7:16 pm
the wizards not only have not scored, they haven't taken a shot yet, and that's not good with almost 2 minutes played in the quarter. >> not good at all. >> ones to watch tonight, keeping an eye on haywood who normally plays pretty good. >> 8.15 rebounds. you know, you look at what they do, brendan 8 points above his average, 5 rebounds above his average. >> washington careless with the ball, giving up an offensive rebound here, to dwight howard. all of his 6 points coming from washington, washington with four turnovers, flip with a quick time out hope three trying to settle will these guys down.
7:17 pm
>> all six in the paint for orlando, 4 of 8 from the field. 2 minutes gone by, quarter number 1, haywood inside. he is called for traveling. tony brothers was getting ready to call goaltending but derek richardson had the traveling call on haywood. he caught the ball and moved those feet. >> that's what saunders is saying, dwight hand checked and forced him to take that extra step. >> this washington turnover, with just over 2 minutes played here -- here is vince carter inside. vince carter coming to this team from new jersey with ryan anderson forraphyer alston, tony battie, courtney lee back in june. mike miller had it taken away, that's the sixth washington turnover. >> still looking for that first
7:18 pm
field goal attempt. they turned the ball over every time. >> 6 turnovers have led to 10 orlando points. inauspicious beginning for washington. look to go snap a two-game losing streak. butler, who didn't play the other night, that's the first shot attempt. nice pass by jameer nelson and the easy layup. here is randy foye who lost the handle goin' up and gets it back. >> almost double dribble. >> foye's jumper is good, so the first field goal comes with 86:00 to play in the first quarter. i think -- >> something like that you can't -- >> i don't think he controlled it when he went up with it. the official recorded that as a bump or a tip, even you're the
7:19 pm
one who did it. >> yeah. haywood, nice move on howard, but he couldn't get the shot control back on. >> to me this is a situation where you can, if you know what your money play is, what your go-to guy is, this is the time when you have time to work that, operate that play, whatever it is, with whoever it is. >> carter off the front rim. roommate in college, antawn jamison there for the rebound. here is foye again for the open look and that's a little strong. randy fighting for the loose ball but picked up by rashard lewis. howard bothered by haywood, now tries the lane for the left hook, not there. a loose ball foul will be called on mat barnes who has been extremely active here
7:20 pm
early. your keys. >> randy foye, his numbers the last couple of games, he has failed to get to the free throw line on five occasions in the last 6 games. three-point differential, they can't have that kind of large differential with this team being the number 1 in attempts and in makes, they have average better than 10 per game, washington, the magic have a great balanced attack, both in scoring and in three-point shooting, so they spread the ball around well. and they have been come one of the top defensive teams. last season they were in the lower third in a lot of defensive categories but not the case this year and they are off to a tremendous start. washington a little sluggish, unlike the pregame ritual that you saw from them, it hasn't transferred into the game. there the spin move from jameer nelson able to get to the rim. seems like dwight howard is pulling brendan haywood away
7:21 pm
from the basket so there is no other line of defense. >> nelson good free throw shooter, sixth season with orlando, denver actually took him back and traded to the magic for a first round pick and he averaged career high numbers last year but remember he got hurt just before the all- star game. >> he had a shoulder injury that kept him out until the playoffs actually. >> and he is, he injured his knee here again against detroit, able to play. coming off a game against milwaukee on tuesday. in for the big man as butler picks it off. so many great things here in orlando, mike miller, including being named rookie have the year in 2001. >> outstanding start to his career, played two more years after that and went on to
7:22 pm
memphis. >> carter open for the jumper. good. vince carter in his 12th year from the university of north carolina. playing the last four plus seasons with new jersey after his first six plus in toronto. 5:50 to go, quarter number 1. miller between base line. fires out for foye. nice pass underneath, washington unable to get it up and a shot clock violation, so that will be turnover number 7 for the wizards. >> oh, wow. and it's a combination of, yes, this is a very good defensive team, they have a lot of confidence and they have been really on target over the last nine games. but washington really has not gotten into any kind of confidence or any kind of consistency on the offensive side. >> carter inside, he is fouled,
7:23 pm
meantime this orlando team has scored 14 of their 17 points in the paint in this game. a lot of it in the transitions after the wizards turn it over. >> yeah. >> there is stan van gundy who, back in 2003, took over the miami heat from pat riley, coached the squad for a couple of seasons until o'reilly came back. he was with the miami organization for a total of 12 years. carter's first free throw is good. they recreational 0th in the nba, that's last, in free throw shooting. a lot of that is due to dwight howard who shoots just under 60%. ß and carter gets them both. he is averaging 15 1/2 points a game, having a pretty good
