Magic vs Bucks - first game of the season


Magic vs Bucks

The Orlando Magic played their first regular season game last night. I was equipped with a 12 pack of Busch, large bag of Potato Chips, and some Crunch and Munch.

This was a very exiting Basketball game, probably the best and most exciting game in the past two years for the Magic. The score was pretty close for most of the game. The Magic did have a 15 point lead at one time, but the Bucks came back to lead the game. The score with 3 seconds left was 91–92 when Steve Frances scored a basket giving the Magic a 1 point lead and a win. Final was 93-92

Rookie Dwight Howard finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, not bad for his first NBA game…and an amazing dunk that didn’t make the highlights on ESPN for some reason. Frances finished with 23, Hill had 20.

I must say, I think this team can and will go far in the play-offs. Who knows, they may even go to the finals. The only obstacle they may encounter are the Miami Heat - You know, having Shaq and all. We will see. It should be a better season than last year.

Got this off Orlandosentinel.com pretty funny:
Francis took a mild swipe at T-Mac, whose Rockets are 0-2, saying, "I think both teams got what they wanted. If [the Rockets] want guys to walk up the court and shoot fade-away jump shots, they got what they want. If the Magic want a team of players who get up and down the court, then they got what they wanted."
