HOORAY

Winning on your opponents home court is always a good thing.The Magic crushed the Houston Rockets 76-74 at their house last night. Psycologically speaking, getting their first win should ease things and hopefully loosen our guys up. Kudos to Stevie who scored 27 points in a homecoming performance that was a little more like the Steve Francis the fans have come to expect. Jameer Nelsons' 10 points in the fourth quarter was also a highlight. On the flip side, watching these two teams play their lousy "princeton" type offences is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Both squads shot 37% from the field. of course, T-mac and G-hill would have made it a little better game to watch. For Houstons' sake I hope they're not paying Yao Ming by the inch because he rebounded like a guy about the size of Jameer Nelson. Anyway, that's their problem. The Magic chatrooms are buzzing with speculation on players like Carlos Boozer and even K.G. becoming available. As previously mentioned, D. Miles, T. Ratliff, And an injured Nene are also out there. While this stuff is fun to speculate on, it seldom has much chance of actually happening. Even so, I call on our front office to explore any and all scenerios that could make us a better team. This is and must always be their main objective.