7:24 pm
season. >> brendan takes one dribble and goes to the back. dwight howard chippy underneath. >> howard backs haywood away and then slams it in left- handed. can howard is giving you 18 points a game, over 1 rebounds. >> number 1 in blocks and rebounds. >> time to shoot. nice pass for haywood who couldn't handle the basketball and washington commits its eighth turnover. 0000000000000000000000---------- here in orlando, the magic have won three in a row over the wizards, washington's last win coming march 19th. the season before last, howard again that's eh good and eh
7:25 pm
good the rebound. last year orlando swept the four-game series for the first time since '03-'04, and a foul after washington commits another turnover. packages in the vw penalty house are 10 # bucks. call 261 50:50 to purchase your three-point play back now. time out with 4:15, that personal foul on randy foye so looks like we'll be g whe b orl d thhy eeare loshars. mom mov wirt natiomple vigand klook pisirstsmtp
7:27 pm
it will be a good catch for us, they are a unique team, they have the diamond defenceman in the league, dwight howard, they have a diamond rebounder, they shoot a lot of threes so you got to be watching the perimeter, now with jameer nelson and vince carter you have guys that can beat you on the floor. >> they can beat you with howard inside or someone gets hot outside, vince carter, rashard lewis a great shooter. >> surrounding this guy so dominant inside with a great perimeter game, see if they have six guys that have made 35 or more three-pointers so they can really spread you out and
7:28 pm
force you to have that isolation inside. >> i understand flip saunders received a technical foul which was shot and missed just now. a bit frustrated like everybody else. the team off to a very, very slow start here tonight. jameer nelson scores off the three for the wide open jumper. magic have held each of their last 9 points under 10 # points, nine straight, that's the longest streak in the league. and a foul called by derek richardson who is working the game with betty adams and tony brothers. >> but i still say that right now washington hasn't really done anything to make them work defensively hard. i mean they have been very careless with the basketball and that's led to those opportunities and you know they are making half of their shots and washington is giving them
7:29 pm
every attempt. >> earl boykins is in. butler driving underneath, a block by howard, able to get it back. 3 seconds, boykin, the running shot good if it goes, no good. and coming in for the rebound. 3 1/2 to play in this quarter and the wizards have committed 9 turnovers in the game which so far have led to 14 points, the magic just got their second. here is butler. >> taken away by howard. mike miller tried to take a charge, howard just dismissed him and also smacked him in the face. and got the two points.
7:30 pm
andray blatche off the washington bench. @@@@@@@@@@@@c strong, haywood tipped it. howard knocks it to lewis. 25-7 orlando and an offensive foul is called on dwight howard. one on howard. >> antawn jamison is the team's leading scorer, to this point he has only taken one attempt and i think that's what i'm getting at is you know you're struggling offensively, go to your money place, try to execute something you're all familiar with, get the ball in the hands of somebody that is pretty persistent in scoring. >> brendan hayward gets a rest. haywood with three rebounds, a personal foul, and andray blatche is in. bill buckhantz and phil chenier in our broadcast center. jameer nelson with a three- point shot.
7:31 pm
assists. magic by 21. miller drives inside and scores, pretty play, howard had to leave it alone. barnes the other way, flips it out for rashard lewis on the base line. miller good job to keep it alive, good hustle. >> yeah. >> phil: yeah, both of them went after the ball, van gundy may be getting a technical. >> bill: i'm not sure what the call is. derek richardson is brick bringing the ball back to the sideline in front of the magic bench. >> phil: well watch how quickly mike miller reacts, he just gets to the ball and there is contact there but i mean you got two guys goin' for the ball
7:32 pm
and i think that was a good no- call. you saw van gundy get up off the bench and the official turned and said something, blew the whistle and stopped play. >> bill: stopped play. tony brothers is the crew chief. >> inadvertent whistle. >> it is being called an inadvertent whistle so the wizards will get the ball on the side. as they say, no harm, no foul. here is miller to boykins, randy foye taking a rest. he has got two personal fouls. but boykins takes the base line jumper, no good, jamison keeps it alive. antawn inside, blocked by
7:33 pm
howard. now jamison starting howard, blatche knocked it away and nelson is called for a foul on boykins. andray blatche came down and really whacked howard on the wrist with no call. >> phil: yeah, and he is saying that to the official right now. let's see if we can pick it up. from behind. jameer nelson gets off on a foul with boykin. >> bill: j.j. redick and jason williams in the game for orlando. blatche short but before the shot went up a foul was called on reddick for holding and the wizards get the ball and now there is a penalty situation, washington will shoot with 1:03 to play in the quarter. >> phil: that's when he has to have that recognition.
