Tonight Orlando took the 3-2 series lead after an 11 point beatdown.
I took the Sixers +8.5, and I was laughing when I did it.. not so much now.
I think that this series is the most difficult to predict, because neither team is really trying to act like the dominant. Both teams would rather be an underdog. Orlando has been playing the underdog role with Boston and Cleveland, almost trying to get the 3 seed so that they could be underrated. The Sixers have always loved playing the underdog role and this year was no exception. After signing Elton Brand people said that they'd compete for the Eastern Conference crown... When he went down, up came an excuse... to be the underdog.
I was just about to type a prediction for this finish of this series, but I can't even say for sure what will happen, or if it will go to 7 games. Because seriously, the Magic could win by 22 next game, or lose by 5. The Sixers could win a close game 7 if they make it there, or blow them out! I really hate this series.
Where is Jameer Nelson? That would make this a lot easier on everyone.
