Indiana have won 2 straight, unless a VERY BIG Magic slump. Magic pretty much have the 8th seed on lock.
New Jersey are now only 1 game ahead, and have had 2 huge games. Including a big win today, and Jason Kidd and Vince Carter both getting a triple double. Something that hasn't been done since Jordan and Pippen.

Re: *OFFICIAL* ORLANDO MAGIC game discussion thread.
Dwight was a monster today, 31 points, 11 rebounds and shot really well. I think JJ Reddick should of played a little better with 20 minutes playing time, only 8 points and 1 rebound. Oh well still a good win today, hopefully you guys can make the playoffs and beat Detroit or Chicago in the first round. That would be awesome.

JJ Redick, played pretty nice. He's really our only consistent 3point force, and thats what i like so much about him. Brian Hill should seriously consider giving him more minutes, but a measly 10-15 minutes a game is going to completely do nothing to his game.
I'm about 99% sure we've got the playoff spot.
Sadly, Detroit is who we will verse first round. Which is probably a first round lose. But as i said earlier, if we can stretch the series to 6 games. I'll be very happy.

Orlando could catch New Jersey. Cleveland is a much easier playoff opponent for the Magic then Detroit is. If they end up with Cleveland in the first round, look for the Magic to at least take the series to 6 games.

I think really any team other then Detroit is a bonus really. But New Jersey have been pretty hot lately, im almost positive that they have the 7th seed.

[B]GAME PREVIEW:[/B]
[quote]Orlando (35-41) at Milwaukee (26-50), 8PM ET -- STATS reports: Road wins have not come easy for the Orlando Magic lately. Getting a victory at the Bradley Center in recent seasons has been even more difficult. Battling for one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, the Magic open a crucial three-game road trip Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Orlando (35-41) is trying to earn its first playoff appearance since 2002-03, but hasn't been playing its best basketball down the stretch. The Magic are 8-15 since the All-Star break and have fallen into eighth place in the East, one game back of seventh-place New Jersey and a game ahead of Indiana... The Bucks (26-50) are coming off a heartbreaking 118-113 overtime loss to New York on Saturday. Ruben Patterson, who finished with a team-high 27 points, hit a 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left in regulation to give Milwaukee a three-point lead. After a timeout, though, Knicks center Eddy Curry responded with a 3 to send the game to the extra period, where the Knicks outscored the Bucks 16-11.[/quote]

[B]JMEWLS'S PREDICTIONS.[/B]
End of season is quickly coming to an end. Orlando is still looking to clinch a spot in the playoffs, and we are very hungry for wins.
Orlando should very well win this one, i think our bench will continue to play amazing. Dwight will get a double double, and we'll win by double digits.
Re: *OFFICIAL* ORLANDO MAGIC game discussion thread.
im predicting orlando will win by double didgets...Dwight will own anyone who plays on him and the bucks will just tank the game.

[quote]Orlando 117, Milwaukee 94 -- The AP reports: Once Dwight Howard's dunks had disassembled the Milwaukee Bucks' patchwork defense, the Orlando Magic had room to roam outside. Orlando equaled its hottest shooting performance of the season on Monday night, hitting 62.5 percent from the floor in a 117-94 victory over Milwaukee. Hedo Turkoglu scored 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting for the Magic, who are trying to hold onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference... The injury-riddled Bucks -- who have been playing without injured center Andrew Bogut and power forward Charlie Villanueva since March 21 -- didn't have a defensive answer for Howard, who had 15 points and 11 rebounds... Trevor Ariza added 16 points for Orlando.[/quote]

Only half a game behind now. A first round matchup against the Bulls or Cavs could really turn some heads.
I'm now hoping New Jersey lose their next game, and we pickup that 7th spot.
