1) Arron Afflalo told reporters this morning that he might be playing more shooting guard, including possibly returning to the starting shooting guard spot tonight. This could open up more minutes for Maurice Harkless and DeQuan Jones at small forward.
2) The Magic's biggest weakness so far has been, surprisingly, their ...

J.J. Redick embracing sense of community
Do not think it happenstance when J.J. Redick sends defenders flying by him with his shot fake. Neither should you think it a coincidence the number of times Redick finds himself isolated in a pocket of space, basketball in hand and no defender in sight.
Instead, credit Redicks attention to detail. The sharpshooter has it in abundance.
On Tuesday night, Redick took a small break...

Magic rookies have begun to take over the lineup.
Maurice Harkless made his first career start Wednesday against Detroit and it is becoming clear that the coaching staff is gaining confidence in his ability and potential. Andrew Nicholson too has made an impact coming off the bench for the Magic. Even Kyle O'Quinn made his non-garbage time debut Wednesday night against Detroit...

Magic 90, Pistons 74

Orlando struggled to compete with Detroit's big men early, but used the big spurt to blow open the game. The surge included a more than 10-minute scoring drought by the Pistons...

The Magic entered the holiday with a win against the Pistons. But the real meaning of the holiday for the Magic is the yearly community service the Magic participate in every year at this time.
Jameer Nelson, Maurice Harkless, Glen Davis and Jacque Vaughn were among the players who went to the Coalition for the Homeless to serve meals this morning. The Magic have gone to the...

Adam Silver was made available to the media while the Magic were in Atlanta and the Magic media contingent asked the deputy commissioner and commissioner in waiting his thoughts on how Dwight Howard exited Orlando (h/t Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel):
It's an unfortunate circumstance," Silver answered. "I don't want to sugarcoat it. It's been that...

Things have certainly been tough for Lawrence Frank and the Pistons so far this season. After starting the season with just two wins in the first 11 games, Detroit was looking to capitalize on a dominating effort against Boston from the other night.
However, it was the Pistons dominating themselves Wednesday night in Orlando.
After connecting on just 28 of their 85 field goal attempts...

ORLANDO – It's tough to imagine any NBA team being as bad as the hapless Detroit Pistons were in one 10-minute stretch Wednesday night. The Pistons mixed in six turnovers with 15 consecutive missed shots to start the second half, leading to a nightmarish 90-74 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Magic, who trailed by three at intermission, scored 21 consecutive points to start...

There were not any nuggets of wisdom for Jacque Vaughn to share after Orlando put the finishing touches on a 90-74 victory over Detroit at Amway Center on Wednesday. There was no inspirational speech or enlightening words for Vaughn -- or really anyone -- to share to explain what happened in the third quarter.
It really might have been as simple as the team putting in the right...

Arron Afflalo said after the loss to Toronto on Sunday that Orlando has to keep a defensive mentality. Even when the offense is not flowing and the team is not scoring consistently, the defensive end of the floor has to be consistent. It is where offense can be born from.
That is a message Atlanta is certainly aware of with all the playoff experience still on the roster. That...
