While falling to the Nets on Saturday night, the Magic did more than simply lose the game: they also lost any shot at moving up to the No. 2 seed as well as both Hedo Turkoglu and J.J. Redick to injury. Fortunately, being locked into the No. 3 seed isn't all bad, especially if you subscribe to the theory that the Magic needed to avoid a first-round matchup against the Pistons, who have beaten the Magic 17 times in 20 games since the beginning of the 2006-07 season.
