Want to see a weird stat? Orlando is 2-5 on National TV, and 20-2 elsewhere. That statistic comes courtesy of our excellent Orlando Magic blogger, Ben Q. Rock. And I'm sure it's a coincidence--last year's playoffs were on National TV, too, and they did pretty well. But this year in prime time, it's been quite a struggle. Today's been worse than most. Will they crack 50 points before the fourth quarter?
And besides, it's not all bad. The original "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" went to on to form one of the most successful shows in television history. Saturday Night Live.
So I guess this means Stan Van Gundy is Lorne Michaels, Dwight Howard's on the verge of developing a drug problem, and Vince Carter is Chevy Chase, the talented guy that everyone secretly loathes. Vince Carter is definitely Chevy Chase.
