I wouldn't mind seeing them in the finals... but history isn't on your side. The team that is up 3-1 in a playoff series, has only come back to win the 7 game series 8 times in the history of the NBA. I think that works out to something like 93-96% chance that the Magic will close this thing out and move on.

Of course this is the playoffs and statistics mean nothing. Only wins/losses matter!

It's 95.5%, for those keeping score.

Can I play too?

I really wish Greekgod would have taken my offer when he predicted "Cavs crush Orlando in 4 games"

Someone forgot to remind them to "witness" and bow to the king it seems.
