~*Let The Magic Begin*~ - 1-2 @ Milwaukee

Nice nice ... looking forward to your first game.
You put a lot of trust in your rookie, kinda insulting for Grant Hill that you dont play with turkey-glue at the two guard and him at the Smaller Forward.

Hope you are successfull

Grant Hill is washed up, I can't even take the ball to the basket with him without getting injured.

Early Season Signings

Toronto Raptors sign Speedy Claxton 4.00M/2Years and Jay Williams 1.5M/1Year

Atlanta Hawks sign Sam Cassell 8.34M/2Years

Orlando Magic sign DJ Mbenga 3.45M/3Years, Pape Sow 1.50M/1Year

OMG THE CAVS GOT RID OF VAREJAO AND JACKSON FOR MIKE JAMES?!!

They are going to regret that...

Your dynasties are always good, good luck with this one, and you signed Pape Sow!

Nice presentation, hope to see a great match-up there...
Especially, I want to see Morrison at his best...

Jameer Nelson should wind up leading the league in assists with Dwight, Morrison, and Darko.

Great preview I hope Morrison plays well and help Orlando reach the play-offs

WOW!!! really nice

and Sheldon Williams with the Spurs, WOW, I wish that happens in real life.....

The Wand Ran Out of Magic
October 29, 2006


Recap:

The Magic season opener was finally played, against and up can coming
and young Celtics team led by Paul Pierce. The first half was absolutely
terrible for the Magic. After grabbing an early lead, the wheels just flew
off in the second. Dwight Howard couldn't make the freethrows. No big
surprise right? But wait even Adam Morrison couldn't hit free throws and
his shots were falling into the crowd. After the half, the young Magics
battled and went on a 10-0 run led by Dwight Howard, but was then
nullified by the Celtics who also went on a 10-0 to close out the quarter.
The Magic looked down and out. They started the forth quarter with 3
straight turnovers which lead to 5 Celtics points. Adam and Dwight then
tried to bring the team back, and for a second they looked like the Magic
were going to climb the hill and win, but those thoughts were shattered
when Gerald Green stole the ball from Adam and just jammed it down on
Hedo Turkoglu, which then sparked another big run to just put the Magic
out of the game.

+Injury Report+


It looks like Grant Hill suffered a right leg injury and left the game at the
3 minute mark of the second quarter after only playing 5 minutes on the
floor. It didn't look too serious but he didn't return for the rest of the game.



The Magic Analysis:

The Magic did an amazing job rebounding the ball, but they couldn't finish
and get the points. There was a point in the game where the Magic got
4 chances to score and flopped on all floor times. The freethrow shooting
were just terrible. D. Howard did not improve at all in the offseason. Adam
Morrison, a leader or just another trigger happy shooter? Adam took way
to many shots and only sank 11 of the 30 and only finished with 25 points
which is not what you would expect from 30 shots. The bench didn't show
up and Hedo Turkoglu was playing a different game. The only bright side
are the high Magicians, D2, Darko and Dwight. Who said Darko was a
bust? This kid was a dominating force in the paint on both sides of the
court and Dwight has learned to score efficiently by just jamming it down
on his defender. The Magic better wish these 2 keep it up or the Magic
will be in huge trouble.

Next Game: @ New Orleans

Not successful season opener for Magic. Shooting percentage by Morrison is terrible, but he managed to get 25 points. And Hill injured lol

Everybody shot terribly except for D2

the updates are going to come a bit slow, cuz I had to reformat my comp and I need to get Photoshop back up

Orlando Made The Hornets Disappear
November 2, 2006


Recap:

After a disappointing season opener, the Magic were determine to leave
with a win. It started off rough and Adam Morrison couldn't find his shot.
Everyone eles was scoring so it was OK. After the first half, the Magic
were down by 7. The coach almost lost his voice after screaming at his
players at the haf. What ever he said it worked because the Magic went
off in the 3rd and scored 40 points and were ahead 13 points walking into
the forth. The Hornets went on a 8-0 run to start off the quarter but Adam
and Dwight put it to a stop, then Darko hit a 3 and it was over. When
Darko hits a 3 its OVER. The Magic get their first win.



The Magic Analysis:

- Rebounding is still a huge plus for the Magic
- FG% wasn't bad
- Adam STOP TAKING SHOTS!
- Adam needs to drive it more
- Bench needs to contribute
- Hedo shot pretty well
- Run and Gun offence works well
- Dwight is unstoppable in the paint

Next Game: @ New York Knicks

Sweet recaps, your analysis is right, Adam takes too many shots ...

But looks very good !

Are the pictures too small? I can't really tell because Im on low Res

yeah they are pretty small and hard to see. granted i am on 1600 resolution. still.

Starbury, Too Much For The Magic
November 11, 2006





Next Game: vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Oh men ... tough loss... Maybe u need to give a chance to Ariza and Arroyo , they are a very good players , but need some minutes in the court

Also i really like your presentation

Nice dyansty.
I remembered ur Raptors one.
I see Marbury was too much for u last game.
Show some love to Trevor man.
Deserves minutes

nice man. good luck with this. looks fun.

the dynasty is cool good work on the presintation but i would like the pics to be a bit bigger
keep it up

Sucks that you lost, but I like your roster. It's solid and there aren't that many weaknesses.

Bonus points for having Pape Sow too.

Like someone else said, give Ariza a bit more playing time.

Tiago Splitter, Brandan Wright, Greg Oden, Yi Jian Lian, Thaddeus Young, Josh McRoberts, Brandon Rush, Joakim Noah, Julian Wright

The Recaps are great , tough loss to the Knicks

Nice draft class 07 they look promising

looks good

The Home Opener
November 15, 2006



Magic Notes:

- Adam's starting position is being threatened
- Deshawn Stevenson is making some noise with his limited playing time
- Dwight with a perfect FG%
- Jameer needs to stop passing to Adam and drive the ball to the basket
- D2 gave up a lot of rebounds
- They make up for it for their 9 combined blocks
- Grant Hill < Trevor Ariza

Next Game: @ Miami
