I was at the game tonight and I gotta say, it almost felt like a real game atmosphere. It was very fun to see almost the whole team pretty much score at will throughout the game and the fans had their share of loud moments.

I think both our point guards played very well. Jameer distributed great and Arroyo did a little of everything while playing the whole 3rd quarter.

If the Magic play anything near like this in the season, they will be a very fun team to watch.

So yeah, Adonal Foyle may end up being the best signing of the offseason!!!
He got beat early by Emeka but got the overall best of him on BOTH ENDS of the court when it was all said and done. 14 points and some stellar hustle will get you major playing time.

Dwight did pretty good, didn't really need to do much (took one jumper and missed).

JJ IS CLOSING IN ON STARTING AT SG. Overall, he did pretty good guarding J-Rich and was just MAKING IT RAIN FROM DOWNTOWN. 17 points for that man.

Turk was the Sub of the Game with a cool 20 points. Big bounceback game from Monday.

Kebo also with a bounceback game with around 10 points.

Chuck also in double figures as he had a cleaner game at PG.

JAMEER ABUSED THE SH*T OUT OF FELTON!!! HE BROKE HIS ANKLES 3 TIMES (and then Felton fell again on his own another 3+ times). JAMEER'S UNSELFISHNESS IS IMPRESSING THE HELL OUT OF ME. I almost did a double take when I saw that Jameer had 12 assists off just 2 turnovers.

PAT BASTARD COMES THROUGH WITH A DOUBLE DIGIT PERFORMANCE. He was also showing off the blue knee pads.

MARCIN 'THE WARLOCK' GORTAT IS HERE FOLKS. He came in looking a little antsy and rusty, but by the 4th quarter he had his s**t downpact.

Rashard got hurt with the sprained ankle now (day-to-day). This game was a lot worse than his Atlanta game (he drove to the hole a bit, played some good D and took some nice open shots). He made a nice J tonight but not much else from him.
I like that our team seems to play just a great without him though.



Torrell Martin and Kruger played a bit at the end and showed some fast ball movement. Both played damn well on defense. One of these guys may have a shot at getting on this roster (probably Martin since he's lightning quick).


LOOK FOR A FEW VIDEOS OF THE GAME ACTION AND SOME MAGIC DANCER DUNKING IF YOU WEREN'T AT THE GAME AND WANT TO SEE WITH YOUR EYES WHAT HAPPENED.

Refs f**ked up again, and that scares me as well, hopefully it's just preseason rust for them as well.

Again, will take any questions on the game. Sorry if I missed any details.

When watching Jameer in college, I knew that he could have games like this where he distributed the ball well. He just needed to be in a system that suits him. Brian Hill's system was complete garbage and it's slowly showing right now.

I know how bad it is for most of you guys being at home and listening on the radio not getting a good feel for the team with no t.v. coverage around.

Anyway...

I've got the very end of the game too, but since it's past 2 a.m., and I'm waking up at 7:15 a.m. for class so I think I'll get some shuteye. :D

First the cramp, now the day-to-day ankle sprain. :(
Good thing it's preseason, but there were some impatient looking Magic fans at the game once Rashard limped to the locker room.
