Orlando Magic
REMINDER: Our game on Saturday is a 5 p.m. start! We are in the international TV window, seen in at least 21 countries!
Vucevic experienced something that had never happened during his previous 216 games played for the Orlando Magic: A coach benched him at halftime and didn't put him back into the game. After the game, Vucevic spent at least an hour working out inside the Magic's Amway Center practice facility.

Orlando Magic players are running 18.4 miles a game. Next closest is Bulls at 17.4. Clippers are low at 16 miles per game
Orlando shot 53.6 percent while winning both of last season's meetings (with Kings). Oladipo played one of his best games as a pro in a 119-114 victory March 6, scoring 32 on 14-of-24 shooting with 10 assists.
Skiles on Elfrid-Rondo comparisons:
Elfrid is a young player trying to develop his game. I don't want Elfrid to ever be satisified with any sort of comparison or anything like that. I want him to be elfrid, have his own game, his own style. If other people make those comparisons that's fine, everybody's got a right to do that, it's nothing I would encourage... not because I'm not a fan of Rondo, I am. But I want Elfrid to be as good as he could possibly be.
Oladipo, now in his third pro season, has held a winning record for a grand total of 48 hours as an NBA player. On Nov. 6, 2013, the Magic beat the Los Angeles Clippers to improve to 3-2. Two days later, the Magic lost to the Boston Celtics. The Magic haven't been above .500 since. The stretch was so short-lived that Oladipo didn't even remember it when he was asked about the possibility of going above .500.
"Being at .500 is not our goal," Vucevic said.

Sorry, Channing, this is your new captain speaking...

We will not have an injury update on Rudy Gay until this evening I am being told. Strained left shoulder is the initial diagnosis
Rondo is averaging 13.1 pts, 14 ast and 9.6 reb in 43 mpg in the last 7 games.
Cousins has made more threes so far this season than he has in his previous 5 seasons combined.
The Kings are 0-4 on the road.

Let's go baby! Climbing above 500 and hopefully be the last time in a while we're talking about this. We're young but our guys always bring it so can't complain

Cousins is probably my favorite player outside of anyone on the Magic. Looking forward to this
Go magic!

Sacramento is a great paper team, still has yet to come together though.

Sounds reminiscent of how the Lakers were a great team on paper when Howard and Nash were traded to them back in 2012. The Kings will still go thru their growing pains for a minute. Either GK will get yank from his position or DMC will get traded to another team.

Fixed.
Seriously, if there is another Minny-style win (play soft and have then bench bail out the team), I would prefer that over the whole team playing hard but losing the game.

The last time Orlando has been above 500 in any way is Nov. 6, 2013. That was a 3-2 mark. The last time Orlando first got a winning record after more than ten games was Jan. 11, 2012.
We fans have waiting a long, long time for this very moment.

Let's make this happen! It's a winnable game and if we want to make the playoffs this year we should win games like this.
