Punch, Counterpunch

The title of the post describes, succinctly, the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers. Which team will punch back, tonight, in Game 3?
This is what Hedo Turkgolu had to say about the road ahead for the team:
"It's all on us right now ... how we will approach it and play in front of our home fans."
All systems show that the city of Orlando is ready to root on the Magic:
The Magic have put smiles on fans' faces throughout Central Florida. Now that they are getting ready to host the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, it is easier to see that excitement building.
Here are just a few examples:
The Magic have distributed more than 5,000 of the "Go Magic" lawn signs, and they are sprinkled throughout neighborhoods in the area, sprouting like blue-and-white flowers. Signs have also appeared on store fronts, restaurants and marquee boards at bars. At Sportstown Billiards on Robinson and Bumby, a message reads "We luv Da Magic." Even the Statue of Liberty replica off Lake Ivanhoe holds a "Go Magic" sign.
Single-game tickets to Games 3, 4 [...] sold out in six minutes.
Two quick requests - if you're going to watch Game 3 in person, be loud and be proud. Believe. Likewise, let us know if you're going to be at the O-Rena, tonight!

Pretty confident the Magic will win tonight, the magic dont let things get to them, and :the shot: was more like :the prayer: ….the magic should be extremly confident that they can get this thing to 3-1, now they just gotta go out there and execute, best of luck
Thanks, sir.
You hit the nail on the head with your last phrase, “now they just gotta go out there and execute.”
That’s the name of the game.

Lame is as lame does
TGS, if that’s the case, we’re all super lame. So, you’re in the super-lame zone. :)

Kind of.
I’m in the expanded media area, which has taken over the entire Section 118 of Amway Arena for this series. It’s behind one of the baskets, but it’s still a decent angle, and there are replay monitors within everyone’s view.
Can’t complain, really.
Single-game tickets to Games 3, 4 […] sold out in six minutes.
Orlando goes cuckoo for Magic basketball eh?

Honestly it seemed faster than that. I logged onto ticketmaster within 30 seconds of 10am and there were only single tickets still available
By the time I checked Game 4, they were all sold out. Shoulda gotten a single ticket, I’m mad at myself now!

That’s incredible. 30 seconds? Yowzah.

I'm kinda tempted to try my luck with a scalper before the game

Can't hurt...if you can't find tix there's plenty of watch parties going on downtown!

I want to put my chip on 999.

Or TNT in this case
It’s better than what they show in Sacramento’s case when they were on TNT all the time. LOL

Well sometimes they show K street with the lightrail going by
But, it’s not Disney World. Which, I don’t give a damn about anyway.
