Of the 16 teams that reached the NBA playoffs, the least cost-effective team was the Orlando Magic. They spent $1.89 M in payroll per win which was 12% less efficient than the norm. Perhaps fitting, as the saga between Dwight Howard and Stan van Gundy has given the appearance of the most dysfunctional team in the NBA as well.

Orlando Pinstriped Post Barkley caught off-air, funny stuff

Barkley tells the truth about Weight Watchers, Hawks/Heat game and yet another team who should go after dwight howard -_-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOAPL5Td7uo

On a side note, I think the real gem of this video is the comment on the quality of the game by Harlan, and the continuation on that by Charles. I'd pay to listen to what game announcers say to each other when they aren't on air. I'm sick of hearing announcers and commentators pull back from what they are really feeling just to make sure they don't offend anyone or say anything too controversial.

If only some more of our local media were like Dan Savage. Beautiful plea to end all the speculation (atleast for now).

Orlando Pinstriped Post Magic Hating on NBA.com


Did anyone else notice this magic hating on nba.com. They usually are more kind to us than ESPN, but this is pretty ridiculous.

Asking which of the best nba player is most flawed, is a flaw within itself. As you can imagine they all had something to say about Dwight.

http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2010/11/17/blogtable-big-player-big-flaw/

If that wasn't enough, they had a separate page whether they believed in the magic? Just more hating about overpaying doesn't turn them into clutch players or the lack of offensive depth.

http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2010/11/17/blogtable-do-you-believe-in/?ls=iref:nbahpt1

SMH, quite disappointing NBA.com. I expected better from you.  Sorry about this ranting, just pissed off that we can't gain any RESPECT. It seems like people forgot that we made the finals 2 years ago and we were legit contender last year. It's all miami this and boston that. I'm sick of it.

Orlando Pinstriped Post Orl 3-4 since Nelson return

Since J. Nelson's return to the starting lineup, the magic have gone 3-4 and have played the worst basketball of the season. He also hasn't played the way we are accustomed to and at times, doesn't really look 100%. When J. Williams was in the starting lineup, the magic were 13-4. I think it's time to bench nelson to get rid of this funk we are in.

edit: i realize its not just nelson's fault, but why not try going back to what was  working before?

Any thoughts?

Orlando Pinstriped Post Should we pursue Grant Hill?

So i was reading the sentinel of a piece by Brian Schmitz, where he is explaining for Magic to win a title now, they need to pursue Wallace... here's the link below

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2009/06/if-magic-want-to-win-a-title-they-should-sign-mr-t-rasheed-wallace.html

...he goes on by playfuling saying we should resign grant hill....although by his writing, it seems to me like he's joking, but why  not pursue him...

i remember listening to an interview where hill said he would look into his options...he still lives in orlando and i think he would be a great push off the bench....i would imagine he would take a paycut similar to what it was with phoenix because he still owes it us...(92 million contract for 6-7 yrs)

i would love to have him on my team...more than likely it prob wont happen, but nice off season talk

Orlando Pinstriped Post Kevin Garnett and his gestures

                           2mfm1km_medium

Can someone please explain to me what this gesture Kevin Garnett keeps on doing towards the magic bench. I had some much respect for this dude, but ever since he's been injured, he's become of the biggest snobs in the NBA. I hate it when TNT shows him after some boston basket, because he's always cursing at the other bench or making this stupid gesture. I hope Orlando can win this series, so someone can do it right back at him.

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2009/05/big-baby-shoves-magic-fan-.html

 

" Orlando Magic fan Ernest Provetti is demanding an apology from Glen "Big Baby" Davis for inadvertently bumping into his son after nailing the Celtics' game-winning jumper on Sunday."

"According to Shannon Owens of the Orlando Sentinel, Provetti says Davis shoved his 12-year-old son Nicholas with such force, that Nicholas' baseball cap catapulted into the air and his son went tumbling into his courtside seat."

Orlando Pinstriped Post Last Day: Game 3 & 4 Tickets For Sale

Hey guys,

I bought tickets for game 3 and 4 and have realized that I and my family cannot attend anymore for personal reasons. I could sell these seats on Stubhub and various other ticket selling sites, but I wanted to sell it to people of this community since I believe there are more diehard fans on here. Since my family and I cannot attend, I would want more diehard fans to replace us. These seats are all center court and great seats. The following tickets are available:

Game 3 @ ORL

Lower bowl Center court: Section 102, Row L -> 2 seats (facevalue: $165) These tickets are sold!

 

Game 4 @ ORL


Lower bowl Center court: Section 111, Row N -> 4 seats (facevalue: $165)
Upper bowl Center court: Section 201, Row C -> 2 seats (facevalue: $75)
Upper bowl Center court: Section 219, Row E -> 2 seats (facevalue: $75)

 

I am really trying to get rid of these sets of tickets, so I'll give these individually to the best offer. Please email me at sjs316@aol.com or private message me.

 

Thank You,

GoMagic

Orlando Pinstriped Post KG and Howard speak

Kevin Garnett spoke to Howard about his dunks from last year. The title says it private and real, but to me, it looks pretty rehearsed. Regardless, def watch it on your free time.
