Third Quarter Collapse: An SB Nation Community

Navigation: Jump to content areas:





Orlando Magic 109, Denver Nuggets 98

The Magic won tonight, unexpectedly, thanks to some strong defense. Maybe I should bash the team more often.

Nah.

The full recap should be up in this space sometime tomorrow morning. Until then, have fun with the boxscore:

  • Schmitz's 20/20 prediction for Dwight came true;
  • Rashard Lewis lead the team in scoring;
  • Briak Cook scored 18 points on 9 shot attempts;
  • and the two-guard tandem of Maurice Evans and Keith Bogans combined to shoot 2-of-15 for 4 points while J.J. Redick recorded yet another DNP-CD.

Interesting stuff.

Also, according to the Washington Post's Ivan Carter, Wizards forward Caron Butler is doubtful for the All-Star game this Sunday. Hedo Turkoglu's best shot to make the team is right now. The Canadian Press reports Ray Allen, not Hedo Turkoglu, will replace Butler. Thanks to Bullets Forever for the assist on the Carter article.

Besides tomorrow's recap, I don't plan on making any posts until after the All-Star break... which means Otis Smith will go do something completely stupid and I'll end up spending the whole weekend writing about it. Do NOT pick up that phone, Otis! Unless it's an offer for one of these guys.

Hedo snubbed

Hedo was snubbed.
Allen making it solely because of the Celtics record is just stupid.
And I'm a Ray Allen fan.
And what about Calderon?

Re: Hedo snubbed

Selecting Allen over Hedo is pretty indefensible, but I'm through making that argument. It's self-evident and the only people who disagree are Celtics fans.

Calderon has a chance to make the team if

  1. the Kidd trade goes through before the All-Star game; and
  2. David Stern realizes there isn't another point guard in the East who even approaches Calderon's greatness

Featured Poll

Poll
How seriously should the Magic pursue Clippers free-agent guard Corey Maggette?
  • As seriously as possible, even if it means trading Hedo Turkoglu and filler to Los Angeles in a sign-and-trade deal
  • Fairly seriously, as in offering the full mid-level exception, and thus losing the cap space to sign any other free-agents
  • Not seriously, as in offering only the low-level veteran's exception
  • Not at all.
