Current Standings:
New Jersey Nets: 35 - 39 [0GB]
Orlando Magic: 34 - 41 [1.5GB]
________________________________________
Indiana Pacers: 32 - 42 [3GB]
New York Knicks: 31 - 43 [4GB]

The final 2 spots i think are now on lock. Orlando will now see the playoffs, and will probably be versing the top Detroit Pistons first round.

New Jersey are now on a roll, and i dont think where going to be catching them.

Indiana have been in a slump ever since the all-star break, and now are looking to continue their slump till the rest of the season.

New York; once thought to have had a chance to make the playoffs have dropped their last 3 and look like they're out of the race.

oo i like the showcase JM ^^^

Magic should take this 1 easy. They should just start planning on how theyre gonna compete w/ Detroit

[stunner316RKO]

The Magic should concentrate on getting ready for the playoffs as well as keeping there playoff spot though I don't think there gonna lose it

Detroit first round, should be an easy series for the Pistons. But im hoping for my Magic to really turn some heads in the first round, maybe take it to 6 games.

Dwight's already said, he wants Detroit first round. I'm thinking of this playoff series to be more of a learning curve for the Magic, not a MUST WIN series. Where packed with so much young talent, and we dont have very much playoff experience. Next season however, im gonna look for a 1st round win because of a more matured team, and a possible signing a SOLID player.

A little history vs. the Grizzlies

The Magic have dropped four straight and eight of nine against the Grizzlies since a 96-91 home win in 2004.

I like the Magic and i hope they win, but I don't know, losing streak against Memphis could continue.

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

very very nice set up you have there.




they should make you a mod.



I'm guessing the only reason the dont is because there aren't enough Magic fans

sorry the previews come way to late everyone, but its Easter today.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Memphis (19-58) at Orlando (34-41), 7PM ET -- STATS reports: The Orlando Magic have little margin for error if they hope to reach the playoffs for the first time in five seasons. The Magic look for a split of their four-game homestand when they host the league-worst Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Orlando (34-41) holds the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but is just one game ahead of ninth-place Indiana. The Magic also trail seventh-place New Jersey by one game. Orlando and New Jersey also have a game in hand on Indiana... However, the Grizzlies have lost four straight, including Friday's 116-104 defeat to Golden State. Memphis has allowed 118.5 points per game during their skid and has been outscored by an average of more than 12 points per contest.

Again sorry for the late post.

Orlando 116, Memphis 89 -- The AP reports: Orlando, looking for its first playoff berth in four years, jumped out to a 22-point lead in the first eight minutes of the game and coasted to a 116-89 victory over the Grizzlies on Saturday night. The Magic, who are only 8-14 since the All-Star break, got 31 points and 11 rebounds from Dwight Howard and 15 points apiece from Hedo Turkoglu and Grant Hill in breaking a two-game losing streak and remaining a game ahead of Indiana for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference... The Grizzlies, who have the worst record in the NBA, were without injured starters Damon Stoudamire, Mike Miller and Rudy Gay. Their replacements, Tarence Kinsey, Stromile Swift and Junior Harrington, combined for 22 points on 8-of-24 shooting.
