    Prediction

    - 98
    - 99

    Magic's slump has to end some time, so I have a hunch that it'll be a close one tonight, but we'll fall short.

      We got no chance. Carter is gonna get back to normal and own us. Howard is gonna be pissed after Hibbert manhandeled him. BIG LOSS

        The Magic are coming off a tough loss to the Pacers last night. So I expect the Magic to come back strong against the Dinos. D12 didn't play heavy mins so he should be relatively fresh tonight. Wince Carter has been in a terrible shooting slump as of late, but he'll probably have a good game against the Raps as usual.

        If the Dinos hope to steal this one they need to take advantage of the fact the Magic are playing the 2nd of a back to back. Dinos need to come out aggressive in the 1st quarter and set the tone of the game. Also they really need to defend the three point line and keep Reddick and other role players from looking like all stars. If the Raps can get Howard into some early foul trouble that'll help the cause as well. It'll be a close one.

        Magic 101

        Raps 95

        ...Still, LET'S GO RAPTORS!

            Oh my goodness ...

            Calderon + Jack + Belinelli + Hedo + Bargnani

            You have to be kidding me? A Bargnani/Hedo/Marco frontcourt? That has to be one of, if not the, worst rebounding frontcourt in NBA History.

            That is a very ugly lineup. A disaster waiting to happen.

              The Raptors have been the scrappier of the two teams. Better energy. Better effort. They've out-worked the Magic.

                That lineup came in at the three minute mark and pushed the lead from 3 up to 9 to end the half.

                Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

                  Seems to have worked out man. That lineup just extended the lead. Good first half by the Raps. I like how they are playing D12 straight up. They just gotta watch the 3 point line a little more carefully, especially in transition, cuz Orlando missed a couple open looks.

                    Good fight in the Raptors tonight.

                    Raptors lead 84-68 near the end of the third. They should win this one.

                    This would be a very good win.

                        What a great game tonight.

                        What happening to the Magic over the last week or so. WOW do they look bad.

                            What a fantastic win. A shame we underachieved in Boston last weekend because it would of been nice to have 7 in a row.

                            Either way, this team appears to be turning the corner. FINALLY

                              It'd be 8 in a row if we had Boston right?

                              Either way, I think I shit my pants this game.
