A few nights ago, the Orlando Magic somehow managed to blow a big lead to lose to the worst team in the NBA. On Thursday night, they visited the best team in the league and found a way to come out with a victory. Such have been the ups and downs of a roller coaster season for the Magic and Dwight Howard, who continues to face questions about what may happen by the trade deadline. Against Derrick Rose and the Bulls, the Magic
Thursday’s best game: Orlando at Chicago
Dwight Howard just wants to win, according to him. It remains to be seen if he stays in Orlando, but games like the Magic’s previous outing won’t be very convincing for the best center in the NBA. With the trade deadline approaching, Howard and the Magic suffered their worst loss of the season when they allowed Charlotte — the worst team in the league — to turn a 20-point deficit into a 100-84 win. The Magic (25-15) now have the daunting task
The Bernucca List – Edition 15
Edition 14 of The Bernucca List was first answered correctly by Doug, whose response was “active players who have led the league in personal fouls.” This week’s list can be found below. The idea is to figure out the common denominators among each player on the list. First correct answer gets a pop in next week’s list.

Lakers, Clippers experiencing bad trips; Rose beats the buzzer
There’s some sort of event called the Pac-12 Conference tournament being held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I think it has to do with college basketball. Anyway, it has forced the facility’s regular tenants – the Lakers and Clippers – to hit the road for a stretch. And things are not going well for either team. The Lakers were dispatched on a brief three-game sojourn and already have lost the first two, dropping to an abysmal 6-14 on the road.
Game of the night: Boston at Philadelphia
The Philadelphia 76ers have had the Atlantic Division lead for much of the season and looked ready to run away with it by taking advantage of an easy early schedule. Since then, they have taken a tumble, and the Boston Celtics may be ready to reclaim the throne as the best team in the division, which has been the case since the arrival of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett in the 2007-2008 season. The streaking Celtics (20-17) visit the reeling 76ers (22-17)
Biyombo outplays Howard as Magic lose to lowly Bobcats
If you are Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos, what are you thinking as you wake up this morning? For one thing, you’ve got to be grateful to be walking the earth for another day, still having your wits about you. But on the other hand, your team just had its most embarrassing loss of the season, your coach sounds apoplectic, your superstar’s intentions are unclear, and there is no way in hell you can convince yourself that your team is capable of
Game of the night: New York at Dallas
Since the All-Star break, the New York Knicks have played two games in the span of eight days. The extra time off and subsequent practice time for the revamped roster hopefully will be a benefit as they visit the weary Dallas Mavericks in Tuesday’s best NBA game. The Mavericks (22-17) are coming off a controversial loss Monday night at Oklahoma City. Playing their fourth game in five nights will present a challenge as they are just 3-3 at home against Eastern
Thunder uses D to beat Big D; Love manhandles Clippers; Bulls bomb Pacers
As dominant as the Oklahoma City Thunder have been this season, they seem to get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to late controversial calls. The Thunder trailed by a point with 46 seconds remaining Tuesday night when Dallas center Ian Mahinmi appeared to cleanly block Serge Ibaka’s shot, but the whistle was blown for a foul, much to the dismay of Mahinmi and Rick Carlisle. Ibaka made both free throw attempts and the Thunder never looked back as they
