Attention is great but...

Magic fans: that hexing feeling you feel is not your imagination. Someone is actually placing a curse on Orlando.

That someone? Sports Illustrated.

The pre-eminent sports magazine's NBA preview is coming out and so are its notoriously cursed teams. Dwight Howard (curiously wearing a sleeve, that is what I get for not being in Orlando) is featured on one of the regional covers.

Howard is putting up monster numbers in the preseason. It is nice that Orlando is getting some love (everyone on ESPN picked the Magic to finish first in the Southeast Division and fourth in the conference), but everyone is also mentioning the team's injury fortunes last year.

The SI curse is the last thing the team needs. Enjoy the publicity while it lasts.
