They've played the Magic down to the wire in both games, games that could've went either way. Dont overlook these guys and throw out their chances just yet. This is a WHOLE different ball club under DiLeo than it wsa under Cheeks. DiLeo is rotating these guys masterfully (boy am I going to hear $hit for saying this), and getting the young guys some quality time late in the games. I think they are going to make a nice stretch run heading into the playoffs and land witht he 4,5, or 6 seed. I, for one, am excited about the rest of this year. It's still early but am eager to see if they pull it together and rise in the ranks. If you are still adamant about their chances, or lack there of, come playoff time, we can possibly make a little wager. I know of a few Cheesesteak joints that travel well. I want some more autographs.  |
You do realize that they have lost 4 in a row right?
Cleveland is mediocre away from home? They have lost to 1 non playoff team on the road all year and are 18-10 and have been playing a significant portion of the year without 2 starters. Boston is the weak link because Orlando may be better with Alston than Nelson. Philly would surely lose in 4 to Orlando or Cleveland. They may beat Boston once. If everything goes their way they may beat Atlanta twice. But they realistically have zero chance to advance.
