Above: Rashard Lewis watches on, like a courtside fan, as Chris Bosh glides easily to the hoop. Last night must have been a fluke against the Pistons. They must not be on track. They are not the Pistons that won 10 straight games heading into the All-Star game. Tonight they were trailing by more than 20. They lost tonight to the Bucks, 98-103. Either we had a lucky night or they faked us out.
Still, Dwight had a big night with 37 points. But so did Bosh with 40. We opened the gate straight to the rim, invited him to hang out around the basket, and munch on our defense. He tore up the defense like a hot butter knife and go to the line 11 times making all of them. Carlos Delfino came off the bench to score 23 for Toronto, including five 3-pointers.
Toronto already had over 100 heading into the fourth. Orlando went on a 10-2 run to start the final quarter, but Toronto held the lead by over 10 points the whole time. Back-to-back threes from Calderon iced the game as the Magic fell again in a game we "should have won".
These are the games that just piss me off and make me want to pull my hair out because we can't guard anyone, not even frickin Carlos Delfino! This team needs to get its balls taped back on and stop being such babies or they will be crying like T-Mac after another first round exit!
This was Orlando’s first road loss since losing to Detroit on Jan. 25. Even with this loss the Magic are leading the league with a 20-11 record away from home.
