Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are a team on the rise. The Magic have, in the past, relied solely on Tracy Mcgrady to carry the team on his shoulders. With the recent aquisition of Juwan Howard the wieght on t-mac's shoulders has been somewhat lifted. The improved play of last season's rookies, Drew Gooden and Gordan Giricek has been a big help to the magic and this year they expect to get the same type of contribution from first round draft pick Reece Gaines. Look for the magic to go deep in the playoffs this year in the East.
