Orlando Magic fine Glen Davis for incident in motel lobby http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/blogs/magic-basketblog/os-mbb-orlando-magic-fine-glen-davis-20131113,0,662813.post

Seriously … seems to me he's being disruptive on the court, at times … sometimes it looks as if he feels he's alone there … keeps forcing shots … someone has to tell him that he's there to facilitate, create for others, not to be the top gun ...

while IMO what you're saying is mostly true, I would've expected those without the experience to be the main cause of our defeat … but it seems to me that, it was precisely he with the experience who blew it last night … Jameer … 7 TO's is unacceptable from our experienced PG and captain … if such is going to be his play, might as well and hand the position to Oladipo already …

and what about Jameer? 4 for 15FG's with 2 of 9 from beyond the arc, with 7 TO's … don't know about y'all, but IMO that's not at all the production expected from our PG and captain …

Houston fans have to, need to believe he's matured … the worst kind of blind is he who doesn't want to see … and I wonder, how long before he starts feeling sorry for himself, because Harden keeps on having, night in night out, many more touches that he does, being the goto man … meanwhile, D. Coward has to play second fiddle, sometimes even third behind Jeremy Lin or someone else ... like last night, for example, where he scored 15 points, on 5 of 10 FG attempts, 5 of 16 FT's, while Harden scored 35 on 9 of 24 attempts, and 14 out of 16 free throws, and Lin scored 16 on 5 of 8 attempts and 5 of 8 free throws … yeah he grabbed 14 rebounds, but dished only one block, and got 4 turn overs … he'll soon miss his worse nights in OTown, if he haven't done it already ...

Don't know about y'all, but I SO enjoy this: 1 2 3 4 T HOU 25 41 23 29 118 LAC 42 36 26 33 137 D. Howard 26(mins) 4-9(FG) 5-10(FT) 9(RB) 0(AST) 0(STL) 1(BLK) 2(TO) 4(PF) -24(+/-) 13(PT) J.J. Redick 28(mins) 8-15(FG) 2-7(3PM) 8-8(FT) 3(RB) 3(AST) 2(STL) 1(BLK) 0(TO) 5(PF) +25(+/-) 26(PT) Howard finished with 13 points and nine rebounds after getting roundly booed in his first game in Los Angeles since leaving the Lakers and signing with Houston.

I'm going to this game …

Should Victor Oladipo play more point guard or shooting guard this season? Should Maurice Harkless play more small forward or shooting guard? And who should get more playing time, E'Twaun Moore or Ronnie Price? Josh Cohen assesses these topics and more ... http://www.nba.com/magic/cohen-8ball-this-or-that_091713

I have to agree ...

I really believe Victor Oladipo has all it takes to pull ahead in the race for Rookie of the Year. Orlando just got brighter #ESPNForecast 5:06 PM - 14 Aug 2013 http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9561778/2013-nba-summer-forecast-rookie-year

According to ESPN's insider, Tobias Harris may have the inside-track on veteran Glen Davis as Orlando's starting power forward, at least at the start of the season.

Ric Bucher: Howard,in the final conversations before leaving for Houston, didn't specifically tell the Lakers that if coach Mike D'Antoni was fired he'd stay and the Lakers never made the offer to do so if it would convince Howard to re-up. Did Dwight have issues with his role in Mike's offense? Yes. Was he enamored with playing for Phil Jackson? Apparently. But the fact is he's headed to the Rockets, who run -- or have run -- practically the same pick-and-roll offense that D'Antoni employs and, as Jeremy Lin insinuated recently and I've observed firsthand, Kevin McHale can be as publicly ascerbic as D'Antoni or any other coach assessing a player. While there are those who insist the Lakers had the wherewithal to keep Howard, the feeling is not unanimous: some involved believe he never intended to stay. http://sulia.com/channel/basketball/f/2cd6fd07-3734-4cde-8edd-db450cbc7586/?source=twitter

Ric Bucher: Talks with various people close to the situation make it clear there were two prerequisites for Dwight Howard to remain a Laker: fire Mike D'Antoni and amnesty, or at the very least muzzle, Kobe Bryant. http://sulia.com/channel/basketball/f/d5d73e84-8523-445f-93f1-d1631a4f8b1a/?source=twitter
