With 1,600,390 votes, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is this year’s leading vote-getter in the 2012 NBA All-Star Balloting program, the NBA announced today.
The Magic haven’t played well at all in the past four games. But, lucky for them they got a plate of home cooking against the worst team in the league the Washington Wizards, Wednesday night.
So, it finally happened. No, the Orlando Magic didn’t trade Dwight Howard yet (despite his best efforts), but they did finally win a game after their horrendous four-game losing skid. The Magic managed to overcome the woeful Washington Wizards despite some late scares, 109-103.
Andre Iguodala’s 14 points and 11 rebounds led the Philadelphia 76ers to a 74-69 win over the visiting Orlando Magic Monday night.
Danny Granger’s 24 points propelled the visiting Indiana Pacers to an easy 106-85 victory over the Orlando Magic Sunday evening.
It’s been two months since the Orlando Magic General Manager Otis Smith removed Dwight Howard off the trading block in hopes of keeping his All-Star center long term.
One night after the Magic blew a 27 point home lead against the Celtics, Orlando still felt the after effect.
If the Boston Celtics meet up with the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference playoffs they should bench Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, seems to work for them.
This season hasn’t been easy on Dwight Howard, with the trade talks and shots he’s taken via the media for being “selfish.” However Howard continues to remind us why he is so important to the Magic.
With excitement building as the NBA All-Star in Orlando nears, fans will have a chance to attend a variety of events in Central Florida from February 23-26. Beginning Wednesday, tickets for fan events including the Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, NBA All-Star Practice, NBA Rising Stars Challenge and NBA All-Star Jam Session will begin to go on sale.
