Why does Dwight Howard want to leave Orlando?

One for the Ages…Celtics stun the Magic with 91-83 comeback victory

Found January 27, 2012 on Pro Sports Blogging:
PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo,  Ray Allen,  Keyon Dooling,  Dwight Howard,  Paul Pierce,  Doc Rivers,  Marquis Daniels,  Avery Bradley
TEAMS: Orlando Magic,  Boston Celtics

Payback is a $%&@ But the Orlando Magic would have none on this night falling to the Boston Celtics 91-83 in historic fashion. Monday’s  loss was hurtful and embarrassing. Orlando wanted to prove that Boston’s first win was a fluke because a team with 5 rotation players missing should never win by 31. Never. The Orlando Magic said all the right things before their second game with Boston this week. “This isn’t a statement game”, “We just want a win”, etc. All the things that they were supposed to say. Then they let the truth be told in their play when they were winning and then again when started to unravel. This game did matter. Entering tonight’s round 2  the Celtics were without Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Jermaine O’neal and lost Keyon Dooling (hip pointer) in the 2nd quarter for the rest of the contest. For about 30 minutes the Magic were on the road to redemption but a tragedy of vast proportions occurred in the final 18...

Comments From the Other Side - Magic 1/26

Via Celtics Life  |  January 27, 2012
Magic game threads were fun in this game. Talk about going from ecstasy to despair! I'll never understand fans wishing injury and death on players though. Talking about Pierce's stabbing goes way over the line. I've gotten down about a big loss or when the Celtics weren't playing well, but I've never hated on the Celts the way some of these fans are hating...

After the Magic were blown out of the TD Garden in Boston Monday night, they entered the rematch Thursday night looking for revenge. Throughout the first half, it looked as though the Magic would get that revenge.  After Boston took an 8-2 lead, it was all Orlando.  The Magic went on a 30-8 run and played most of the quarter without Dwight Howard.  Howard picked up two fouls...

This post-game analysis was going to go a whole lot differently as the Celtics started off tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Blake Griffin Goes Double-Clutch Reverse

Via The Slanch Report  |  January 26, 2012
Blake Griffin's dunking skills garner most of the attention but (unlike certain centers who play for the Orlando Magic whose names rhyme with Schmite Boward) Griffin has also spent plenty of time working on his low post game and developing some moves to increase his scoring chances. This double-clutch reverse over Andrew Bynum is a perfect example of the evolution of Griffin...

Things are not well in Orlando Beach. In fact, they may just start to get worse unless the deal that they don’t want to do is completed in the near future. The Orlando Magic’s record stands at 12-6, but this past week they have suffered two of their worse losses in year. First, they only managed to score 56 points earlier in the week to the Boston Celtics. They played...
