No big man, no problem in Orlando
With a 10-2 record, 5 straight wins and the only W versus Boston’s Celtics, the Orlando Magic could be the hottest team in basketball. All this without a legitimate big man.
After dumping Donny Darko “Me, Me, Me” Milicic, the Magic have been switched on, Baby!
Granted, Darko is the greatest thing to come out of Yugoslavia since Pork Schnitzel. But even as the central cog in the Memphis Grizzlies’ machine, Milicic is averaging 10 points and 7.6 rebounds in 29 minutes.
Further, Milicic’s free-throw percentage is 48.3-percent, resurrecting the term “Hack a Slav”. Moreover, he’s 22, he’s injured and he sleeps with a male goat.
Following a 1/2-point cover between Duke and Princeton, the TipOff Talk Towers and Convention Center Plaza Lock of the Night staff has some mojo risin’ at 5-5-1. Gonna keep on risin - Mojo risin’ … Denver is clicking, stomping out three straight home wins of 17 points or better. Chicago is an 8-point underdog and will lose by at least 25. Take Denver to cover that 8.
And now … fetal alcohol syndrome at work (bega-bega-bega bout an hour ago)
