Important (and Under-rated) for the Orlando Series...

Courtney Lee is out for the Orlando series with a Sinus injury....this is HUGE for the outcome IMO...you may be thinking...huh?? Well consider this....
  • The Orlando rotation for the rest of the series is: Howard (replaced by Battie/Gortat for Game 6), Lewis, Turkoglu, Pietrus, Redick, Alston, Johnson.....if you're scoring at home....that's 4 legitimate players in game 6 and 5 for game 7....They were already short-handed with using Redick (who I like but has no experience/is one-dimensional) and Johnson, and the Battie/Gortat pu pu platter behind Howard....now, they are without their best perimeter defender, and a guy in Lee who they wouldn't be leading this series without....
Let's just say...I'm higher on Lee than most...but he's their best matchup for Iguodala, and this is a bigger deal than you may hear about...
