Perhaps it’s because they dealt with an injury to Jameer Nelson last year, but Third Quarter Collapse, SB Nation’s Orlando Magic blog, is optimistic about Orlando’s chances of surviving without Nelson for 4-6 weeks this time around.
Losing an All-Star is always tough and not having as potent of a threat at point guard on offense will hurt a little, but the Orlando Magic should be okay while Jameer Nelson is out. That is, as long as everyone else stays healthy.
