Game 2 Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers 2009 NBA Playoffs, Odds: The difference in the teams in this series are the benches....Orlando's bench actually contributes and The Cavs just try to "buy" minutes with theirs. The Cavs better play defense. Game 1 was inexcusable and I stand by that. Even though Orlando won game 1 they game, and they sure as hell deserved the victory after their second half performance, as a Magic fan you can't say that after Mo Williams drained a half court shot. Under is 8-2 in Magic last 10 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The NBA betting Odds list Cleveland Cavaliers -9 favorites to Orlando Magic heading into this 2009 NBA Playoffs matchup.
The Cavs will win this series in the end, but it may take 6 or 7, unlike the sweeps most fans predicted. This early in the series and its already do or die for the Cavs. The Magic are very capable of winning at the Cav's house twice in a row. But I just don't see it happening. If Orlando grabs Game 2 this series is seriously at risk. Maybe Cavs fans will respect their opponent a little more now that they have taken 3 of 4 from them this year. Under is 4-1 in Magic last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Under is 8-1 in Cavaliers last 9 playoff games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. My Game 2 2009 NBA Playoffs is to bet on the under the total. The NBA betting odds list the total in this Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers game 2 is set at 188.5 points.
