I missed the game's initial telecast, but I got to catch the second telecast this afternoon on Sunshine. Not a bad showing by the Magic. I love the way that we're pushing the ball up court very often this year, even when the other team has scored sometimes. This team is going to do very good things if they keep this up. I think that this might be one of the most crucial years in franchise history. If the Magic can keep winning in such an exciting fashion at home, chances are that ticket sales are just going to get better. As a result, we might end up getting that new arena we so desperately need to keep the team in town.
This game was huge,it was deffiantly a great opener for the Magic.It may be an indicator on how the Magic will produce this season. Steve Francis looks great,he is going to thrive under the Orlando fast pace offense.Dwight Howard looks good and it will be intresting to see if he stays consistant throughout the season.The story of t he game of course was Stevies GW fg,but Magic fans should be proud to see how Grant hill played,this is his first game after 21 months and he put up a monster game with 20 points and 4 rebounds. Great win for the Magic and hopefuly they will stay out of slumps and keep consistant.(remember what happened last year)
Great game played by the Magic as an opener. We played a hell of game even though we gave up a 15 point lead, I saw alot of postive playing from the Magic. They were running up and down the court like the old Nets, alot of plays in transition. Dwight seemed to do well in that department, along with rebounds,scoring and blocks. 4 is pretty impressive for the young gunner. Kelvin Cato had some great blocks as well and really had me in aw with some of them. Grant Hill is back ladies and Gentlemen, he played wonderfully for a guy with 4 knee surgeries, hitting some great shots and showing great hustle on the court. Pat Garrity played well also, showing that jumper whenever he could. I really didn't see alot of Jameer this game so don't have anything to say about him. All in all great play by the Magic and great playing by Steve Francis who was outstanding in the opener. Glad we got the W and go MAGIC!
