JJ Redick: “Plus, we don’t have LeBron. Seriously, if the guy (James) said tomorrow that he was going to run for President, (CNN’s) Anderson Cooper would be on SportsCenter for 30 minutes talking about why he’d make a good president.” First the “rap album” and now this? He’s winning back the hearts and minds of [...]
The Orlando Magic go in search of their 5th road win after dropping 2 this season and will be especially buoyed after their win against the Boston Celtics in their last game around taking a big lead early in the game. What will favor the Magic against the Raptors in this early fixture is that they tend to have a bigger bench this season which can help them with the scoring even when the big players...

That's the mindset for the Orlando Magic , as head coach Stan Van Gundy talked about the matchup between the two teams early in the afternoon once practice was over. To Stan, it's just another regular season game to him but he understands the challenges the C's will present to his squad. I was able...

Rashard Lewis is back tongiht against the Bobcats, and not a minute too soon considering the sad state of the Magic. Marcin Gortat isn't expected to play because of an illness, J.J. Redick is doubtful and Brandon Bass will be less than full strength.
C Marcin Gortat missed Sunday's practice, sick. "I don't think we'll have him tomorrow," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. Jameer Nelson missed practice as well, but Van Gundy expects him to be available tomorrow. Van Gundy said Nelson tested negative for any kind of flu and has an upper respiratory infection. That's similar to what Matt Barnes played with earlier this season. And finally,...

Redick tweaked an ankle (it's nothing serious, he'll practice tomorrow), the Orlando Magic were down to 9 individuals and...
Injury-riddled New Jersey, led by former Magic PG Rafer Alston's triple-double, gave the Magic a pretty good game for a half, and trailed by just six points with under ten minutes remaining in the game before the Magic went on a 10-0 run to seal the victory. The Magic were missing Brandon Bass (flu), in addition to Rashard Lewis and Ryan Anderson. The Nets were missing six different players, including...
The final score was not an indication about how one-sided this game was, as Cleveland had a 20 point lead with under six minutes remaining in the game before a meaningless Magic run in the final five minutes. LeBron James and Mo Williams combined for 64 points. The Magic had their only lead of the game at 9-7, as the Cavaliers shot 65% in the first quarter to lead 35-28. The Cavaliers extended their...
But the big picture, in my opinion, is that I think Orlando in the second half of the season will be functioning like a well-oiled machine. When you add [Vince] Carter and [Rashard] Lewis to the starting lineup, you take Matt Barnes and Brandon Bass and J.J. Redick and put them on your second unit. Naturally, the coaching staff will have an excellent nine- or 10-man rotation of experienced players....
The Magic welcomed back Vince Carter in a bench role, as he saw his first action in a week from a sprained ankle, and he tied with Dwight Howard for the team lead in scoring with 15 points as the Magic bounced back from their debacle Sunday night against Oklahoma City. The Bobcats' only lead of the game came at 2-0. The Magic, who shot nearly 70% in the first quarter, led 35-23 after one, and extended...
