After an overtime loss in tonight’s Game Two of the NBA Finals, the Orlando Magic are in an 0-2 hole. Here’s ten reasons why they can recover to win it all.

10. Their sixth straight loss in the Finals was much closer than the other five

9. Nothing quite says home court advantage like an arena named after an infamous multi-level marketing company

8. It’s not like Phil Jackson has a track record of closing the deal in the Finals

7. Now that Stan van Gundy has freed JJ Redick from the bench, only good things can happen

6. Hedo Turkoglu will channel his Sacramento Kings training to channel the comeback

5. Lamar Odom’s blood sugar is bound to crash

4. David Stern is sure to order the refs to prolong the series, the same way he ordered LeBron James to the Finals

3. You can’t keep Marcin Gortat down for a full series

2. At some point, the Magic point guards might realize they are being guarded by Derek Fisher and Shannon Brown

1. The Lakers aren’t going to be interested enough to sweep
