Magic Playoff Seeding

On the Dante and Galante internet show, they had John Denton on, talking about the NBA and the Magic. One thing that stuck out is about the playoff seeding. They mentioned a record of something like 3-8 in the past few seasons against Toronto.

Dropping from the #3 seed to the #4 seed would be a devastating blow, especially if Toronto is the team we have to face at the #5 spot. We have the #3 seed "on a platter", as Dante and Galanted said on today's telecast. "We have to get out of the first round, for this season to be meaningful. We have to get out of the first round."

Facing Detroit in the first round again would be horrible. But some argue that it wouldn't be as bad as facing the Raptors, who we have a history of struggling against. We can't forget that we are the only team in the NBA who has beaten Detroit and Boston both twice. That's gotta mean something.
