Magic Woes & Sad LeBron!

The Orlando Magic are in a state of woe at the moment. Jameer Nelson is out, VC15 seems to have several nagging injuries, and they lost two road games in a back to back schedule against the Utah Jazz and the Pheonix Suns. Orlando got spark after defeating the Indiana Pacers led by Dwight starting to return to old playing performance.
The back to back losses were tough especially after the Magic had an 18 point lead in the second quarter, and then lost the game 120-111 against the Jazz. There were internal problems with Rashard not going back in during the second but the real problem was Deron Williams, and this is why Jameer is missed. Deron Williams is younger, stronger, and faster then Jason Williams or Anthony Johnson. Deron got into the paint too many times, and tore apart the Magic defense.
The loss to the Suns also proved that Jameer is missed because Nash needs to defend a scoring point guard in order to slow down transitions, and this is not the case with Jason Williams or Anthony Johnson. The loss was by three, and Orlando had a chance, but they came up short and received another road loss. Magic fans were a little worried, but they are a bounce back team.
The Magic were losing for most of the game against Indiana, but fought hard to come back with Dwight positng his second 20/20 game of the season, and an unlikely pair of heros in Anthony Johnson and JJ Redick kept Orlando in the game during the second quarter. VC15 scored great, and the Magic pulled away in the 4th with a 106-98 victory.
The Magic have the same record that they had last year at this time with 17-6, but more three pointers per game (is that even possible), and more points scored per game at 102.5, and still keeping teams scoring in the mid-nineties at 96.5 (only one point higher than last season). These stats show good offense and defense. The Magic and every NBA team goes through the downs, so Magic fans do not worry.
LeBron James is in a sad state. He still needs to score 43 points in order to keep the Cavs in a game vs Memphis. He needs to score a season high 44 pts in order to win against Oklahoma City Tunder. It’s great to see James score like a machine, but its sad in a sense because the adition of Leon Powe, Shaq, Moon, and Anthony Parker should take the load off of James a little and allow for an all team type of scoring play. Stars need to be stars, but the Cavs have a worse record than last season, and seem to be elite sometimes, but then fall back to earth.
Funy notes with James and Willaims, who both had awesome plays during the Thunder game. James got a seal and then ate some fries from a fan in the front row. Williams hit a great halfcourt shot. Willaims has shown he can shoot and score, but the real questions comes in the playoffs, when his point really matter.


Here It Is & Remember that I have nothing weird to say today!
