Recap: Orlando Magic 119, Detroit Pistons 89
AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack BOX SCORE In 2009 and 2010, blowouts were routine for the Orlando Magic. In 2011, less so. In 2012, it seems like the Magic have become more accustomed to getting blown out than blowing teams out. Instead of Orlando dishing out the pain, they’ve been receiving it. Which is why the …

Friday’s Magic Word
With the drama surrounding head coach Stan Van Gundy and Dwight Howard reaching a fever pitch, Hedo Turkoglu suffering facial fractures on his cheekbone (this after Carmelo Anthony inadvertently elbowed him in the face), and Ryan Anderson still recovering from a sprained ankle, nothing is going right for the Orlando Magic right now.

The Magic should choose Dwight Howard over Stan Van Gundy
Commentary
by Danny Nowell
at 11:00 amAP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack I’ve gone on the record this season saying that I thought Stan Van Gundy was a valuable part of the Orlando Magic and also, recently, that they should fire him sooner rather than later. It occurs to me that these two positions maybe don’t make sense. My thinking is as follows. …
