Magic-Heat Preview

The Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic spent much of the summer trading verbal barbs and stoking the flames of a growing rivalry that will play a part in who will win the Eastern Conference.

They'll finally take the court in one of the most anticipated matchups of the young season for the Heat's home opener Friday night.

Miami (1-1) made by far the biggest splash of the offseason, adding LeBron James and Chris Bosh to a team already boasting Dwyane Wade. The moves garnered the Heat status as favorites to win the NBA crown.

Orlando (1-0), however, has taken exception to that notion. The Magic have established themselves among the league's elite, reaching the conference finals last spring after an NBA Finals appearance at the expense of James and Cleveland in 2009.

"We're trying to take their heads off," Magic center Dwight Howard said.

Magic president of basketball operations Otis Smith even questioned James' competitiveness for choosing to play alongside Bosh and Wade. Heat president Pat Riley called that remark "absolutely stupid," and Magic coach Stan Van Gundy then called out Riley for making moral judgments as the two intrastate foes ratcheted up the trash-talking rhetoric during the offseason.

"Orlando, that's funny that they questioned my competitiveness," James said shortly after announcing he was moving to South Beach. "I like that. The locker room - we're going to put a lot of stuff in the locker room."

The moves for superstar players and the verbal jabs appear to have elevated a rivalry that has been rather lopsided recently. Orlando has won 14 of 17, including seven of nine at American Airlines Arena.

"Our fans will be very excited," Wade said. "To have the first game at home and a good opportunity to see our team play together for once, I think it's going to be a great atmosphere. Of course, the matchup with Orlando is probably what everybody in Florida wants.

"It's good for the game, it's good for ratings and it will be good for us."

The Heat - and the Big Three - haven't enjoyed a smooth start. They opened with an 88-80 loss at Boston - the reigning East champion - on Tuesday before rebounding with a 97-87 win over Philadelphia the following night.

"We're not at our peak, we're not even close," said Wade, who had 30 points Wednesday after getting 13 against the Celtics.

James and Bosh are also trying to find a groove after combining for 31 points versus the 76ers. James has committed 17 turnovers through two games, but is averaging 34.0 points in his last five meetings against Orlando.

The Magic already had Miami on their mind while routing Washington 112-83 to christen their new arena Thursday.

"Honestly, I'm sick of listening every hour about Miami - Miami that, how great they are, how big they are, what kind of record they gonna have,"' said backup center Marcin Gortat. "I get every day interviews back in Poland, people calling me about Miami, Miami, what you think about Miami? What you think about Big Three? I'm going to say the same thing: they are a great team, they have three superstars, they got a couple good role players on the team.

"They looking good on the paper, but they got to start winning."

Howard had 23 points and 10 rebounds with three blocks against the Wizards. However, he was limited to averages of 11.5 points and 11.5 boards as the Magic and Heat split four meetings last season.

Orlando will be without reserve guard Jason Williams, who will serve a one-game suspension for making contact with an official during the season opener.

For openers, Heat roll past Magic, 96-70

MIAMI (AP) LeBron James stayed fairly quiet when the Orlando Magic questioned his competitiveness this summer.

James and his new team presented an emphatic response Friday night.

Dwyane Wade scored 26 points in Miami's home opener, James had 15 points and seven assists and the Heat scored the first 14 points of the second half to turn a close game into a surprisingly one-sided 96-70 victory over the Magic.

"They came out, they threw an uppercut, and as a team we kind of went down," Magic center Dwight Howard said.

Oh, this was a knockout, all right. The Heat had lost to Orlando 15 times in the last 20 meetings. Of course, all those were before Wade, James and Chris Bosh teamed up in Miami.

They preach defense in Miami, and this is why: The Heat held Orlando to its lowest point total since Dec. 2, 2005, and the 26-point margin matched Miami's biggest ever against the Magic. The 30.4 percent shooting effort was Orlando's worst since Nov. 3, 2003 - a span of 573 regular-season games.

"The guys now can't go back on this," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "They've shown me what we're capable of defensively and I will hold them to this standard now in terms of the effort. The effort was great."

When the Heat acquired James this summer, Magic president of basketball operations Otis Smith uttered a now-infamous-in-Miami line: "I was surprised that he went. I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor."

They competed, all right, from start to finish.

"We heard everything Orlando had to say about us in the offseason," James said. "It's not like it's satisfying. I'm not relieved, because it's a long season. But they know we're here for the long haul. We know they're going to be there also, but this is a different Miami Heat team. There's only so many words to be said. At this point, the ball has to be thrown up now."

It didn't take long for the trio to provide their first highlight: Bosh grabbed the ball at one end, passed toward midcourt to James, who took one dribble and found Wade for an alley-oop dunk to help Miami take an early 22-13 lead.

