Magic Must Keep Composure in Close Games
One thing learned in the Orlando Magic win over the Indiana Pacers Saturday night is that the Magic need to keep their composure in tight games. The Magic were assessed an astounding six technical fouls during the game.
With just over a minute remaining in the third quarter, Earl Clark was given a technical foul when he went toe to toe with Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough. ...

Magic Back On Track With Win Over Pacers
After beating Cleveland on Friday night in Orlando, the Magic (15-9) had to make an arduous journey to get to Saturday night’s game in Indianapolis. The team spent Friday night in northern Kentucky and flew from the Cincinnati area to Indianapolis International Airport Saturday afternoon because they couldn’t get a hotel in the host city of Sunday’s Super Bowl. However...

Video: Jason Richardson leaps off the bench to play defense
Last Thursday, we noted a bizarre play in which Orlando Magic wing Quentin Richardson, on the bench at the time, screamed in Danny Green's ear during a three-pointer. It was a weird way to play defense, both in terms of standards of sportsmanship and general NBA player comportment. Nevertheless, a guy has to do what he can to help his team win, and sometimes that involves playing...

Video: Playing defense from the bench
Coaches will always tell their players to stay involved in the game when they’re on the bench. Cheer your teammates on and provide moral support, it’s very beneficial. Well the Orlando Magic’s Quentin Richardson took it a step further against the San Antonio Spurs.
If you look at the video (via BDL), you can see Q-Rich literally closing out on Danny Green from the bench. He...

Video: Quentin Richardson plays defense from the bench
There's an old basketball cliche that certain veteran players provide a great presence on the bench and in the locker room. That's a nice way of saying that they're not very good at basketball anymore, but it also has some truth to it. Being a good teammate and generally helping each other out breeds a positive culture. Still, it has no direct effect on what happens on...

Magic dominate 1st half, hold off rally for win
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Dwight Howard had 13 points and 13 rebounds and the Orlando Magic survived a late rally to hand the Portland Trail Blazers their first loss at home, 107-104 on Wednesday night.
The Blazers closed in on the Magic when Nicolas Batum's layup and LaMarcus Aldridge's wide-open jumper made it 96-93 with 2:38 left. Hedo Turkoglu answered for Orlando with a layup...

Quentin Richardson already wasn’t much of a factor for the Magic, but now he’s just embarrassing himself. The Orlando small forward missed Friday night’s home loss to the Bulls because of a problem with his ankle.

Shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty the Orlando Magic enter the season trying to make one last effort to convince their star, Dwight Howard, that there is no place like home.
Howard has been a pendulum of inconsistency in his demeanor towards possibly returning but the one constant has been his request to be on a championship team. That championship team could be in Orlando, Dallas...

A Second Chance For Quentin Richardson & Chris Duhon
Quentin Richardson and Chris Duhon started 2010-11 in the rotation. By December, it was clear Orlando could not do much with them in the lineup. The trades came and Richardson and Duhon found themselves relegated to bench warming and limited action. It was not the role either likely imagined when they signed with Orlando for what amounted to the team's mid-level exception.

Quentin Richardson on Lebron James: “I Don’t Care if He’s The King”..Shoving Match Vid
I don’t care if you’re The King or whatever,” Richardson told Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel after the game. “You put your pants on just like I do.

Quentin Richardson To LeBron: “I Don’t Care If You’re The King”
Let me start out by saying Quentin Richardson is the man. He always has been, and always will be. With that said, he got a raw deal in last night’s preseason game against the Heat. After a little bumping between him and LeBron James, this play should have resulted in a double-technical. Instead, Q got [...]

ReHeat: Heat Blow Big Lead, Lose to Magic 104-100
Throughout last season, the Miami Heat built huge leads only to exhale and allow the opponents to come back and win the game. It happened when the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic rallied from 20-pont leads to beat Miami. Even after the Heat had a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter of the 2011 NBA Finals Game 2, the team relaxed and let the Dallas Mavericks get back in the game and win...

Magic Re-Sign Earl Clark And Free Practice Thoughts
Earlier this week the Magic re-signed Earl Clark to a two year deal worth a reported $2 million. Orlando acquired Clark in the Jason Richardson/Hedo Turkoglu deal last December but struggled to crack the rotation. He played in only 33 games and scored 4.1 points per game and grabbed 2.5 rebounds per game (12.3 points per 36 minutes and 7.7 rebounds per 36 minutes).
