    So, what do you guys think of this matchup? I think we match up well against them, with them only having one dominant player. If we can contain TMac, we should be able to take it.

    --Roster Comparisons--
    Orlando:
    PG - Vaughn
    SG - TMac (Advantage)
    SF - Giricek (Advantage)
    PF - Gooden
    C - Hunter
    BENCH - DeClercq, Garrity, Armstrong, Kemp, Whitney

    Detroit:
    PG - Billups (Advantage)
    SG - Rip
    SF - Curry
    PF - Big Ben (Advantage)
    C - Cliffy (Advantage)
    BENCH - Corliss, Atkins, Barry, Memo, Rebraca (Advantage)

    It should be a fun series, but I think we can take them. What areyour guys' thoughts?

    well, the Magic won the first game... A close one tho.

    I'm excited about Game 2. We shot horribly in Game 1 and still had a chance to win at the end. I'd like to see Prince put on TMac, and see how he does with those loooong arms. Can't do much worse than Curry. Maybe it's not fair to dog on him though, since no one can stop TMac when he's on.

    Pistons looking great after a quarter, up 17! This is a tough team to beat when they're on.

    Mcgrady had 46 points on 16-26 shooting but Pistons take game 2 89-77

    ..RIP hamilton got 30 points himself and shot well too on 10-16 shooting along with 7 rebounds and 5 assists.Big ben was back to his rebounding self with 16 boards..and was at least 85% heathly this time..which is why drew gooden struggled.Mcgrady scored 46 and the rest of his team-mates had just 31 now that is straight up terrible!! while pistons had 5 guys in double fiqures..magic had none.

    Now onto to Orlando...series tied at 1-1

    mcgrady 46 rest of the team 31

    OUCH