"Off to the races," Bosh said.

They were just getting started.

Howard scored all 19 of his points in the first half for Orlando, then fouled out midway through the fourth quarter. Reserve Ryan Anderson scored 12 for the Magic, who got 10 from Jameer Nelson.

Miami's starters - with no points from Joel Anthony - outscored Orlando's first five 59-37.

"Overall, I thought it was just a terrible offensive execution," said Magic forward Rashard Lewis, who was 0 for 9 from the floor.

The first half was fairly back-and-forth with eight lead changes and seven ties, neither team going up by more than nine.

That changed quickly coming out of intermission.

James hit a 3-pointer to open the second half, Wade connected on two more 3s within a 51-second span, and suddenly Miami's lead was 60-45. Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy called timeout, and that didn't change anything - James' jumper about a minute later pushed the lead to 20.

And that, mind you, was against an Orlando team that cruised to a 29-point win over Washington on Thursday night. For a team with no shortage of offensive options, the Magic were icy cold against the Heat.

"It was really exciting - I mean, really exciting," Bosh said. "The fans of Miami have been anticipating this game for a really long time, ever since July."

Vince Carter played just 13 minutes, banging his head and hip on the floor while jostling for a rebound in the second quarter and finishing with four points. Orlando's starting forwards - Lewis and former Heat starter Quentin Richardson - combined for four points and missed all 14 of their field-goal tries. J.J. Redick left for a few minutes in the first half after drawing a charge against James with the right side of his face, which was cut and puffy. Redick needed seven stitches.

Van Gundy wanted no part of the hyperbole surrounding Magic-Heat I - at least for this season - before the game, and certainly didn't want to embrace it afterward.

"Their defense was very good, but I think when the defense is good, that's when our passing problems become evident," Van Gundy said. "I thought our passing was horrendous tonight."

It was over after the third quarter, Miami's best period in all three games so far. The Heat have outscored foes 86-41 in that quarter through the season's first week. And even though the outcome was decided, Wade, James and Bosh all played some in the fourth - not to send a message, but rather to work on continuity, Spoelstra said.

"It's a good win," Spoelstra said, "but we can't get carried away."

NOTES: Wade's girlfriend, Gabrielle Union got a birthday bouquet of flowers in the fourth quarter. ... James said before the game that he doesn't see his high rate of turnovers - he had 17 in the first two games, then just three Friday - as a problem. "I'm still learning my teammates. Teammates are still learning me," he said. ... Celebrities in attendance included Marc Anthony, Chris Brown, Jon Secada and Ludacris. Clarence Clemons performed the national anthem. ... The Magic were without PG Jason Williams, suspended after making contact with an official in the final minute of Orlando's win over Washington.

Magic-Heat notebook

By Shandel Richardson, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday October 30, 2010 12:07AM

THE FACTS: The Miami Heat, behind a strong third quarter, defeated the Orlando Magic 96-70 Friday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

QUOTABLE: "When me and Chris [Bosh] decided to join him [Dwyane Wade], and even the rest of the guys, this is what we envisioned. Is it going to be a 26-point win every night? No, it's the NBA and we know that, but the fans, they came out and the least we could do is play hard for them."
-- LeBron James

THE STAT: The Magic shot just 30.4 percent from the field, including 4-for-24 on 3-pointers.

TURNING POINT: The Heat led 51-45 at halftime, but took control with a 14-0 run to start the second half. It turned into a highlight reel for Miami.

HOT: Heat forward James Jones was 3-for-5 on 3-pointers. He is 9-for-14 in the past two games.

NOT: The Magic shot 2-for-20 in the third quarter, scoring just 10 points.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Wade showed rust in the season-opener before scoring 30 against the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday. For those still doubting he's recovered from a preseason hamstring injury, he had 26 points and six rebounds against the Magic.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Among the celebs in the house were singers Jimmy Buffet, Marc Anthony and Chris Brown, and rappers Ludacris, Timbaland and PitBull.

GOOD MOVE: The commitment of coach Erik Spoelstra making this a defensive team from the start. He stressed it during the preseason and it showed Friday.

BAD MOVE: After Magic center Dwight Howard scored 19 points in the first half, he received less touches in the decisive third quarter. He had zero points in the second half.

NOTABLE: The Magic finished with just five assists. They had three in the first half and none in the third quarter. Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo had 24 assists Friday against the New York Knicks.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Sunday @ New Jersey, Tuesday vs. Minnesota, Friday @ New Orleans. For the Magic, Tuesday @ New York, Wednesday vs. Minnesota, Friday vs. New Jersey.
