Orlando Magic

The NBA’s Eastern Conference is ugly. The NBA’s Western Conference, meanwhile, is pretty flipping fantastic. This will now conclude the portion of the article where we talk about anything besides the 76ers’ suckitude. Well, not really. There are loads of other things to discuss. Like the Warriors being incredible. And the Grizzlies drinking from the Warriors’ Gatorade [...]

There’s a lot for the NBA to be thankful for this time of year. Stephen Curry’s bombs; Marc Gasol’s everything; the Mavericks offense; the Kings’ illogical record; Jimmy Butler’s surge; Anthony Davis’ god mode; San Antonio being San Antonio; Damian Lillard’s cold-bloodedness; and so much more. Truth told, there is also plenty the league could [...]

Holy crap, the Warriors are good. I could stop there, because that’s all you need to know. They’re taking over the NBA one game at a time, and assuming health, won’t be stopping anytime soon. Nor will I, because you deserve more than some pre-rankings Warriors-loving. So with that in mind, here’s a choppy portrait [...]

Tobias Harris potentially wants to come home. The Long Island, New York basketball product will enter restricted free agency this summer after failing to reach an extension with the Orlando Magic by the October 31 deadline. According to The Knicks Blog’s Adam Zagoria, he has his sights set on the New York Knicks: But the [...]

Allow me to tell you a secret. Injuries suck. The NBA has been a hotbed for injuries and sad storylines early on, and it sucks and blows simultaneously. So, too, does the whole early-season confusion. There is so much inconsistency around the Association this time of year. Good teams aren’t good, bad teams aren’t bad, [...]

You guys. It wasn’t a dream. The NBA is still back. Shhh. Stop fist-pumping and -bumping and -twerking so loudly. You might scare the regular season away. There. That’s better. The first week of the 2014-15 season was crazy. There were plenty of exciting games, and even more devastating injuries.  There were surprise wins, and [...]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. The NBA is back. Like, really back. Not summer-league back. Not FIBA World Cup back. Not training camp back. Not preseason back. Regular-season back. The Hoop Doctors’ totally awesome, not-at-all restrained power rankings back. That’s right. After a months-long hiatus—during which time yours [...]

The Orlando Magic and their center Nikola Vucevic have reached a four-year, $54 million dollar extension, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports. Vucevic, 23, certainly has a lot of potential yet to be maximized within him and the Magic want to assure of his services for the next few years while he grows [...]

Oh, Dwight. All of us have our vices. Mine’s eating pizza rolls in excess. I diet—without portioning—week by week, rarely succumbing to candy and fast-food cravings. But then I’ll go out, or be up super late for some reason or another, and stuff myself silly with pepperoni pizza rolls whilst watching TV, sometimes falling asleep [...]

August and the NBA don’t together. News is typically slow this time of year, leaving fans and scribes to look for topics of interest and note. When the Kevin Love rumors aren’t flowing and the San Antonio Spurs offense isn’t running like a well-oiled, time-tested machine, that’s a ridiculously hard task. Benny Kriefall of Minnesota [...]
