The Orlando Magic aren't ready to let go of their season, and that is directly affecting the Miami Heat.With time running out on their fourth straight non-playoff campaign, the Magic will try to hinder the Heat in their push for a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference when they go for a sweep of a home-and-home set on Sunday night in Miami.

"We're not giving up. That's for sure," Jason Smith said. "We're not folding this season. We're continuing to play hard, play hard every night, and really go out and finish this season with a bang."

Happy to see Mario get the start. Continue to play hard and build on good habits. Lastly, **** the Heat.

This should be an interesting game. Heat need a victory for playoff positioning and Magic seem intent on letting some bench players get minutes. Should be entertaining game.

Damn look at this starting lineup. What is this the world versus USA? This team is too diversified for this game. We don't have Tim Duncan and Greg Popovhich around here to stabilize this typ of roster.

Has he not been in contract mode at any point his year? It's so obvious except to a few posters that continuously defend him.

If Hezonja messed up as many times as Ilyasova has in this 6 minute timespan, he'd be benched for the next 3 months.

So Mario plays better as a starter than bench player. Wish someone else would notice.
