With this news, any chance we could see One Buc Place make a move and try to lure in Asomugha to anchor our young defense? Does anyone think ownership is willing to spend the type of money it would take to bring him into the fold?

Orlando Pinstriped Post A Breakdown of Dwight Howard's Impact on the Orlando Magic's Success, Part II - Scoring

I was bored the other day, and decided to compile some various stats from Dwight Howard's career and see how they impact the Orlando Magic's winning percentage.  I have broken it down into various categories (blocks, rebounds, fouls, points, field goal percentage, field goal attempts, free throw percentage, free throw attempts, and then various combinations of points, rebounds and blocks). I also have broken it down into different timeframes, being this season, the pre-SVG era (2004-2007), the SVG era (2007-present), and his overall career.  In Part One, we looked at Dwight's Aggression statistics. In Part Two, we will be looking at scoring statistics: Points Scored, Field Goal Percentage, Field Goal Attempts, Free Throw Percentage, and Free Throw Attempts.

You can view all statistics compiled by year here.

The Orlando Sentinel breaks down how taxpayer money is being spent for the new Amway Center. While some may scoff at the spending, I was more concerned by the fact that the old parquet floor from the O-Rena isn't coming over in the move! :'(

Orlando Pinstriped Post Congrats to Rashard Lewis!

Lewisgamewinner_medium

In last night's game against the Charlotte Bobcats, with Rashard Lewis' first three-pointer made in the 1st quarter, he became the 11th player in NBA history to reach the career milestone of 1,500 three-pointers made. Granted that the three-point shot has only been around in the NBA since the 1979-1980 season, it is still impressive that Rashard is in such exclusive territory with the likes of Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and Dale Ellis.

According to the blog posts, this happened before with CBS, and the channels never went dark, but who knows.

Here's another blog entry about the issue from Hal Boedeker also at the Orlando Sentinel. Apparently, FOX Sports Net is not associated with this issue, so Magic fans would now possibly lose games on Sun Sports but keep them on FOX Sports Net, completely opposite to where we as Magic Fans with BHN were at this time last year. Sigh...

Apparently, Howard and the rest of the team are sick of SVG's negativity. Curious...

The article is about the addition of 24 new channels to its HD lineup, but hidden at the bottom is a little tidbit about NBATV being included in the standard digital package at no additional charge. Previously, it was only available as part of the Sports Package at an additional charge per month. Also, I'm not sure if this will be only for BHN customers in Central Florida or for all BHN customers nationwide.

EDIT: I have since asked the person who posted the article/blog entry on Orlando Sentinel's website and he has since updated the article to include the date when this change will take affect (Dec 17th).

The Orlando Sentinel has details on the largest video-screen scoreboard in the NBA (once the Amway Center opens in October, 2010).

Chism Jr, according to the article, is a frequent contributor to ProBasketballNews.com, however his predictions for the current NBA season are curious at best. Not only does he have the Magic not making the playoffs, but there are some additional oddities in his other predictions. Check them out and see if you spot them...

Remember this prophetic FanPost? It has started already with a lengthy absence from the lineup due to injury. Again, I say...poor, poor Blake Griffin!

Former Orlando Magic backup PG returns to the NBA after a short stint in Isreal, signing with Miami Heat. I hate that he's signing with a division rival, but Miami is probably the best fit (except for NYC) considering the large Latino population of the city. Good luck, Carlos...just not against the Magic!

ProBasketballNews.com has been working their way through a preview of each team prior to the regular season starting, and a couple of days ago, they previewed the Magic. It's your usual slant on the team, but Bernucca actually recognizes that the Magic have the most talent in the East and thinks they have a shot to win it all!
