    Man, the Magic have even more of a Houston flavor that we thought:

    http://www.nba.com/magic

    "Magic Add Four Assistant Coaches
    The Orlando Magic have named Ron Ekker, <b>Chris Jent</b>, Clifford Ray and <b>Morlon Wiley</b> assistant coaches, General Manager John Weisbrod announced today. The four join assistant coach Paul Westhead on Johnny Davis’ staff."

    Jent seems to be some kind of folk hero around here.

    [​IMG] Jent was a hottie back in the day.

    Orlando should have hired Walt Williams since he actually played with Steve, Cuttino and Kelvin.

    Westphal would have been a good fit with this bunch. You can always count on fun play coming from him. Not that it neccessarily translates into a winning squad.

    Westhead is the moron that the Nugs hired after they fired Moe ( :mad: ). The coach that thought, "You know, it'd be a good idea to have the team practice in the swimming pool". Ugh.

    Westhead was the guy at Loyola Marymount when they used to score about 140 a night.

    Westhead won a title with the Lakers before Magic got him fired.

    He was the real author of "Showtime".

    Steve is going to love him.

    Paul Westhead makes Don Nelson looks like a defensive genius.
