. In those two games, Smith averaged 7.5 points per game.
More tellingly, maybe, Smith scored 13 points on 6-for-12 shooting as...
