First off my aplogies for sacking on the blogging lately...no Pacers post game review or Cavs pregame review. Ive had some technological issues. Anyways I'll get to the point.
The Magic have officially gotten back on track after two tough losses to the Celtics and Heat. Two wins in a row is always great but I have to like it even more when they are both blowouts, and one comes against Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The brightest spot for me over the two wins was the performance of Mickael Pietrus. After missing 12 games with a fractured right wrist Pietrus came off the bench against the Pacers and exploded for season high's of 27 points and 10 rebounds. He then followed up that performance by playing a solid game againts the Cav's where he helped in out mass team effort to slow down Lebron James.
Now moving forward up next we have the Toronto Raptors led by perennial All-Star Chris Bosh. The Raptors and the Magic have a little history as this is a rematch of the first round playoff serious last year in which the Magic won in 5 games. In those games Dwight Howard was a beast, and I think that can be expected today as well. Toronto has had no answer for him, and I expect that to continue today.

First off, let me start by saying Lebron James is a beast! With that said, I think that the win against the Cavs was huge for the Magic. I think the three teams it will come down to in the East are the: Cavs, Celtics, and Magic. Beating the Cavs will give the Magic alot of confidence when the playoffs arrive. I also agree with you that Piertus tore it up! It is really nice to have him back on the court!
