Game 1: Orladno 40-35 New York
Player of the Game: Grant Hill: 15 Points, 6 Rebounds and 3 Assists

Orlando Magic Player Stats
Tracy McGrady: 12 Points (6/16), 1 block and 1 assist
Drew Gooden: 4 Points (2/5), 10 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist, 1 block
Andrew Declerq: 4 Points (2/4), 1 rebound, 1 assist

New York Knicks Player Stats
Stephon Marbury: 15 Points (7/18), 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block
Tim Thomas: 4 Points (2/3)
Allan Houston: 16 Points (5/11), 3 rebounds

Started off great. Marbz blew Lue and Bogans away. He was hard to stop. T-Mac had a shocker and couldnt hit a shot. Gooden grabbed down 10 boards which was excellent. Howard played poorly and Declerq played decent. I dont really want to make a large trade, but if possible I would like to aquire TJ Ford or maybe even Jamal Maglore.

Game 2: Orladno 47-56 New Orleans
Player of the Game: Baron Davis: 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists

Orlando Magic Player Stats
Tracy McGrady: 20 points (8/13), 1 rebound, 2 steals
Grant Hill: 6 points (2/8), 3 rebounds, 2 assists
Drew Gooden: 6 points (3/8), 6 rebounds, 2 assists

This game really annoyed me. I could not hit a shot. T-Mac lit up for me and played well after coming of a shocker v New York. Grant Hill couldnt hit nothhing. All my PG's and SG's were getting eaten by B. Davis. Jamal Magloire blocked just about every drive. Oh well. Hopefully next time.[/b]

Transaction
The Orladno Magic Release D. Harvey
The Orlando Magic Sign R. Strickland
I needed another PG. Lue is to small to guard some f the bigger PG's (Marbury and Davis as above) and didnt have a consistant outside shot.

Trade
Orladno Trade Juwan Howard and a 04 Second (Will be given later)
Atlanta Trade Jason Terry
This deal was lovely for me. Juwan wasnt starting anyway and this gave me a starter and good PG/SG in Terry. When I want to play quick I can go with a Strickland/Terry/T-Mac/Hill/Gooden lineup. I am going to give them the 04 second to even up the deal a little.

Game 3: Orladno 47-56 Minnesotta
Player of the Game: Kevin Garnett: 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks

Orlando Magic Player Stats
Tracy McGrady: 16 points (7/10), 1 block
Grant Hill: 8 points (4/4), 3 rebounds, 2 assists
Drew Gooden: 6 points (3/6), 1 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block
Terry: 6 Points (3/8), 1 rebound, 5 assists

Another game which annoyed me lol. Its 41-42 in my favour. 6 Seconds Left. KG gets the ball in the corner, fades away, jumps to his left, shoots, over the backboard, in. Damn. How did he hit that. Anyway, I come down the other end. T-Mac loses Spree, drives to the hoop and dunks it, only to be called for a charge against Wally World who was standing behind him. Noooo!!!. Why, Why Why?

Game 4: Orlando 38-40 Houston
Player of the Game: Steve Francis: 16 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist

Orlando Player Stats
Tracy McGrady: 16 Points (8/16), 2 rebounds, 1 assist
Jason Terry: 9 Points (4/7), 4 rebounds, 1 assist
Grant Hill: 8 Points (4/8), 3 rebounds, 1 assist
Drew Gooden: 5 Points (2/3), 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block

Another game that went down to the wire. With 6 seconds to go, Rod Strickland passed the ball to the other team trying to give it to T-Mac.

Game 5: Orlando 46-32 LAC
Player of the Game: Drew Gooden: 8 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists

Orlando Player Stats
Jason Terry: 13 Points (5/13), 1 rebound, 1 assist
Grant Hill: 12 Points (5/7), 1 rebound, 1 assist
Tracy McGrady: 12 Points, (5/5), 1 rebound in 5 minutes

I won! I’m sitting 2-3 at the moment. Damn Corey Maggette landed on T-Mac giving him a back injury. No! But I think I may have played better without him. I mean, we actually won. JT stepped up big time and in Steven Hunters first full game, he grabbed down 10 boards.

Game 6: Orlando 48-32 Utah
Player of the Game: Jason Terry: 16 points, 1 steal, 3 assists

Orladno Player Stats
Tracy McGrady: 12 Points (5/11), 4 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal
Drew Gooden: 8 Points (3/4), 3 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals
Grant Hill: 8 Points (3/7), 2 rebounds, 1 block, 2 assists[b]

I scored 44 in 3 quarters, then 2 in the last. I was killing them until NBA Live's communism style kicked in were Utah went on a shooting spreee, no missing a shot.
