Join in the Dance!

No, I'm not telling you how to celebrate the Magic's big victory tonight (114-89 over the Philadelphia 76ers, to advance to the 2nd round of the NBA play-offs).

Although, that would be as good a reason as any to cut a rug tonight . . .

Actually, "Join the Dance" is the name of one of the entries in this Saturday's running of the Kentucky Derby.

The horse just *happens* to be part-owned by Orlando's own Rashard Lewis. And, my theory is that was a big part of the motivation he needed to seal the deal up in Philly tonight. He didn't need the distraction of a Game 7 in this already-too-long series. He needs to be sipping mint juleps with the rest of us . . .

I suppose, though, he will be eyeing the outcome of the Celtics/Bulls series. Whoever wins in Boston on Saturday will face the Magic in round 2.

Anyway, if you're a Magic fan tonight, go ahead and dance. Lewis and the rest of the team performed amazingly well tonight despite the absences of Dwight Howard and Courtney Lee.
