Are You Thankful, Magic Fans?
December 30, 2010 by Brett Roberts
Filed under MLB
We clamored for change. It was readily apparent to the most casual spectator that a championship was not within reach given the current roster. We knew something had to be done and it was within Otis Smith’s realm of expertise to make personnel changes and bring about the kind of team transformation that could result [...]

Magic Continue to Roll, Snowplowing Cleveland
December 29, 2010 by Brett Roberts
Filed under MLB
Admittedly, I did not see the Spurs or Celtics games due to my vacation, but I can say with apparent ease: How well these trades have worked out! Hedo has returned to 08-09 form, Jason Richardson is a dead eye shooter, Arenas is instant offense off the bench, and even throw in Earl Clark looks [...]

Remember What I said about the J.R. Smith dunk?
December 20, 2010 by Brett Roberts
Filed under MLB
I recall saying that we “needed” what J.R. Smith brought to the table in terms of excitement. Enter, Jason Richardson. Richardson is capable of dazzling on fast breaks and always brings an element of excitement if he gets it in the open court (here’s to more fast break opportunites!). And who can forget we already [...]
Farewell, Marcin Gortat
December 20, 2010 by Brett Roberts
Filed under MLB
It goes without saying that we all have our favorite players, and of all the unsung heroes and bench players in Magic history, Gortat ranks up there with Jerry ‘Ice’ Reynolds and Anthony Bowie for me. It’s his “heart and hustle” that endeared him to us and I almost hoped sometimes that Dwight would pick [...]
