Clad in their black throwback uniforms, the Orlando Magic will look for revenge tonight against their in-state rival Miami Heat, who dealt them a stunning defeat near the final horn earlier this season. Miami overcame an 11-point deficit to win when Michael Beasley flushed Dwyane Wade's airballed jumper with 1.6 seconds to go. The loss still stings, even for the players. From Sean Deveney of The Sporting News:

"Oh, I can still remember that one," Magic small forward Mickael Pietrus said. "We played very good defense on that play and then, boom, (Beasley) puts it in. Oh, that was a tough one."

Miami's been scuffling of late, with Wade and Mario Chalmers underachieving. As Peninsula Is Mightier points out, the Heat had lost 4 straight home games until Tuesday night, when they crushed the Toronto Raptors by 20. For the season, they're 16th in offense and 19th in defense. In other words, they're a thoroughly mediocre team despite Wade's presence; "underachieving" for him is still better than 98% of the league, I'm afraid.

Orlando made quick work of the Raptors last night, and it can probably use a similar strategy to neutralize the Heat. Force Wade's supporting cast (Beasley, Chalmers, a resurgent Jermaine O'Neal) to take shots. Betweek Yakhouba Diawara and Joel Anthony, Miami has 2 offensive zeroes in its regular rotation. That, too, is something to exploit. Just don't take Dorell Wright, the maturing reserve forward averaging 13.8 points on 60.5% shooting in his last 4 games, for granted. Oh, and box out. Jeez.

The game tips at 8 on TNT; no local TV broadcast tonight, sadly.

We REALLY should not have trouble with these guys… IF we take care of the ball and stick to them like glue, specially Wade.

Crush the HEAT! Yea!

They often let their guard up after a run so let’s see if they can do better tonight.

This game is now toeing the line netween being competitive and becoming a blowout.

I will say this though:

In an 82 game season, games like this happen even if championship teams. And you usually get them around December/Jan. Some turn it on during that strech, some turn it off. Looking at this game and the back to back losses last week, I can see the team is losing interest. Hopefully that Boston game renergizes them.

But this does happen with a lot of teams even title contenders.

first part of the season we had too many players to incorporate into the new system, once we got everyone back our defensive efficiency skyrocketed. problem now is that they think they can turn it on at any point and so we go through big lulls. our defensive numbers are still top10 in the league, which is nothing to scoff at. just played horribly tonight

Is it just me? or...

does it seem like VC is taking this season off statistically? It really just seems like he wants to depend on Dwight, Rashard, MP and even JWill to score points and create opportunities. On the other hand, Rashard seems to be doing the same thing as well.

I wonder if we can hire Tim Grover right after Miami finishes with him. Someone needs to teach Rashard, VC, Dwight and JWill how to move laterally.

thats what he should do

he did a great job last night and distrubuted the ball really well, we just didnt show up tonight and its not all vinces fault, im really getting tired of everyone blaming vince for the losses and not looking at the value he adds to the team, our problem is that j-will is not producing like he needs to and we really need jameer back, it will be a whole different vince when we have jameer back

you saw how well vince played last night when jwill was producing, when vince started to run the offense it was a different look and it mixed things up against their defense

That's why I don't think people should fret over the loss so much.

Jameer is crucial

His pick and roll penetration is sorely missed. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him come back and score a ton of points, because everyone else is so freaking passive right now. Which brings me to my next point:

Vince Carter has largely disappointed me. A team with Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, and Vince Carter shouldn’t be blown out like they were last night. There should be somebody who can step up and score. Vince has the ability, but apparently not the attitude. Actually, I think the ability is waning as well.
