Erin Moves On To Finals!/Gortat Signs(?)/Pick The Best Magic Cheerleader: SEMIFINALS, Part 2: Jane vs. Kristina


The one day playoff paid off as Erin had a decisive day 2 win and moves on to the Orlando Magic Cheerleading Tournament Championship! Huzzah! She will face either Jane or Kristina to determine who the world proclaims as the top Orlando Magic Cheerleader.

We'll get back to this in a second, but for now let us address a few things in the NBA:
First of all, word is that Marcin Gortat has finally signed with the Magic. This is yet to be confirmed by the Orlando Sentinel, but is in a few overseas publications with quotes from Gortat about how happy he was to sign. There are already several people doing humorous mock-ups of Gortat, since European big men are a nonstop source of entertainment (When Darko came into the league, it was like a national holiday of funny internet images and references to 'frosted tips'). My personal favorite was a Borat-inspired image posted by "TheDarkSide" on the Orlando Magic website forum:



I can already tell that this is going to be a fun ride with him on our team.

In other news, Penny Hardaway joined the Miami Heat yesterday, teaming up with Shaq once again. My opinion on Penny Hardaway has never waivered since he left our team: I can't stand him. Once my favorite player on the Magic, I felt like Otis Smith at a Donovan conference the day he left our team because I had so many knife marks in my back. Penny demanded out of our franchise during the Brian Hill era, talked crap about the Magic, and left a heap of fans' hopes dashed in his wake. I was more than happy when we received the rights to Penny's contract recently and waived him to show how far our team had come since he besmirched it years ago.

Now Penny has joined the team that has emerged as our arch rivals, AND he is teaming up with Shaq for an all-Magic screwing team of sorts. The difference between the two is that Shaq has at least has said wonderful things about the Orlando community and plans to retire here. There is a reason Scott Skiles had an appreciation day at an Orlando game before Penny.

Enough sour grapes though. It's Friday! That means the Orlando Magic Cheerleading Tournament continues on! This matchup is between Jane and Kristina to see who will face Erin in the Championship. Remember to click on the images below for more photos!

Special Note: Next week this site will be having an all-week long vote to determine the Champion of the Orlando Magic Cheerleading Tournament. The vote will appear on the bottom of each day's entry, and votes will be tallied and the winner will be announced on Friday.

For now, we have to see who will be in that competition. Who Do You Prefer? Jane or Kristina?
