DJ,
I agree with you in general that our remaining two points should be able to keep up with Orlando's, but here are my concerns: 1)Lindsay's legs-they were only counting, and prepping him for ~10min/game. They will need him more than that, hopefully he has the energy. I think he will as he only has to do it for one game likely. 2)Can Stuckey stay out of foul trouble, they will be attacking him as much as possible. He has the ability as long as he remembers not to try and reach in to stop everything...sometimes when you get beat you have to just let it go and try to negate it at the other end, especially if you are thin at the position. 3)Scoring when Afflalo is in for RIP. With the need for Stuckey at the point they won't be able to use him to spell RIP at the 2, and with Howard down low they can't as easily switch to going down low for points. This is where Tayshaun has to come up big!
