Now this should be a game. I have a bad feeling about this one. Well, first off we have the two old buddies from St. Joes, going head-to-head tonight at the point guard position. My question is who will Ben Wallace guard? Lewis? I dont think he can keep up with him. That should be a matchup in our favor, especially because Lewis won't have to do much on defense with Wallace.



Sunday night Big Z had 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks in his first game back from a 7 game absence due to injury. Ben Wallace played only 27 minutes, yet he had 15 rebounds. Lebron had his usual MVP type game. The Magic better watch out or there will be some serious butt whoopings going on in Orlando.


Our last matchup was the all too familiar Hughes-with-40-points game. Lebron had 29 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds. The Cavaliers outscored us in every quarter except the first. In that game we missed 10 free throws, shot 39% from 3 point land, and let the Cavs shoot 54% from the field. Were gonna have to do better than that if we wanna come out victorious.


And from the O-Sent: Confetti fell from the Amway Arena rafters Saturday night. The public address announcer alerted the sell-out crowd that the Orlando Magic had clinched a playoff berth with 14 games left after dispatching the Indiana Pacers 122-111.Fans let out a throaty roar.Inside the Magic's dressing room, players were ecstatic. . . over the fact there would be no practice today. Oh, the clinching? Ho and hum."It's business as usual -- and that's a good thing," point guard Jameer Nelson said. "It's just one less thing to worry about."
