Augmon better not be starting, but it's not like he's starting over Darko. Battie is starting over Darko. I don't see why Hill wouldn't be starting, I didn't hear anything about an injury between Friday and today.

F: Stacey Augmon vs. Tracy McGrady
C: Tony Battie vs. Yao Ming

I don't care how long Darko has been on the team, if Augmon starts over him I'm going to be pissed.

Is Hill out again? He started the last game ... it'll probably be Dooling/Stevenson/Hill/Battie/Howard ... I don't think we'll see Darko starting at all this year.

With what he's been through it would be nice to see him start and get a nice ovation from the Orlando crowd. That won't happen but it would be nice.

I think he would get an ovation from the majority of the fans. Maybe not the bitter ones, but I think he would get recognized.

Neither do I, unless Battie goes down with an injury or something.

That's just the lineup I found on NBA.com. I don't know how true it is though.

You just said according to NBA.com Augmon is starting. I don't see any reason why he would be, or why NBA.com or any other site would think he would be starting today.

I guess with Hill lately, who knows. I was really suprised he started the last game ... I didn't even know he'd be playing. Then he comes out playing like an All-Star ... too bad we can't get that every night.

Ariza might be able to play some minutes at SG. We don't really have a backup SG and I'd much rather see Ariza play there than Plastic Man. Frankly I can't beleive Augmon is even still playing.

WHERE: TD Waterhouse Centre.

RECORDS: Magic 20-34, Rockets 24-31.

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

MAGIC UPDATE: Orlando broke an eight-game losing streak Friday, beating Seattle. PG Carlos Arroyo and F Darko Milicic made their Magic home debuts after arriving in a trade with the Detroit Pistons. Arroyo had 18 points and four assists, and Milicic added eight points and five rebounds. . . . F Hedo Turkoglu should play after missing two games with a sprained left ankle. . . . Today's game will be "silent,'' void of the blaring music normally accompanying possessions.

ROCKETS UPDATE: On Friday, the Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors in Houston, their first victory in 14 games this season without former Magic G Tracy McGrady. According to the Houston Chronicle, McGrady was out of town after the death of his fiancee's mother. . Keith Bogans, another former Magic guard, is expected to start if McGrady is not with the team today. . . . Against the Warriors, C Yao Ming had 22 points and 21 rebounds.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Dwight Howard's matchup with Yao. Big men tend to bother him. Orlando had better ball movement and no turnovers Friday with Arroyo on the floor.

Yea, Ariza better be taking all of the minutes Augmon's been playing lately.

Let's go Magic, it's so great to watch games now with the new players and a huge crowd.
