Magic Live Week 1

[Jay]

Its been a crazy couple of weeks for the Magics second GM of the season. But the GM is happy with the state of the team. The magic have crawled from a cellar dweller to challenging the Heat in the first week. Only the 1 magic player remains, Jameer Nelson, and he seems happy with the team that GM Jay is putting together with the team saying "When we start clicking this team will be scary."

Additions of Courtney Lee, Pau Gasol, Jared Dudley and Brandon Bass slotting into the starting 5 and with other new acquisitions vetereans Devin Harris, Mike Dunleavy, Kwame Brown and Ronnie Brewer to go with youngsters Byron Mullens, E'Twaun Moore and the injured Iman Shumpert this team will hav a very potent deep team.

The Magic's first game of the season is against reigning NBA champs the Miami Heat. After day 1 the contest is close. Miami had more players play and some injuries which my lineup took full advantage on. The magic hav a distinct advantage in blocks and rebounds and that will probably continue over the next 5 days. Categories that will decide the matchup are FG%, FT%, AST and 3PM. These are all closely contested categories which Miami currently lead 3-1 (Magic lead FG% by 0.002!!). Miami will be hard to beat in PTS and STL. Magic seem to hav 3 dominant categories of BLK, REBS and TO. Miami are still the favorites at this stage but the Magic GM is not putting an upset off the cards. Stand by for Day 2 of week 1 matchup.

Miami lead 5-4

Day 2 saw a close contest become even closer between Miami and Orlando despite the Heat moving out to a 6-3 lead. The 0.002 lead the Magic had from day 1 is now a 0.002 deficit.

Miami's big lead in points was cut from 44 to 23. The only two categories that seem to be won are REBs for the Magic and STLs for the Heat. Every other category at this stage is a coin flip.

Miami increased there lead on Day 2 and will probably hold that lead with only 2 players playing tomorrow from both teams.

Miami lead 6-3

Day 3 saw only 1 game played with the Heat having two players to my none. The poor shooting of his players has given me a 0.015 lead in FG% which is the only change of the scores. Tomorrow will be the only time this week that both teams hav all players. So the door is still open.

GM comment
Id like to hope that my new squad can knock off the heat. Hopefully my the guys can keep in it tomorrow and set up a close weekend.

Heat lead 5-4-0

Day 4 spelled disaster for the Magic. There FG% dropped drastically and what was a close contest all day fell to a 0.1 difference. The Heat pulled away in PTS and the standings favour the Heat by a lot.

The Magic can rally and still pull out with a win but right now that is unlikely. The Magic really need to hold on tomorrow witht the Heat playing there stars but the the Magic hav a lot of guys coming home so it could be an interesting couple of days.

Heat lead 6-2-1

Week 1 ended in a draw for this magic team. The team lost on a countback which is a major setback for a young team. The guys will bounce back and look to beat the Wizards this week.

Go Magic!!

Tie 4-4-1 (Magic lose on 2nd tiebraker )
