Although, the Orlando Magic suffered their first loss — that seems weird to say — against the Chicago Bulls, Arron Afflalo was efficient and brilliant during the game. He accumulated 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, but the best part about his line was that he did that on zero turnovers.

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'...

Bulls’ Joakim Noah regrets failed 3-point shot for Big Macs

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.

2012 Fantasy Basketball: Season starting sleepers

  NBA season has started.  My initial daily fantasy basketball reaction is that my games have gone about as good as the teething my young son is presently experiencing. I thought I could only imagine the pain he is feeling, but after the last two nights I think I am right there with him. I can’t seem to put together a consistent team. The stars are playing consistent, but due...

J.J. Redick Was Always Going to Turn Out Better Than Adam Morrison in NBA

Think back to 2006. George W. Bush was the president, the Seattle SuperSonics were still in the NBA and the two biggest stars in college basketball were J.J. Redick and Adam Morrison. Oh, how the times have changed. Redick garnered most of the national Player of the Year awards and earned the ire of opposing fans as a Duke star, while Morrison captured the country’s heart and imagination...

Orlando Magic: Underdogs with bite

“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...

Shootaround: Worth it to win?

Orlando Magic (2-0) vs. Chicago Bulls (2-1) 8 p.m. The Magic and the Bulls are down their leading players sponsored by adidas. Well one of them is injured and working to a return.

Magic come up short in Chicago

On a night when the nation turns its attention to the presidential election, the eyes of some NBA fans turned their attention to the Windy City. The surprising 2-0 Orlando Magic traveled to Chicago to face the 2-1 Chicago Bulls, minus Derrick Rose.

Nets-Magic Preview

The front offices of the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets conversed plenty during the Dwight Howard saga that lasted into August, though a trade agreement never was reached.
