Quote from Coach Van Gundy after the game regarding J.J. Redick:
"I don't think there's any doubt that of the two-guards - of all our guards - he played the best."
Van Gundy was not happy with the second half played by the Magic, calling it an "embarrassing display" and "dumb approach", and also called it "a real sign of immaturity."
One week until opening night; will the Magic pick up a third point guard and did Redick do enough during the preseason to earn a spot in the Magic rotation?

I think JJ's gotta play. Sure SVG will stretch MP,HT and RS out through the SF position. But at some point JJ and keith will have to give those three a break,this works perfectly for us. AJ,JR and KB give you a nice 123 off the bench.
