Orlando Magic to cover! Who's with me?

Orlando struggles against Philadelphia in this series. I have yet to even see the 76ers bother doubling up the big guy D12. With him and Lee out, I was wondering why is it that they're only given 5 points? C'mon! Hornets were given 10.5 after that horrific loss to Denver with their away spread averaging somewhere near 7.5-8.5 and it went up to 10-12 points.

Here we see almost the whole world on the 76ers. Looks easy for a lot of people. I say, it looks like public is going to get brutally murdered here.


04/28/09 ORL 91 - PHI 78 ORL -8.5 U 188 4.5 33/76 29/68 45-33
04/26/09 PHI 81 - ORL 84 PHI 4.5 U 192 1.5 31/80 33/70 43-37
04/24/09 PHI 96 - ORL 94 PHI 3.5 U 192.5 5.5 37/71 31/73 35-35
04/22/09 ORL 96 - PHI 87 PHI 10.5 U 193 1.5 34/79 35/75 44-37
04/19/09 ORL 98 - PHI 100 PHI 9.5 O 191.5 11.5 37/76 41/80 35-37


Philly is treated fairly at home getting 3.5 and 4.5 in 3rd and 4th game. Now with the Defensive Player of the Year out plus that ever reliable Lee, who can spread the floor on the offense and play hard defense, out it looks like they're being disrespected getting only 5. Don't ask me if what should be the number to make it fair or whatever. I'm saying it's just so wierd.

Orlando+5 or better for me.

Philly is going to clobber them without Howard in the line-up!

It's money in the bank FRANK!

Magic ML for me as well. Sixers have fallen back down to Earth in the 3 point line. That's what's been keeping them in the games.

I expect Hedo & Shard to step up.

if this were a regular season  game,.i would be very scared of taking PHIL -5 knowing HOWARD & LEE are out...the intensity would be subconsciously taken away from PHIL before the game even started ...

but this being a must win situation , down 2-3...ORLA with or without Howard/Lee ,..PHIL are going to be up for this game...


ORLA is gonna need a near perfect night to win this one...obviously they're going to try..but doesn't it make sense that they'll  probably lose this one, but they'll take PHIL in game 7 in ORLA...?

i'll be happy to ride with PHIL M/L...

gotta look at it from this perspective:

can PHIL handle losing the series 4-2,.bowing out to an understrength ORLA in  PHIL ?.........NO

can ORLA handle losing game 6 to  PHIL ,..knowing they were understrength...knowing they have 1 more chance in ORLA with Howard & Lee ?...........YES...

ORLA will compete...maybe even make it a sweat for PHIL backers...but make no bones about it....
deep down,..PHIL will be the hungrier side tomorrow...might not be pretty...but the disappointment of  losing in 6 , after snatching game 1 in ORLA  will keep the fire lit for PHIL and they WANT A GAME 7.

I've actually seen quite a few magic backers already.  I agree with Vapor Trail here.

Your just trying to get a reaction out of people if you think this will really happen.  Lewis and Turkoglu get a ton of shots off Howards doubleteams and  they will struggle to score against the much more athletic Young and Iguodala. Sixers ROLL

Easy money




Playying well for 3 games doesn't make a season. Using the 82 games is a better barometer. Did you follow this 6ers team during th regular season? They choked away so many games.

The sixers straight choked and should be embarassed, for real. It couldn't have gotten better for them, and they did that?

 

unreal