7:34 pm
because he was in trouble even without him getting the ball. >> first free throw good for mike miller, university of florida. magic drafted him fifth over all back in 2000 after playing two years at the university of florida. played three years here, traded to memphis for drew gooden and you are a check, played six years in memphis, then went to minnesota. and then ernie bringing him to washington with randy foye, and -- >> phil: beautiful move. >> bill: that was nice. >> phil: he is so strong and very difficult to deny for a long period of time he has got 10 points and six rebounds. blatche's jumper there no good. butler battling but lewis comes
7:35 pm
down with it and he traveled. 30-11 orlando. magic with their second 50 win season last year, they won 59, went to the finals, losing to the lakers four games to one. miller lives, the running shot, that's a goaltend on howard. i don't know if it would have gone but it's moot. >> phil: clearly coming down. he has one of his teammates, i couldn't tell if it was reddick or williams, that kind of caught him down low. he was in an awkward position. > >> bill: williams drives on
7:36 pm
blatche, and williams good. in his 11th year also from the university of florida, at the buzzer, that is short and the first quarter comes to an end, a quarter that saw washington commit 6 turnovers and finish with 10 for the period. the magic doing a nice job shooting and converting, 58% from the field. dwight howard with 10 points, 6 rebounds. his presence is felt here tonight so far. the wizards will look to come back with a better second quarter in orlando. they trail 32-13 after one.
7:38 pm
>> bill: from the city of orlando, comcast sportsnet coverage of wizards basketball being brought to you by chevy chase nissan. your lifetime nissan dealer. first trip for orlando for the wizards who will be back here april 7th, and they'll also play the magic in washington on march 1th 13th, the magic off to a very, very quick start as the wizards commit 10 turnovers leading with to 16 orlando points. >> phil: so many of them leading to fast break opportunities, so the magic with 10 fast break points,
7:39 pm
largely on the mishandling the ball, they just couldn't handle the pass so it kept going. >> nice rebound by andray blatche who came in for brendan haywood the latter part of that where. nick young starts the period for washington along with dominic mcgwire. boykins, blatche and jamison. here is jk reddick down low, big man stays in the game, howard with 10 points already. reddick's jumper no good, dom nick mcgwire hits the glass. ryan anderson is in for orlando, along with mickael pietrus. boykins for blatche, lays it off the glass, no good. you can see, phil, he turned his back probably to try to avoid dwight howard. >> well, trying to shield dwight howard and keep him from really getting a full extension to block the shot, and ultimately, missed the layup. >> you can see a red dick scores inside and in his fourth
7:40 pm
year, the magic picked him 11 tv back in 2006. sixth all-time leading scorer, boykins turns the corner, high off the grass, that's rejected by howard. >> phil: his third block already. >> bill: the magic shoots 58% in that first quarter. >> phil: just not pretty. washington had to call their time out. first time out within the first two minutes. >> bill: blatche against howard, spins on him, he is fouled inside logsing the ball. it's on dwight howard and that will be his second personal. and at all times when you play this team what you have to hope for is that he picks autopsy couple of quick fouls. >> yeah. and then you try to move him around, force him to be active on the pick and roll and make some good decisions, here he just gets caught reaching ands
7:41 pm
it actually adonal dri's shot. he will come out now. >> this team is so deep and they bring in marcin gortat who had such a great playoff series. >> yeah, yeah, a great back up for them, great with his teams and teammates, he was signed by dallas to an offer sheet, but they wanted to keep him so they matched that offer. >> gortat in his third year. he is from poland. here is reddick, around nick young, they'll call a foul on young before reddick got the shot up. that's the first on nick, it will be magic ball on the side. the magic beat the bucs tuesday 99-92 here. their fourth straight win, they won 7 of 8. their only loss in that stretch was at memphis, 99- 94. prior to this stretch, though, they had 7 of 9, so they have been a little bit up and down,
7:42 pm
but starting to find a rhythm the last four games. >> well, going back to what you said about how deep this team is, they have a slew of guys that can play multiple positions, they have got at least eight guys that are averaging over 20 minutes so, again, they move if yous in and out of that lineup. a guy that played well against us back in washington, brandon bass, is averaging only about 13, 14 minutes, and he is like final or 10th on the chart. >> bill: hard to be but he is a good player. meantime flip saunders doin' whatever he can do to try to get some stimulation in this squad. brings javale mcgee in the game as dick young misses the shot. that previous foul was called on jason williams. reddick for pietrus inside, blocked by come nick mcgwire out of bounds.
