I haven't even heard about this in the media. Cool find. I wish we played any other team than Orlando. I find they were a horrible match up for us.

Will this be "charged" as a home game for us or the magic ??

I'm guessing Orlando.

The Toronto Raptors are going back to England.

The Raptors will face the Orlando Magic in an NBA regular-season game Jan. 14 at the O2 Arena in London, the league will formally announce Wednesday.

The Raptors were part of the NBA's first regular-season foray to London when they played two games against the then-New Jersey Nets at the same facility on the banks of the River Thames in 2011.

Magic officials asked the league to be part of the London contest, according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel, citing a good business opportunity. The Magic will be globetrotters of sorts this season, as they also play an exhibition game against Brazilian club Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro on Oct. 17.

We're not going to win this game. This franchise is an embarrassment already and we'll make it worse by losing to the tragic

Still can remember Leandro Barbosa throwing up his arms in confusion as Andrea Bargnani held the ball at the elbow for 20 seconds before launching a contested 3 pointer at the end of one of the overtimes lol

Why are we always the guinea pig? Seriously **** off NBA. There's 30 NBA teams, we already went in the last decade.
