First of all, I apologized for my lack of posting this year. It's been a busy year in the Magic Fan household. But I assure you, we've kept tabs on the season and have watched every game that BrightHouse has allowed us to watch. So, my first post back starts appropriately with each and every one of you. How do you feel the Magic have done so far this year? Is the team's record a good measurement how good this team is? Click to read my thoughts on the year and to post your comments.

The Magic did their best Boston Celtic impersonation and handled the Lakers down the stretch. It's been a long time since I felt confident in the Magic playing against LA. After the earlier meeting between the two teams, I felt as if there was no way we could lose this game. In all honesty, I'm way more concerned about Boston than any other team. I feel like if we can get to and past them in the Eastern playoffs, the Magic can beat anyone in a 7 game series in the West. I thought the Magic did a decent job throughout the game, although there were times when I was wondering if it was going to happen tonight.
