DECEMBER REVIEW

The Orlando Magic recorded 5 wins this month including a huge 130 to 97 win over GS and Anthony Davis.
Last month of the year started with a win over the Grizzlies which was good,but there was some bad stuff.Magic's top scorer Arron Afflalo has broken his arm and he was supposed to be sidelined for about 7 weeks.
Jameer Nelson led the Magic to their 4 other wins.He had some nice games,dropping 30 in a loss against the Bobcats.

Orlando are staying last in the Power Rankings and the Eastern Conference both with just 9 wins and 26 losses.

i decided to go all the way and simulate this season. I'm selling my ps3 these days and i want to do the next offseason.

So,wait for the next post : Season Recap

[maksie]

Last in East,looking for the top pick




First season without Dwight Howard,as everyone expected the Magic were almost losing everything.Finishing at last place in the Eastern Conference with just 25 wins is bad.
But we know it was a rebuilding year for Orlando,they signed Alonzo Gee and Arron Afflalo who were at most times the best players in the team led by veteran point guard Jameer Nelson.Big Baby Glen Davis was traded to the Wolves in exchange of Brad Miller(more important was the 1st round draft pick).
Jameer Nelson led the team in points with 13.8 per game.Four players finished with 10 or more points per game for Orlando - Nelson,Gee,Afflalo,Vucevic.
Rookie Perry Jones was selected in the All-Rookie second team.He average 8.9ppg alongside with 6.5 boards per game.Including a stunning 29 point,14 rebounds performance against the Hornets in February.
