Is it possible?

[HIF]

With howard likely to sit out the end of the season in Orlando is it possible that Orlando lose enough games to drop to 7th and end up playing us in the first round?

I think I'd prefer that to the Knicks.

Of course if they drop enough games to finish 7th they may drop enough to finish 8th and give us Philly again.

Without Howard, they would be a 3 point shooting team exclusively with a drive & dishing Nelson so I don't think it's a good match for our trapping defense.

One can only hope.

I don't know about Howard being out for the season, but if Orlando were to be the 7th seed, I don't know how to feel. I would like it, because we, like retards, triple team Howard for no reason, and WE SHOULD BE able to concentrate on the shooters more, but we won't.

Having no Howard means a party for LeBron and Wade in the paint. Orlando's defense would not stop the Heat without Howard.

Then the rebounding shouldn't be so lopsided. Howard is why the Heat struggle against the Magic, and the 3 point shot. We usually pick our poison but this time I mean it's just one thing to do and it's cover the shooters.

Yeah Jameer can slash but if we triple team him when he comes into the paint, then we will be in trouble. But this team has too much talent to lose to Orlando in a 7 game series against a Howardless Magic.

I'm not overly concerned about them with or without Howard. In a single game - sure. 7 game series - not so much.

@ Cleveland
vs. Philly
@ Boston
@ Utah
@ Denver
vs. Charlotte
@ Memphis

The vs. Philly and @ Denver games are the 2nd game in 2 nights.

Assuming all of those teams don't screw around (I'm looking at you Philadelphia), the Magic w/out Dwight should only win two of those games - @ Cleveland and vs. Charlotte.
