The Magic begin their preseason tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mike Miller will be facing his old team for the first time without Tracy McGrady. The Drew Gooden and Gordan Giricek trade doesn't look like such a great trade now. Anyhow, reports list the starts as Steve Francis at point, Cuttino Mobley at shooting guard, Grant Hill @ESPN" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=2626" target="_blank">Grant Hill at small forward, Dwight Howard @ESPN" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3818" target="_blank">Dwight Howard at power forward and Kelvin Cato at center. I figured they would probably start with this lineup and see where it goes. I would expect big minutes for Howard and Jameer Nelson @ESPN" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3837" target="_blank">Jameer Nelson. The Magic need to get these two right into the flow as I think they can contribute big this year.
Both teams can run the ball well, so look for an exciting and up tempo style of play tonight (with lots of turnovers). See you at the game. (Game is not televised).
