On Jason Kidd's first game as a Magic, he clearly didn't dissapoint. He played a great game getting his teammates involved and scoring as well. With 1:15 left in the game, the score was 88-84 Magic. Both teams couldn't score and were missing shots until Tayshaun Prince sinks a shot just inside the 3pt line. Score 88-86 and in a Magic turn-over, the Pistons get the ball back and call a time-out. 8 seconds left, Billups takes it up the court, takes the jumpshot and as he is jumping Pat Garrity strips the ball away! Magic win!! Dwight Howard finished the game with 22pts-5rebounds and 5blks. Jason Kidd had a stellar debut finishing the night with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists earning him Player Of The Game honors.

Yea good win against the Pistons but tough loss against the Celtics, Pierce lit you guys up. But he probally had some height on Murray. Yea the Jersey switches look really good. Espesially for paint. Man, you gotta start posting on my Heat dynasty I like reading your posts
