The Other Side: Oklahoma City Thunder

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:07:51 +0000

The Oklahoma City Thunder had the makings of a disaster at the start of last season, when it won just three of its first 32 games. But the Thunder was a second-half surprise under Coach Scott Brooks, going 20-30 the rest of the way -- including an 88-83 win over the Wizards last March -- and has continued to improve. The Thunder is already 6-6, with wins over Orlando, Miami and San Antonio and it is coming off a 108-94 loss in Orlando on Wednesday. Here's what else you need to know about the Thunder: We don't stink anymore! (AP Photo/J Pat Carter) 1. Folks in Washington already know that Kevin Durant is a budding but low-key star, but few realize that he is also in pursuit of his college degree -- so are Russell Westbrook and fellow D.C. area native Jeff Green. He ranks sixth in the NBA in

Magic Johnson would go along with LeBron James' plan to have NBA players stop wearing No. 23. James said last week he would change jersey numbers next season in honor of Michael Jordan, and said no other players should wear it, either. Critics of his plan said other players before Jordan deserved the honor at least as much, with some using Johnson and Larry Bird as examples.

Orlando Magic May Be "The Answer" for Allen Iverson

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:21:23 +0000

Allen Iverson may have found the answer he's been looking for, and it's better than he could have expected. Hours after the Memphis Grizzlies terminated Iverson's contract, Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. Nelson is not expected to return for at least a month. The backup point guards for the Magic are not exactly spring chickens, nor are they truly solid options. Jason Williams takes over as the starter on Wednesday night, his 34th birthday. Williams retired after the 2007-08 season and has just returned to action this season in Orlando. Williams' first task is Oklahoma City, who features Russell Westbrook at the point. Westbrook lit up Nelson for 17 points and 10 assists. Jason Williams will have his hands full with the speedy sophomore. Anthony Johnson, age 35, is a journeyman and perennial bench player. He is not likely to be especially effective spelling Williams. Allen Iverson may be 34 years old, but he is also a surefire Hall of ...

Jameer Nelson to Undergo Knee Surgery, Expected to Be Out Four to Six Weeks

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:40:41 +0000

So much for the Orlando Magic playing with a full squad. The "healthy" Magic lasted only one game before the injury bug struck again. Rashard Lewis returned to the Orlando lineup Monday night, after a 10-game suspension. Lewis' return was the first time the Magic starting five was intact since the NBA Finals last season. Ryan Anderson, who was filling in for Lewis, also returned against the Bobcats. He had missed the previous week due to an ankle sprain. Now comes the news that Jameer Nelson left Monday night's game in Orlando with a knee injury. An MRI revealed a torn meniscus in Nelson's left knee. On Wednesday morning, Nelson will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to repair the damage to the point guard's knee. The procedure will shelve Nelson for at least four to six weeks. After a shoulder injury last season, the Magic traded for Rafer Alston to replace Nelson. Alston was sent to New Jersey as part of the Vince Carter trade. Anthony Johnson and Jason Williams will fill in for Nelson ...

This Week in Magic (Week Three): The Return of Rashard Lewis

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:59:51 +0000

This week's column is a little late, I know. The Magic faced the Charlotte Bobcats to start this week and I forgot to preview it. Luckily for readers, the two teams matched-up last week and i gave the preview. This game, however, featured two major differences. First, for the Orlando Magic, was the return of Rashard Lewis from his 10 game suspension. Lewis tested positive for a banned substance in the offseason and was forced to sit out the first 10 games this year. Orlando has had some problems without Lewis, dropping three games. Ryan Anderson was filling in for "Shard", but went down with an ankle injury last week. Anderson also returned on Monday night. Lewis started slow, scoring only 10 points in 34 minutes of play. Anderson helped out by coring 12 in his 19 minutes for the game. The other major change came for the Bobcats. Earlier in the day, Charlotte struck a deal with the Golden State Warriors. The trade sent Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic to the Warriors in exchange for Stephen ...
