[28-7] Blue & White Ignite | Month of December Report

I guess K-Mart can give you some low post presence. Liking the Tony acquisition.

Hmmm, pretty good trade. Good luck.

K-Mart durability is a problem, gonna use some development drills for him. As for Tony Allen, he's my favorite Celtic, sad they didn't give him another contract. He's a pesky defender and he'll check the surefire scorers in every opponent team. Gonna play games in the first week and post it maybe tomorrow.

i would waste drills on an oldie...esp if hes not in the long-long term plans

use it one someone that will be on ur team for a while...preferably young

KidJustin, Maybe your right but Bass is injured for at least 4 months I think so K-Mart is badly needed. Anderson is too soft and not that defensive-minded, but I love his range

You traded J-Rich.

At least the Bobcats look good this year. They signed Afflalo, got the 3rd pick in the draft, and got Kanter!

Spurs cruise to 119-102 win over Magic

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Orlando's 22 turnovers in the game pretty much cost them the loss. They wasted 22 possessions and eventually lose their first
game of their season against the San Antonio Spurs, 119-102.

Argentinian Manu Ginobili scored 19 points in the first half where he just missed one shot attempt and finished the night with a team-high 28 points.
He also had six assists and three steals. Ginobili cooled off in the remaining half though, where he turned the ball six times. Spurs pulled away from the
Magic where they outscored them 35-22. Six players including Ginobili reached double figures for them. Role players like George Hill and James Anderson
enjoyed the last seven minutes of the fourth quarter when Greg Popovich decided to rest his starters. Hill and Anderson scored 17 and 14 respectively.
Tim Duncan finished with a double-double, 14 points and 13 boards.

With the Magic lacking a true scorer pretty much relied to Dwight Howard throughout the game, Howard had a great opening performance, 26 points,
10 rebounds, four assists and three swats. Hedo Turkoglu added 17 points and nine boards, while rookie Jordan Hamilton who's looking promising
on his first game came off the bench with 16 points. New acquisition Tony Allen showed his defensive arsenal, grabbing five rebounds, made three steals
and six assists.

Spurs won the rebounding battle where they grabbed eight more boards than the Magic did, 54-46. They also performed well shooting the three, they made
15 threes out of 26 attempts.

Allen's dunk save Magic as they hold off the Celtics

BOSTON (AP) — With just 5.6 seconds remaining, Hedo Turkoglu threw a desperation fadeaway jumper but the ball bounce off the rim, by then an ex-Celtic
flew over three players and made an emphatic putback, and-one dunk to help the Magic beat the Celtics, 95-92.

Tony Allen just made eight points in the game but he turned out to be the hero of the game where he made the free-throw after the dunk to extend the Magic's
lead to three. Dwight Howard scored 24 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots to led the Magic. Ryan Anderson contributed 17 points
off the bench and been deadly from three where he made 3-of-4. Gilbert Arenas save Jameer Nelson's slumping night where he had 15 points in just 17 minutes.

The two teams were battling throughout the game and exchanging lead after lead. Kevin Garnett led the Celtics by his 18 points but his game-winning shot
attempt wasway off mark, he also had six rebounds. Jeff Green and Paul Pierce each scored 17 while Ray Allen 14 points for the Celtics who lose now their
second consecutive game.

Magic's bench outperformed the Celtics where they got 47 points from the reserves, Celtics' bench mob made 38. The home team showed more aggressive than
the Magic though where they forced themselves to go to the line 29 times, Magic only attempted 12 free throws.

Tough 1st loss, great finish on the second.

Quick recaps but I love how they look

Recaps looks good as always from you
Green, Crawford and Thomas? Wow, C's will get 18th

nice presentation,nice to see Tony Allen beating his former team

Nice-looking recap there. Huge dunk by Tony Allen, all Kenyon Martin could do is stare in awe.

Mavs4Life, Thanks man, it's really hard to handle Manu

Thierry •, Thanks, will still add some features on the upcoming weeks.

Valdis, They are still old as hell Crawford didn't performed well enough against us.

maksie, Tony Allen ftw!

Axel., Thanks man. That dunk is really the gamesaver for me, glad Allen did it. That pic is wonderful, it caught the lights too.

I'm pissed on how to use Nelson. Can't even score him with 10 points

I like that you went for Kevin Martin. The Spurs game looks very tough, but at least you won against the Celtics.

trade bass for ibaka

osaki, It's not Kevin bro, it's Kenyon

KidJustin, Ooh, nice idea. But Bass is out until February. What I want is a real scorer to partner with Howard

Nice Recap style, like always

Maby trade for somebody with a sweet jumper, you have Howard dominating the paint, two paint-dominators aint bad but somebody with a nice shot could be great use IMO.

If not, Ibaka would be pretty nice. Or Gibson?

Wow! That was fast... First time I checked this out, you were doing last season's recaps and now 2012 season is on the way... Good Luck man!

Howard's monster game powers Magic to a win over Heat

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Orlando Magic is back on their home to face the defending champions Miami Heat. And it was really a magic opening as they
witnessed a great performance by their star Dwight Howard.

Howard scored 44 points, on a 19-of-26 shooting, grabbed nine rebounds and had three blocks to overcome LeBron James and Dwyane Wade's
performance to give the Heat their first loss of the season. There were also help arrived from his teammates like Jameer Nelson who had 23 points,
nine assists and seven rebounds, Hedo Turkoglu had also a great night with his 20 points to go along with six rebounds and seven assists.

Heat weren't able to pick up the slack and can't find answers to Howard. Great efforts from James and Wade was wasted as they were abused in the
paint and outscored by the Magic, 60-42. James had a team-high 32 points and 11 rebounds while Wade added 31 of his own. Another member of
the trio Chris Bosh was quiet throughout the game and only scored 12 points.

Despite an off-night from Rose, Bulls able to beat Magic

CHICAGO (AP) — Yes Derrick Rose was only held to nine points but the Bulls is now not a one-man team this season. Free-agent acquisition Marcus
Thornton led the Bulls with his 20 points despite a poor 8-of-21 shooting, Carlos Boozer had a big double-doulbe, 18 points and 13 boards while
Luol Deng added 15 apiece to save Rose's nightmare game and grab a win against the Magic.

turnover fest by the Magic where they committed 15. They were also beaten in the battle of the boards, 51-42. Bulls had their best five minutes of
the game in fourth quarter where they made 5 out of their 6 field goal attempts to pull away from the opponent.
