- On road
- Against a team rested more than us
- A double digit victory by the Magic
- A team who scored 100+ in last 3 games was held to 92
- Shard + Hedo 25 points each.
- Dwight double/double
- A team who if playoffs would start tomorrow would be the 7th seed-
- We shot 52+% from the field
- Our bread and butter, 3 pointers, was not what won us the game.
- We shot the 3 ball at a rate of 29.4%
- We had less TOs than our opponent
- We had 11 more rebounds (factoring in team rebs) than them

All of these give you good reason to be "less than optimistic"?

THe Magic line is -2. If I was a betting sort, I would favor the Magic with the points. I expect a very strong game from the Magic front court. Another Mr. 4th quarter effort. And solid bench work. Added to an average game from the 1 and a sub-average game from the 2, this could be another 10+ point win!

will be a pretty decent game, I think Orlando will be up for the majority of the game just like the last time, only this time Dalembert will have a good game, probably 17/11/2 this based off the law of averages and how quite he has been...

Louis Williams will eat us up as usual and Iggy will have his points...

I smell a letdown.

Hope I'm wrong.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

I'm with you craig, I am expecting a loss knowing the history of this team, but it would be extremely huge if we can get out with a win. 16 games over .500 looks pretty good, especially with a much favorable schedule left.

We had a 3-quarter letdown last night, so I'd be pissed if we had a letdown game tonight.
Plus, we all know it will come Saturday at home vs. the Knicks. :(

10 games is a lot of games...not impossible...but we'd need to be on top of our game defensively the whole way through...
