ECSF - Hawks @ Magic - Game 1

[TampaDude]

Magic showing no class at the end trying to run up score. Would never happen with a Pop team.

They had their scrubs in for the whole 4th quarter...that's hardly "running up the score".

[Budkin]

CROFL Hawks! What a joke of a team.

I don't drink but I may have to become an alcoholic soon. This series is over. Hawks are finished.

Yeah...Atlanta simply has no answer for Dwight Howard...Magic in 5, tops.

The Hawks blowed big balls tonight, what a joke the East is...

The East may not have as many good teams as the west, but the east has more elites. Cleveland/Orlando (No I don't think Boston is elite) compared to just LA out west.

Orlando needs to be careful. They could wind up like Cleveland did last year. The Cavs swept the first two rounds of the playoffs but were butt beaten to death by the Magic in the ECF. Sometimes it's good for a team to be in close games and even lose in the playoffs. It means you've been tested. When you're beating the out of the other team all the time, your players will get comfortable and expect things to be easy all the time.

I disagree. I feel the superior team will win no matter the path they took. Now do they need to prevent themselves from getting overconfident? Yes, but if you are able to beat/blow out your opponents every game I can't see how that is a bad thing. The Cavs last year just ran into a superior team; I doubt any Cavs fan would chalk the series loss to not facing enough adversity.

I don't think a SVG coached team will be unprepared IMO..he's a coaching nazi, but I love it..

magic looking better than everyone else right now. i still don't think dwight howard can be a prime time fourth quarter offensive player but the magic might not need him to be. nelson seems healthier than ever and vince carter seems like he still has one more year left in him. magic are pretty deep too.

[Muser]

I just do not enjoy watching the Magic play all that much.

I agree, it's ing ugly to watch them shoot 3 after 3.

[blkroadrunners]

Talk about a rape.

too bad you not old enough to drink

[TheManFromAcme]

Magic looking mighty good here folks. Mighty good.
Dwight's huge but Jameer is the key here.
