Magical

That's crazy charging $5.00 for those magnets online!! I got two free last year and they were giving them out all over (including Chick-fil-a). I had them on my car and they fell apart due to the sun/weather/etc. I had a real hard time pealing them off the side of my car.

I do not expect many boos. It isn't like he left and then dissed the organization (TMAC) or left when the fans felt like he owed something to the organization (GHILL). Toronto was willing to pay him a lot more than the Magic. I think we are better off then having him on the books for the next 5 years. It is bad enough with Lewis' giant contract for the next 3 1/2 years.

That sucks... but I've never heard of a free parking lot downtown for Magic games. I usually park on Orange Ave. which is free after 6:00pm. Next time you should make sure you see a sign that says it is actually free.

Thanks for the quotes. What's happened to the post game quotes? I haven't seen them for the past couple home games. Did I miss them or are you no longer doing them?

Awesome! Is this replacing Midnight Magic?? I was really upset when that was no longer on this season. I missed the jump ball segment.

I never said watching it 'illegally" was right. I just said it was a way around your apparent upset over WDBO not broadcasting the games online. Plus, you have yet to convince me that the NBA is being "big brother". Didn't another poster above say that the audio league pass was free? What is wrong with listening to that?

When do they say one thing and do another? Were the games ever broadcast online from WDBO's website? Fans can find other ways of watching the game. Buy league pass, go to the game, buy DirectTV, watch it at a bar, go to a friends house, move to Orlando, watch it illegally. There are many ways of solving a problem rather then complaining about it. The NBA has a right to do what they want with their product. That is not "big brother" that is protecting their product.

I may not have been around then but I am a well educated person in business. The NBA owns its product and can control how it is distributed. They are not "controlling" your life. You can choose to purchase the NBA league pass or listen to the game by other means. You can choose to want their product or not.

Why are you calling the NBA "big brother" when they OWN the rights to the broadcasts. It is their property and they can do with it as they like. That isn't Big Brother. Plus, isn't this how it has always been?

I also think it would be great to have these videos archived on Orlandomagic.com. Many fans are at work during the day and miss the jersey unveiling or the media day interviews. I know I was at work and could not watch.

Will the video of this be posted on the magic website? I wasn't able to watch at work. I hope either the Magic website or Orlandosentinel.com add up a link to the video.

I'm sorry but petitions never work. Do you really think that a petition is what had Brian Hill fired? It was more likely the players reaction to him and the fact that the team wasn't really developing under him the way they should have.When a television show is canceled devoted fans always start petitions and it never works. The only thing that would work is if all three companies lost money because it is all a business. If Brighthouse lost thousands of customers to Directv. If there was a backlash to the Magic organization and fans stopped going to games/watching on tv (Sunsports). And FSN loses by paying so much for the magic and then not increasing their market and revenue from it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that the fans in upper bowl blue section were great. We were starting our own chants! Plus the wave was being started several times throughout the night. The fans were out of control!

This game was a sellout. A sellout as in all the seats were sold. Bianci on the Orlando Sentinel even said it was a sellout in his article. The reasons why there were so many empty seats (especially in the white $10 section) was because of the scalpers who weren't able to sell their tickets. There were a ton of listings on Ebay.
