Raptors at Magic, 7

WHERE: TD Waterhouse Centre.

RECORDS: Magic 33-37; Raptors 29-41.

BROADCAST: TV -- Sun Sports; Radio -- 580 AM (WDBO); Spanish -- 1030 AM (WONQ).

MAGIC UPDATE: The Magic lost PG Jameer Nelson for about two weeks (torn ribcage muscle) in Monday night's victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Their injury list filled, the Magic will petition the league to see if they can add a player. . . . The Magic will start veteran Stacey Augmon at shooting guard and bring DeShawn Stevenson off the bench, hoping Stevenson brings instant offense the way Nelson did. . . . Steve Francis will play the bulk of the minutes at the point. He's coming off a 30-point game against the Hawks.

RAPTORS UPDATE: The Raptors lost in Miami 103-91 on Tuesday. . . . The Raptors are looking for their third victory over the Magic this season. They beat Orlando in Toronto on Jan. 3 and March 9. In the last meeting at Air Canada Centre, Donyell Marshall and Matt Bonner each scored 14 points off the bench to hurt the Magic. . . . Jalen Rose leads the Raptors in scoring (17.8).

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: How the Magic handle being shorthanded, especially in the backcourt against Rafer Alston and Morris Peterson.

We're so thin that Howard didn't even get taken out after his second. On the bright side, we're playing pretty well. Guokas is really tearing Araujo a new one, I'm not sure why he hates him .

Captain Obvious

That pitch by Dwight was pathetic. He was a pitcher in high school, WTF???

JNice

Why haven't we figured out that everytime we have a fastbreak we score?

Jeez Garrity, we got you like 4 wide open threes. And what's up with Augmon, I couldn't really see but I'm pretty sure Dwight was wide open for a dunk and instead he tossed it behind his head to Bonner.

Captain Obvious

He seems a little cocky but he's got some personality, so that's not a bad thing. I really want to see him alongside Jameer and Dwight for the next 10 years.

37-48 Magic!!

JNice

I don't know about his game, but he is a very good, long athlete. He looks like he weighs about 175 soaking wet though.

Raptors have ten turnovers already..

Captain Obvious

Wow Stevenson got high for that board. He needs to use that athleticism to become a better finisher, that could really take his game to another level.

G-Unit03

Yep..

G-Unit03

55-45 Magic at the half.

Captain Obvious

If you guys are watching the McDonald's game, Martell Webster is another 2 prospect who I think we should look at. He has an NBA body already and he can shoot.

JNice

True, but I think he is looking better because not many of those guys out there look very good. I don't see anyone who really looks NBA quality right now. Not even close to previous years. The bigs are particularly weak this year.



... I'm surprised Orlando is playing as well with so many guys injured. Toronto is not playing very well at all.
