Not much to say.  Orlando is not a good basketball team despite their big blowout last night.  

On defense, they finished 11th which isn't bad.  But they don't have anyone that matches up well with Cade.  Suggs will get the bulk of that work, and he gives up a good 15-20 pounds to Cade.  Cunningham averaged 32/10/8 in three games against Orlando this season.  Nobody really matches up with Duren either.  Both guys should have a big series.

On offense, Orlando is a mess.  They don't even have a true PG on the roster.  They are one of the worst shooting teams in the league, 21st from the floor and 27th from three.  Banchero is probably the least efficient star in the entire league and loves the pull-up mid-range jumper instead of going to the rim.  Bane is fantastic and their best player IMO.  Ausar should get that assignment.  Zero shooting threat from the C positions, which is good for Duren.  The one thing Orlando does well is get to the line, first in the league this year.  Detroit fouls a ton so that is one thing to watch.  Expect a big discrepancy in free throw attempts this series.

Orlando's locker room is also a mess.  Almost everyone expects Mosley to be fired at the end of the season.  There were reports this week of Orlando's star player demanding the coach be fired or he would want a trade.
