Cavs and Detroit losing tonight would be awesome!

And Philly winning would be even better than Detroit losing because maybe they can catch the Wizards and we would have an easier first round matchup.

I dunno, I'd rather play the Wizards. Philly's been hot lately.

No way. The Wizards will have Butler and possibly Arenas back for the playoffs. And Philly is going to have to use all of their strength just to get to that point. I honestly feel they aren't a threat at all in the playoffs.

Now if they shut Butler down for the year, then it would be different.

Thank you Nets. Very nice to gain a full game on the Cavs tonight.

I think the Wizards would definitely be a harder matchup in the playoffs. Arenas would eat our PGs alive!

That is if he is healthy. I really doubt that Arenas will be at 100% even at the playoffs.

Right. I would be much more worried about the Butler/Jamison combo. They are both better than anyone on Philly's roster (And I think Andre Miller is underrated).

That's like having Battie back for us come playoff time. We won't be ready. However, I think Arenas will be somewhat rusty but come Game 3 he should be back. And also, it's Jameer Nelson and Carlos Arroyo who will be guarding him for the most part so I can see Arenas getting his touch back.

I liked the chemistry shown between Nelson and Arroyo. When Nelson got his fourth foul and went to the bench Arroyo made sure to give him dabs (I'm trying to use the slang here), even though it meant him going back to the bench to do it. Also, it is sometimes eerie how similar those two are in production and how they run the offense. I think there is a slight edge for Nelson, but it is not that great at this point.

Another interesting note is the shape that Cook appears to be in. He has really worked hard it seems at fitting in and I like that. His shooting has been off, but he did record 6 boards in his 20 something min, which is great. If he would just stop fouling….

One of the team's goals, according to SVG, is to reach 55 wins. That would be awesome, and with this schedule could really happen. Imagine the Magic riding into the playoffs with that kind of momentum, it would be awesome.

I wasn't able to see the game tonight. SVG said Howard's injury is just a bruise. That's what it looked like to me when I saw it on Sportscenter. Did Steele and Guokas have any updates about his injury?
