With less than a week left in what had been a great season, the Orlando Magic are heading in the wrong direction, and that's not all that is wrong.

The Magic not only saw their bid for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference end with a 103-93 loss to the New Jersey Nets on Saturday night, they also endured the sight of Hedo Turkoglu being helped off the court in the fourth quarter with a sprained left ankle.
