Magic Wands: October 9, 2009

-When Olympiakos plays the LeBrons later this preseason, they might be wearing some jerseys from the fan store thanks to an international civil suit.

-One word reaction to this ad: "Nice."

-I do not know if anyone else knows about this, but tonight the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever will meet in a do-or-die Game Five in the WNBA Finals. You can watch it at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2. That is all.

-To: NetsAreScorching, From: Orlando Magic Fans. Starting Courtney Lee over Chris Douglas-Roberts is really a no-brainer. Lee is a tough, dependable scorer who deserves to be a starter on a championship team. We do not know if he can be a second or third option for you guys, but Lee will do whatever the coaches ask of him and probably succeed. We hope nothing but the best for our favorite masked player -- is he still wearing that mask by the way? Sincerely, The Curse of the Big Aristotle.

-Rave reviews for Magic man Ryan Anderson. And from HoopsWorld too.

-What about the Orlando Magic, Dave Berri of The Wages of Wins Journal.

Magic Wands: June 19, 2009

-Tim Povtak of NBA FanHouse reports the Magic will go into the luxury tax to keep Hedo Turkoglu. The good news is, it is at least a sign the team knows how close to a title it is.

-Adonal Foyle is usually all smiles. But in his final playoff diary with Henry Abbott, Foyle expresses regret that the Magic could not finish their goal.

-Rashard Lewis and Rihanna?! I thought he was married.

-40 things The Puns Are Starting To Bore Me learned in 40 nights.

-All things considered, the Sports Illustrated cover does the Magic a few favors.

-Keys to Tuesday's Game Six. Looking forward to the Game Seven preview. Why did Universal dump Back to the Future?

-The Orlando Sentinel editorial team thanks the Magic for doing so much for the community in such a difficult economic time.

-The Magic are running at 7-1 in Vegas to win the title next year, behind Los Angeles, Boston and Cleveland.

-At least Dwight Howard's puppet is in a good mood.

-Marc Stein's Winners & Losers in the NBA Playoffs.

-Want some Magic bling? Get your 24KT Eastern Conference Champion gold coins and other fun goodies.

-With the economy in the tanks, owners keeping money in their pockets and every general manager prepping for the big summer of 2010, could Hedo Turkoglu be heading overseas? Orlando certainly could take advantage of all this if Turk's options were limited to NBA teams. But adding Olympiakos to the mix, would certainly change negotiations.

-Apparently the Larry O'Brien Trophy is not worth as much as you think. Or Cash4Gold is a huge rip off.

-The big difference between the NBA & WNBA.