7:43 pm
>> pietrus caught that ball goin' for the jam. the come-from-behind to get the block. this just looks like maybe -- >> bill: reddick jumper is good. not only was he the all-time leading score, the acc leading scorer, 16th all-time in the ncaa, averages about 20 points a game in college. boykins for mcgwire who drives. now javale mcgee takes a jumper and misses everything. pietrus into the air and looked like blatche might have got it but they'll give it to washington. flip saunders wanted a travel
7:44 pm

quote
7:52 pm
>> phil: doesn't even look, just knows it is there, delivers the pass right on que. >> bill: boy, he nearly traveled. now gets the screen from gortat. comes up short. anderson with a nice position to get the rebound but he couldn't finish. and now foye will set it up, caron butler back in, with blatche, mcgwire, and mcgee. 5:45 to play first half. down by 16, trailed by as many as 21. blatche again from. mickael
7:53 pm
pietrus squares up and a nice rebound by blatche. butler driving inside, reverse layup, a beauty. and that cuts the lead to 14. mini used storage run, 10-5 washington over the last 10 minutes and 5 seconds. base line jumper no good. blatche one-on-one with anderson. got shoved, his shot short, pulled out by but learn. nice save by mcgwire but nobody to throw it to. and that is an offensive foul, so washington will get it back again, with a chance to cut it to 12 or perhaps 11.
7:54 pm
>> phil: good chance to take advantage of a little careless play on the part of the magic. they have some good numbers there, brian anderson just tries to make something that is not there, gets called for the charge. >> bill: verizon wireless, you make the call. >> phil: by the magic. >> bill: dwight howard is back in with 10 points and 7 rebounds. playing with two perms. blatche looking to cross the lane. 7 to shoot. mcgwire to carter, left-handed, no good. anne indication of why this team is so tough defensively, they battle you physically, force you to take bad shots. >> >> phil: yeah. make it very difficult for you to drive but even when you do you know you're driving right in there to the league's number
7:55 pm
1 shot blocker. >> bill: into the teeth of the storm so to speak. and a foul called down low on washington, on gentleman veil ma be. antawn jamison coming back in tow the lineup for the wizards, he'll get andray blatche. jamison has yet to score, in fact he has missed all five of his jumpers and he has got two rebounds in the game. mike miller leads the wizards with nine points, blatche has six off the bench. ooh, he traveled. carter drives and he is fouled on the slam. if you see that from the beginning and take a look at his footwork. >> phil: i got him. >> bill: yeah, i think he picked up the two before he dribbled. >> phil: it happened. >> bill: absolutely. absolutely. his left foot was the pivot foot, it's not called as often
7:56 pm
on guards as it is on big men who shuffle their feet but the play, to be gyp with, is inconsistently called. >> phil: called for the play and he got it. >> bill: he did, thanks to our guys in the truck, david due value, our comcast sportsnet crew. the wizards will come back into town, and we don't know whether it will be tonight or tomorrow, they'll try to get back in there because they have got a game tomorrow night against atlanta and that game is still scheduled to be played. so if would he have teams can get into this dc and we've got referees we'll play the game. ready if they need me. >> phil: i don't know. >> bill: mcgwire the open look. just missed it. howard the rebound after jamison had the inside position. 10 rebounds and some points, he has already got a double double, dwight howard foye
7:57 pm
avoids contact by carter but misses the shot. under 3 minutes to go in the half. here is dwight howard. back to howard. rashard lewis yanks one up and hits a three. phil phil you can step out and knock down the outside shot, he has a pretty good post-up game too, so when you start dropping it in and giving help to dwight howard, you are going to leave some of those perimeter shooter available. >> bill: led the nba last year in both three-pointers made and attempted, made 220 of them last year. nice follow slam by mcgee. @@ well the young man off the bench in his second year, two of three from the field. has marine. alley-oop coming for howard.
7:58 pm
oh, perfect pass that was. mómó >> phil: right on the money. they didn't realize it was coming until it was way too late. >> bill: the lead back up to 19, so the wizards got as close as 12. foye's jumper is a little short. jamison pokes it away and it's orlando basketball. 1:42 to play in the first half. how do you keep superman down? you can tug on his cape but, in this case, it doesn't matter. dwight howard scores again.
7:59 pm
