The Magic were skewered over the off-season for spending too much on Rashard Lewis while renouncing Darko Milicic for nothing. Bottom line, however, is different. They are 7-2, with a perfect 5-0 road record on the road and leading the Southeast Division. Why? They still have Dwight Howard, who is averaging 22, 15 and 3. Meanwhile, the Nets are in the midst of a three game losing streak, with three backcourt players on the mend. It's the first part of the team's first back-to-back.
