    We are now about to go down the home stretch, here is our last 14 games....

    New Jersey at home
    @ New York
    @ Boston
    Indiana at home
    Minnesota at home
    Toronto at home
    Memphis at home
    @ Milwaukee
    @ Detroit
    @ Philadelphia
    Boston at home
    @ Washington
    Miami at home
    ---------------------

    <u>What we should do down this stretch</u>
    Just looking at the schedule we shouldn't lose more than 4 games in this stretch and we should finish 9-4 or 8-5 at worst with losses to Detroit and Washington as pretty much sure things. Minnesota, Toronto, the Knicks and the Heat are all potential losses as well, but with 3 out of those 4 at home there is no reason not to win at least half of those. We really shouldn't lose to Boston, Memphis, Indiana, New Jersey, and Philly.

    <u>My predictions</u>
    New Jersey at home- Win-This is big for playoffs and hopefully we will give Dwight the ball
    @ New York- Loss-Let down game.
    @ Boston Loss-Doc doesn't tank against us to prove how stupid we were in firing him
    Indiana at home Win-They are in worse shape then us
    Minnesota at home Win-Dwight steps it up against KG
    Toronto at home Loss-They own us
    Memphis at home Win-Memphis just isn't that good, but Mike Miller will light us up
    @ Milwaukee Loss-We've embarrassed them 2 straight games, so they will do the same this time
    @ Detroit Double digit loss
    @ Philadelphia Loss-Another head scratcher
    Boston at home Win-barely
    @ Washington Win-just cause we will beat a team that we shouldn't
    Miami at home Loss-Just because we are the Magic

    7-6 and barely make the playoffs to get swept by Detroit, just because the Knicks and Nets aren't very good and the Pacers are playing horrible.

    That is probably optimistic too.

    We've won the first two games thankfully and are currently sitting at the seventh seed which would match us up against the Cleveland LeBrons. Here are my predictions the rest of the way out.

    @ Boston: Win, we have to beat Boston since they can't beat anyone
    Indiana at home: Loss, while we should win, four games in a row is too consistent for us
    Minnesota at home: Win, Dwight will have a big game against his idol KG
    Toronto at home: Loss, they always come to play against us
    Memphis at home: Win, we're at home and they are horrible this year
    @ Milwaukee: Win, mediocre team and I think we'll be pumped after a blowout win over the Grizz
    @ Detroit: Loss, they are too which is why we need to get the seventh seed
    @ Philadelphia: Loss, gotta have a surprise game somewhere in there
    Boston at home: Win, like Gators said barely because we're frustrating like that
    @ Washington: Loss, they have our number much like Toronto
    Miami at home: Win, we finish our season with a win at home against a Wadeless Heat

    6-5 to finish the season.
