Just back in Orlando after a trip to Naples to visit relatives for Thanksgiving. I asked my son in law who his cable provider was and he said "Comcast"... I asked him to see if the Magic,Spurs game would be televised. He went to menu and there it was .. advertised to start at 8:30 ending at 10:45. It NEVER happened! They never televised it. Seems they are setting up to have "pay per view" whatever game you want to see! So, even though they have Comcast..they have NO Magic games. These people are all about the $$$$$$$ - all of them! And, maybe just paying for cable or satellite isn't going to bring the games to us down the road...........ppv

I was standing outside about 10 o'clock this morning (Tuesday) and saw a big blue blimp floating around.....it was an advertisement for Direct TV. I'm also seeing ads in the Sentinel everyday now for Dish and Direct TV. BrightHouse is, of course, taking a million ads on t.v. for the Magic games it shows. We are thinking of keeping our internet connection with BH and cancelling the t.v. programming. I'm tired of listening to the radio!

It was saying that they carry 43 magic games and that the viewer should be excited to see those games. This was my first time seeing this ad..if they put time into making it, I dont see this being resolved anytime soon. Yes! I saw those advertisements also. Bright House saying they are carrying 43 Magic games, plus the playoffs! These advertisements aren't cheap! I'm already paying BH for the sports package and every other thing, including internet. I would change if I could. I live in a gated community and probably couldn't have a dish.

I e-mailed Brian Craven of Brighthouse. I received a "nice" reply that he would notify me when he has news and he is sure that news is coming. But he did not say when. I'm already furious that I had to watch Dallas (muted) play on t.v. while I listened to WDBO. I wonder if we are the "testers" so to speak....to see how pay per view would go over elsewhere?

Okay, I'll try anything once...so here goes! Magic: 88 Nicks: 73 JN fga: 12

Look at our best 5 men floor units: Nelson-Bogans-Hill-Battie-Howard 85.7 Win% (played only 33 min) Arroyo-Dooling-Ariza-Outlaw-Milicic 71.4 Win% (only 32 min) Nelson-Ariza-Hill-Turkoglu-Howard 66.6 Win% (only 30 min) Arroyo-Dooling-Ariza-Milicic-Howard 64.7 (only 58 min) Yet the ones with the more minutes are: Nelson-Hill-Turkoglu-Battie-Howard 47 win% (514 min) Nelson-Hill-Turkoglu-Milicic-Howard 46.4 win% (196 min) Maybe they need somebody to look at this stuff. Great Stats.....very eye-opening! We know it won't be the first or second options, right? No Bogans and no Arroyo?! Maybe they should have somebody to look at stats like this. Game time is near!

Question.... when D. Howard is not making his free throws and the game is TIGHT in final minutes, why does B.Hill leave him in to be fouled (which he definitely will be!)... I think decisions of the Coach make a big difference!! GO MAGIC

No, no...I live right here in O Town since 1988. Originally from Texas though, and I have a son who lives in Irving. Want to visit him on the 21 of April, but don't want to miss the Magic in the PLAYOFFS! OOps! This is in reply to richnba......

That's a great welcome. It is sad that we haven't been to the playoffs in such a long time. I'm waiting to see the Magic back there. We have a lot of the pieces to make it deep into the playoffs.. Maybe we even have the team and just need the experience....??? Love Ariza too! He PLAYS..

Thanx.....Yeah, I agree. It's the most special time of year in the NBA. Every game is very critical to the Magic now! Love the lineup with JJ in there. He draws a lot of deserved attention.

I'm Magic all the way! My daughter once said to me that if she were getting married, and the Magic were playing...she wondered if I would attend the wedding. That's slightly exaggerated, but makes the point. New to the site and having difficulty getting around, but it looks fabulous.

If they can continue like yesterday's game, we should be able to nail a spot! Just don't want to plan my travel without knowing for sure that I'll be able to see the Magic games in Dallas!

If (when) the Magic are in the Playoffs, will all those games be televised nationally?
