Foyle has had his best game of the season. Our bench has been key to winning this game so far. Lewis has also came up huge in the 2nd half. He is hitting everything right now. Best thing is, we have done it with out Howard on the floor because he has been in foul trouble.

Dwight Howard: 9 pts, 10 boards
Adonal Foyle: 8 pts, 10 boards

Amazing..

19-6 quarter has the Magic up 78-64 with 5:35 left

[Idunkonyou]

Howard has 5 fouls and I'd say 4 of them were cheap as hell. I guess the refs had money on the Blazers?

Magic win 85-74. Defensive battle which is pretty much what I thought it would be. Close through out, but Magic pull away in the end just like I called it. On to Seattle which should be another win.

[JNice]

That crappy shooting will work against Seattle but they better get that straight before Phoenix and LA or we will be losing.

Nice to see the bench contributing. Tough night for Dwight ... 5 fouls and 3 of them were BS.

[Babir]

Good win, but very nervous...
Lewis carried us in second half, suprise game from Foyle (6 offensive boards), I think we should use him more...

Agreed. The game was really just hard to watch all the way. Sloppy play on both sides and the fouls on Howard were complete BS. The refs pretty much took him out of the game, yet he still almost had a double/double. He should have a bounce back game in Seattle.

whew just got back from the game. was nuts and i was very embarrassed to be a magic fan on plenty of plays. first off, the refs were just terrible. missed calls left and right. blown calls all the time. enough charging calls on MOVING players? lots of missed open shots. good game from arroyo, he played pretty steady and made excellent passes, guess that means 2 stinker games coming up right?

man watching dwight live is amazing. he gets UP there and that first block on roy had the crowd going! jj redick sighting! WOO HOO!

i liked during that last play, arroyo was jumping up and down telling redick to stay on webster and not to help on the play, but when the blazers drove into the lane, he of course crept in to help. and then near the end of the 3rd quarter, jj may have gotten called to check in, but as he was running he got sent back

roy had a pretty crappy game and aldridge was shooting jumpers for whatever reason instead of posting up turk and lewis. poor coaching on mcmillain's part. good thing we woke up from the shooting slump in the 4th. hope that carries over to seattle for lewis' return.

BLAZE, arguably tied with the Magic's Puff the Magic Dragon as the worst mascot in the NBA.

those are some nice pics dean... must've been a great game to watch live.

hopefully i will provide some from staples later on.
