ClaytonMagic 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Okay so I took Boston, Orlando, Cavs and matched them up against the top 9 teams in the West. So each of them should play the top 9 in the West 18 total games. Top 9 Teams Lakers Spurs Nuggets Hornets Trail Blazers Suns Rockets Jazz Mavericks Now these are all quality teams that will give Boston and Cleveland the most trouble. Magic The Magic have already played 11 of the 18 games VS these teams. That is counting tonights game VS the Lakers Celtics The Celtics have played 8 out of the 18 games. Cavaliers The Cavaliers have only played 7 of the 18 games against these Westerns conference teams. That is counting the matchup against the Hornets tonight which they will likely lose. This is really looking good for the Magic the second half of the season as the Boston and Clevelands schedules should get tougher and the Magics hopefully easier! GOOO MAAAGIIIC!

J-Pat Attack! 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 where do you get your information? The genius's over at espn say we can't be taken seriously because we haven't played any hard teams and have had the easiest schedule in the history of the NBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svanxx 30 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 I think you're counting tonight's game also. Right now we're 7-3 against those teams. We've been home and away 5 times each, so tonight means we've played more of these games away than at home (and tomorrow it'll be 5 home, 7 away.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nessloch 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 I have been expecting the Cavs to fall a bit all season long. Their schedule has been a cakewalk. BOS is already slowing down. The table is definitely set, if the Magic want the top spot, it will be there. But it will probably take a 60-64 wins. Should be fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PEC 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Cleveland's record on the road isn't all that hot compared to their home record and after they play NO they get to play on road out west. The Lakers being their first game, then Portland, Golden State and then Utah after a short visit home to play the Kings then they play at Orlando. Should be very interesting don't you think.
