I thought with last year's game, there could be a nice partnership between the Magic and the city of Jacksonville.

I guess not.

At least with Washington, we get to see an exciting young backcourt. And they added Paul Pierce a few weeks back.

Well New Orleans will bring Jacksonville-favorite Patric Young. He's been very good in the summer league and will certainly draw many locals/UF fans just to cheer him on.

Pelicans were wrecked by injuries last season; they stand to be a very good team this year. And Paul Pierce on the Wiz! This will be my first time seeing him live and in person.

True. And watching Anthony Davis in person last year. You get an appreciation of how much of a freak athlete he is and how great he can be.
