Orlando will win this one by 20points if not more, they had a 14 point lead with 7min left to play and gust stop playing defense. Van Gundy will not let that happen again. what are everyones thoughts I am betting big .

[juuso]

I also think convincing Orlando win is very likely today. I didn't go with the spread though. Took Orlando ML -700 with few 2.team parlays.

[andywend]

Orlando ABSOLUTELY STINKS and laying 10 1/2 points is insane.

Other than Dwight Howard, they have nobody on their team that can rebound.

They rely totally on their jump shots and if they don't fall, they WON'T COVER.

Laying -700 on the money line is even worse.

couldnt agree more orlando is the most overrated team EVER in NBA HISTORY they suck and they will lose this game

[dennisback]

yeah i think orlando really SUX, id put some money on Howard over XX points / rebounds though

[cocknocker]

Orlando is the correct call on this one

[King_Bookie]

Orlando will never win by less than 15. It will be a blow out.

[PorkChop]

Philly is a very underated team, and now tonight in a good position, because no one expects anything from them. ...That said, I do believe Orlando wins, but im not convinced it's by 10+ points...

Very well can be another close game. I'm not sold on Orlando, and Philly's a solid team.

[King_Bookie]

Philly won a fluke last game, but that's it. Orlando will win the series 4-1. No one expects anything from them because there is nothing to be expected of them. I never thought of Detroit and Philadelphia as playoff contenders. I had more confidence on the Bobcats and Pacers (at least they are monsters at home)

No chance in hell Orlando wins this 4-1. No chance.

This is easily a 6 or 7 game series. With a lean towards Philly.

Orlando is not the same team since they lost Jamer Nelson, just look how they closed out the season.

Lay off Orlando.

[HoulihansTX]

Yall are all wrong, Look at the history of this series Orlando has won by 10, 2, and 6 in the regular season. Then lost the first game in the playoffs. 76ers are a good matchup for the Magic, b/c they prey on jump-shooting teams, by taking their misses and turning them into transition baskets. 10.5pts is a hard margin for the Magic to win by, since its hard to keep a lead when you shoot a great amount of jump shots. Hedo, and Rashard dont look 100%, and it will be interesting to see if Howard's eye becomes a factor. Gl to all

[King_Bookie]

Good to see people who have their own opinions and not blindly tailing. Good luck to you buddy.

[SportsTerminator]

Philly's win in Orlando was suprising. Orlando let that game slip like they let many games slip this season. Especially the Knicks series. I expect Orlando to hammer Philly tonight. And Philly will win at least 1 game at home in the games 3 and 4. So this series will probably go down to the wire.

[secret007]

I would not bet Orlando eventhough according to line movement Orlando is the "Correct call" ...

However, Houlihans had a valid point which I really really agree.. I would bet Philadelphia in any case... Whether i bet it small or HUGE is another different matter..

[una13ombr]

i wouldnt bet on orlando or philly...**** this line

Do you remember how Philly closed out the season??

[INVINCIBLE]

Orlando aren't overrated. They're very good actually.
But I wouldn't bet on -10.5. GL

[SportsTerminator]

So who's brave enough here, to take 76ers moneyline l0l.

Oh I'm brave enough, just not stupid enough. I can't see Philly taking 2 games in Orlando. I also don't see why that spread is so high. My advice, add a few teams an do an 8 point teaser because Orlando may start playing tighter and the game stays close or Philly could just pick up where they left off toward the end of the season. One thing is for certain, the "Go Big or Go Home" motto does not apply here. More like "Stay Smart and Go Small"...

[stakagrp]

I think if Orlando wins this game whether covering the spread or not then the game should go over the total. The linesmaker adjusted the total on this second game making it 2.5 points higher than the first game in this playoff series. Orlando will try to run set plays, but Philly will try to push the tempo.

no way they will win. management is stupid to iron out the weaknesses.

why go for brand? trade dalembert, he is a liability on offense.
get a high energy man that knows his role.

and damn, bench green, he is doing nothing.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'm going with Philly tonight and sprinkling a little on the ML. I aint scurred

Philly is a horrible team that can't shoot past the FT line but the Magic look lost the last few weeks. Hedo and Rashard are both soft as cotton and refuse to play defense. Phillies physicality has taken them both out of the game. I just don't see where Orlando is going to get points. Philly at least can get out on the break.

This game could be a close Philly win or an Orlando blowout. I'm going to take my chances that Philly out hustles them and pull off the upset. Both teams are struggling. Phillies problem is they can't hit jumpers, Orlando's problem is mental and some aches and pains. I think Orlando's woes are worst.

I'm not betting the house obviously but I'm going 3 Units Philly and the points and 1 unit ML. BOL

You went big on Orlando the 1st game and now your on Philly. I went big on Philly the last game and now I'm on Orlando..

Dam... Hedo and Rashard both don't look right to me. I hope they don't turn it around tonight. I also think Gortat's comments will have an after effect.

[PicksbyPete]

I think the people that took Philly will cover this game. Good luck.

Both teams are inept offensively. If Orlando gets it going offensively (specifically Hedo and Rashard) I'm cooked backing Philly.
