Sports - 7 hours, 42 minutes ago With three games remaining, the Magic are now competing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Although the Magic are locked into the No. 2 playoff seeding in the Eastern Conference, it's the Lakers in the West, with the identical record (56-23) who are providing the incentive to keep pushing through the regular season. The only reason it would matter is if they meet again in the NBA Finals, where the team with the better record would have home-court advantage. A year ago, the Lakers with the home court, beat the Magic in the Finals. "If we ever get there -- and it's a long way to go -- but I'd hate to be sitting there in the Finals going, 'We could have had a shot at this if I didn't rest so-and-so for no (good) reason,'" coach Stan Van Gundy said. "I'm not saying we'll get there, but if we do, I want every advantage and I think that's a lot more important than giving a guy a night off." Van Gundy was referring to why he hasn't started giving Dwight Howard a night off, much like the Cavaliers and Lakers have done with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. Both Howard and Van Gundy said that they expect Howard to play all 82 games this season for the fifth time in the last six years. "I'm not jealous. Those guys (Bryant and James) can rest, but I'm going to continue to play," said Howard after getting 25 points and 13 rebounds in an easy victory over the Knicks on Friday night. "I think (coach) Stan's (Van Gundy) motto is, 'You can rest when you die.'" In 11 of the last 14 NBA Finals, the team with the home-court advantage has won. ***************************** Links for Watching/Listening to Game RADIO: http://www.nba.com/broadband/alp_schedule.html http://580wdbo.com/ Spanish Radio: AM 1030 WONQ BROADBAND: http://www.atdhe.net/index.html http://www.justin.tv/directory?category=sports http://www.channelsurfing.net/ STATS (Updated throughout the game): http://sports.yahoo.com/nba http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/scoreboard Other Links www.nba.com www.orlandomagic.com www.espn.com www.cnnsi.com www.nbcsports.com www.cbssportsline.com ************ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AddiFB 429 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Would be interesting to see if Cleveland rested LeBron, Mo and Antawn (along with Shaq, of course) and we rested Dwight, Vince, Shard and Meer. Which bench would win? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AddiFB 429 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 The word out there is that LeBron might sit for the remainder of the regular season. I expect him in street suit tomorrow, sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ApexTurbo 6 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Prolly going to be a decent move for them to rest. I really do not see them losing in the first round even if they are rusty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMP 424 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Mo, LeBron, Jamison, and Shaq will most likely not be playing... Shaq MIGHT just because he needs to get into game shape. Either way, it's a meaningless game... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
