The Brooklyn nets are learning a painful lesson. They went out and added pieces to the puzzle that left them thinking they were going to compete all the way to the Eastern Finals, and hopefully beyond. The lesson is that the talent doesn't always equate to what happens on the floor, and the team chemistry and confidence here has taken the hit. Brooklyn is just 17-22 and only the weak Eastern Conference keeps their playoffs hopes alive. Further, there is nothing about Orlando coming in here that's worthy of their "A" game inspiration. The Magic finally broke a 10-game losing streak in their previous game, so they should have a hop in their step here for this one. The Nets have been brutal when coming off a seven day road trip or longer then taking the court at home, as they have been 5-14 ATS in their last 19 in that situation. I like the points on Orlando.
