Game thread for "NBA Friday" game with Atlanta Hawks visiting the Orlando Magic on October 23, 2009.

This is a tough one for me ... I want both these teams to lose horribly!

[Bahku]

Anderson looks to be a great add to Orlando ... nice moves on the base-line. (14 points in 7 minutes!)

Once he gets his defense up to par, Ryan Anderson is going to be a very good player.

He has the offense and the rebounding already. Potentially, a better version of Keith Van Horn. A star quality player.

Yeah ... I'm impressed already ... hope he stays healthy ... he'll be a force.

I said last year that I thought he and Lopez would be the Nets' bigs for the next 12 years.  I couldn't believe he was included in the Carter trade.  Rod Thorn is a lousy GM.

Jason Williams is trying way too hard to get the "bad boy" image ... and there's just something wrong with that picture.

Truly ... talk about "icing on the cake"! He could easily end up being more of a weapon than Carter.

Yeah, I can't believe that Orlando would pull out of the Vince Carter trade over Anderson/Lee. I think Thorn could have held out and kept Anderson + acquire Lee.

On Lee, I think he's going to breakout offensively. A 16-18ppg type of scorer. That on top of the defensive impact will be a very nice package.

Ouch! The Hawks are hurting here so far ... no positive energy whatsoever.
