How Can The Magic Be Favored Tomorrow?

[rm18]

The Hawks are 37-8 at home this year, and being down 2-0 is usually a good spot for the home team.

I guess they seem to fare bad against Orlando this year, but do not think that Orlando is a bad matchup for the Hawks. Of course Orlando is a better team but do not think anyone should be favored at Atlanta let alone in a desperation game.

You would also think the NBA wants the Hawks to win, they need some more games.

[Chi_archie]

tricky.....

Magic has really outclassed them..... Hawks are looking for about 3 answers to the Magic lineup right now....


Might take the Hawks Points for 3 units and Ml for .5 or .75 units

[strybie]

because ORL is one of the best teams at the moment , I'll take ORL ML

[Durrrr]

umm because they won by 43, then 14 and are by far the better team, that's how.

EDIT: op, you should probably change the line under your avatar.

[SR]

Is this even a serious question?

Because ATL blows and can't contain them.....

[jtang0701]

spurs were down 2-0 and they still lost at home, ATL just worse than Orlando

[Jak]

If the bucks had bogut they could of taken the hawks out and woodsen still hasn't found a way to deal with dwight. Leaning on the magic to sweep

MAGIC -2 IS THE PLAY!

[nulldah]

i think magic is the only big team that dont know how to loosen up. i remembered they r one of the team that has good ats record near the end of regular season where almost all games are meaningless. and different with bobcats where they can put superman to foul trouble and difficult to score, all hawks can do is foul trouble. once he's on the floor, no one can stop him at all...

[cmle123]

the only question can magic out score hawk. remember game 2 hawk have hit all their jumper until forth quarter. hawk suppose lead by 8 in half and suppose lead by 5 by fourth quarter if wasn't thanks to nelson hitting buzzer 3 in very short time make turn 2 to end third.. all hawk have to do is improve their jump shooting and this game is theirs. brarkey say hawk either die by jump shot or live by jump shot.

[WiseGrumpy]

ATL has a BAD bench ... the second game ppl bet ATL, which was bizzare. ppl bet the Spurs last night which was bizzare, ppl bet Boston yesterday which was bizzare ... betting against ORL is SUPER BIZZARE!!!

Orlando easy win ml

[shroomysoup]

Because the Hawks are just a bad team and Mike Woodson is a terrible coach. They could have easily lost that series to the Bucks.

Tru dat...

[oiler]

because atlanta gave orlando there best shot and orlando didnt flinch.orlando in 4

[samus82]

Hawks know they have to come out strong tonight and win the game otherwise they are done in this series. I think it will be a lot closer than the other games, leaning slightly towards Magic, but not sure.

I'm taking over 195. Hawks will shoot better tonight but they still won't be able to stop the Magic offense. Plus with a closer game I'm expecting a lot of free throws in the 4th and the fouling this series has been pretty high.

[Fishhead]

ORL up to -2.5 at many shops

[Nomocino]

They are playing better ball then anyone for the last 2 months

[BIGDAY]

ORL makes a statement tonight EZ.

[Brocc]

How could the Spurs be favored by 7 last night?


Because suckers think that an inferior team WILL win when they come home....What a crock of shit!

Magic ROLL!!!!!!!!!!

well the public still take them. i don't understand what happen there but i called sun ml because i like the coaches and nash have too much exp.

don't count on magic to take this game. odd maker are not stupid. sure record show magic will take it but what happen in game 2 showing hawk can take this and make it 2-1. there is weakness magic. get howard foul trouble and they will have the game. just wonder is that dum hawk coach knows it.

[MRcool2035]

Why wouldnt they be favored

[Fishhead]

Point guard MAGIC JOHNSON won championship playing CENTER

What a player.

[Laker_crazy]

Well,the magic have been hot lately and the hawks have done nothing to show that they can compete with the magic,i just see the magic playing with energy and getting a 3-0 lead.The hawks may win the next won but i doubt there would be more than 1 win for the hawks and that won't be tonight.Magic by 5-7 points.Good luck

[bettilimbroke999]

Hawks barely escaped the Bucks to get through 1st rd and then lost game 1 by 43 which is just basically unbelievable

Orlando of course 4-0 pwned the Bobcats in rd 1

The Hawks then had an 8 pt lead at half in Game 2 and still somehow lost by 14

And you ask how Orlando could be slightly favored , its bc if Atlanta was favored who the hell would bet on them?

[soli]

Orlando is tuff to beat even if they are not at their best

[pavyracer]

Hawks will win tonight. Watch and learn.

[og4667]

hawks will win tonight. Maybe its just a hunch but seems like the obvious play.

[jjgold]

Orlando mid range play

They are just too strong

[lakerboy]

Im not sure who is gonna win this game but i know one thing. The Atlanta Hawks should not be an underdog at home to any team in basketball.

[talnted]

I think the hawks will scrap out a victory tonight at home
