Orlando Magic News for October 26th: Another Positive Magic Prediction, Plus More Vince Carter / Hedo Turkoglu Fallout
Third Quarter Collapse —
... downing teams by an average of nearly 18 points per game. Just saying.
The team shot 41.6 from behind the arc, Dwight Howard had room enough to shoot 62 percent from the field ... but, sure, they'll miss Hedo Turkoglu's "spacing."
Just for fun, here's his note on the New Jersey Nets:
Rafer Alston shot 25.6 percent from the floor, and previews still list him under the "Key Losses" tag for the Orlando Magic.

Orlando Magic News & Notes: Magic Start 3-0
Howard the Dunk | An Orlando Magic Blog —
barnesoverboshnov1 Brian Schmitz discusses how a conversation with his former college coach, Mike Krzyzewski, helped J.J. have a big day Sunday in Toronto. Redick has been betrayed by his trademark jumper for three-plus years. He played like he did in college, hitting five of the Magic’s 17 3-pointers (in 32 attempts) to shock the Raptors.“Coach K called me after the New Jersey game and said, ‘You’re real close. It’s right there. You’re going to have one of your good games,’” Redick said, adding, “I didn’t know it would be this soon.” Redick also played just over 44 minutes, easily a career high. “Obviously, it will be different when Vince comes back,” ...

... Conference Player of the Week.
The Denver Post's Anthony Cotton has an interesting story on what's become of former Nugget Allen Iverson's career.

And ESPN.com's Marc Stein is ranking the Nuggets fourth in his weekly Power Rankings.

Blazers Blog —
Week One NBA Power Rankings By Sean Meagher, OregonLive.com November 02, 2009, 2:31PM An up-and-down 2-2 start has the Blazers sitting near the middle of the pack after the first six days. Marc Stein, ESPN.com, has Portland at No. 9: Opening Night '08 was way worse, when the Lakers humbled Portland on national TV and Oden went down. But this start has been no treat: Roy's shot is off, Aldridge has a bruised knee and Andre Miller isn't helping much. John Schumann, NBA.com, has the Blazers at No. 12: After giving up 111 points to Houston in a slow-paced game Saturday, the Blazers showed some defensive improvement Sunday. Or the ...

Chad Ford on the Class of 2006 and extensions: ”Rajon Rondo pocketed $55 million over five years. Thabo Sefolosha landed a four-year, $14 million deal. And Renaldo Balkman inked a three-year, $6 million contract. That still means that the first round draft class of 2006 had a record low number of players earn extensions. The previous low was the class of 2005. It had seven players get extensions. In contrast, the class of 2002 had 16 players agree to extensions.”
Interesting little story about Russell Westbrook: ”Last season ...
