Tough Loss in Orlando; More Than Just the Game


I think we all knew the Magic were too good to get swept by the Pistons this year. Going to Orlando for games 3 and 4 I personally was hoping for a split. A split in the games mind you, not a split for Chauncey. There was definitely a loss bigger in the grand scheme of things last night than one game in the series. Early in the 1st quarter on a drive to the basket, Chauncey's feet got tied up with Jameer Nelson causing Chauncey to take an awkward fall doing the splits as he went down. It was diagnosed as a hamstring strain. The way the game had started, it certainly was a good idea in my opinion to rest him and hopefully get him back for Saturday. Hopefully Arnie Kander, the Pistons strength and conditioning coach can work his magic on Mr. Big Shot and have him ready for Saturday's game. If we can re-group and get a win going back to Detroit up 3-1, we'll be in prime shape for a series win. Get well soon Chauncey!
