| They will play a sloppy game but will still pull it out. Expect career numbers for some Magic scrub. |

Unfortunately, the magic have lost 8 road games in a row. 
What is it about us that makes struggling teams look like playoff teams? Do we take them lightly or what? Also, which Magic bench player goes for a career night tonight?
Tonight is a must win.

| Lakers should win. Wonder if Orlando will play both their 20-year olds (Howard and Darko) together. |

I think what happens in these games against lower-tier teams is, Phil puts bench players on the floor in more pressure situations to, hopefully, push them along a little quicker. He knows that, as long as the Lakers remain relatively close, Kobe can pull out 75-80% of the games in the fourth.
I doubt we'll see a lot of that tonight, Phil wants to retain the 8th seed, and certainly wants to maintain a /500 of better record. |

| It wouldn't surprise me if the Lakers get blown out on their home court. But it better not happen. |

I would love to see some minutes with Darko, Howard, Bynum, and Turiaf all on the floor together. See the future now.
As for the poll, I voted for a Laker blowout (the good blowout, not the bad blowout). But if we learned anything about this team, the only constant is that they are inconsistent.
