Let's March Into April

This weekend ended with a bittersweet moment, seeing the Amway Arena get imploded and just to think all of the memories we had in that building, as a Magic fan, don’t forget Nick Anderson’s steal from the GOAT, 19 game losing streak, my favorite was when in attendance, the game winning dunk from Turkoglu to Howard over the Spurs, and of course clinching the Eastern Conference titles back in 1995, and 2009. But down the road is our new home, playground, and it’s the huge stopping block that could have been Kansas City Magic, it don’t even sound right. The Amway Center does a great job of highlighting the past in chronological order, so it’s like taking a stroll down memory lane.

The task at hand, ad mist the Dwight Drama, the New York media is ripping him a new one with signing his Early Termination Option to stay in Orlando till 2013, he made a decision with his heart, and he loves it here in Orlando, and wants to do something special here, the Management stressed that the team would be in a better position in 2013 with contracts coming off the books, and have trade bait with expiring contracts to acquire some help for Dwight. The first few games after the fiasco ended, we ended up winning big up New Jersey 91-81, the traveled down to South Beach, and went toe to toe with the Heat until they clicked on all cylinders in the fourth quarter. Chicago Bulls without Derrick Rose ended up embarrassing the Magic 59-85, the next few games got back on track to win against Phoenix 103-93, and Cleveland 93-80.  Orlando must focus, because they have 17 games left, including 4 back to backs, and seven home games left. As of now, The Magic are currently match up with the Hawks in the first round, they beat us twice with battling significant injuries and seem to remain a match up nightmare. Dwight stood with us because he believes we could make a title run, when the shots fall, the Magic are a tough team to beat, that we do know, but when the lid covers the basket, and if you stay home at the shooters, and play Dwight one-on-one, that becomes a problem, April is the home run stretch, so Magic fans, relax and enjoy the ride, because the playoffs are around the corner.
