The Morning After The Loss...

Ok so it's been over half a day since the last post. I've had a chance to let the loss sink in and the good things to be realized again. We are still up 2-1 in the series and we still have a much better chance to move on. We are the better road team, and we get to go back on our home court, hopefully to close out the series.

The bad news is that we have been doing a nosedive, as of late. We started off sweltering hot in Game 1, blowing them out of the building. It was a different story in Game 2, where we could have easily lost, but pulled out the 1 point win. And Game 3 was the same outcome as game one, except in their favor. It's time to shake it up, change the pace, or do something different because the game tomorrow is huge. Letting them come back and tie the series just gives them all the momentum in the world. That would be heart crushing for the Magic and their fans. Plus, then it would be anyone's game and they could win the series just as easily as us. Imagine how soft and terrible the Magic would look if they went home in the first round, and let Toronto move on to the second round in our spot!

In other NBA news:

1. T-Mac and crew finally won a game. After crying and whining to reporters that the 2-0 deficit to the Jazz was "all my fault", McGrady led the Rockets to a 94-92 win on Thursday night. T-Mac had 27 points to lead the Rockets, along with 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Alston had 20, Scola had 16/10. Deron Williams had 28 and 10 assists to lead the Jazz.
2. Mere days after being routed by 30 at the Cavs expense, the Wizards dished out the pain right back at Lebron and Co. Last night the Wizards beat the Cavaliers by 36! The end score was 108-72 in a stellar defensive effort in Washington, D.C. This win was without the help of Gilbert Arenas who went out with a left knee injury. The same knee that was surgically repaired and caused him to miss most of the season.
