Living in California (even with Sun Sports and League Pass on my satellite package), I'm unfortunately stuck with ESPN.

Sun thank goodness
Jameer to D-Rose - "See you in the second round."
"As I was in the air, I was talking to him," Howard said to laughter. "Jameer, what did I tell him in mid-air?"
"Don't jump," Magic guard Jameer Nelson(notes) said.
"I don't know why he jumped," Howard said. "He wanted to be in the poster with me because we both wear [the same brand of shoes]."
Espn, but listening to NAB Audio with Dennis and Ritchie
Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

The Magic are 8 1/2 point favorites
…with an over/under of 180 1/2 (sportsbook.com).
Sportsbook.com has the Magic as a 15 point favorite, according to its power rating system.
Atlanta finished the season with a 11-25 record against teams with a winning record, while the Magic were 15-19 against winning teams.

It’s the annual “opening of the first beer of the playoffs”. It’s very solemn. You’d be touched. At least I think it’s cool. I don’t remember any of the previous ones.
How would one update a bold prediction in the middle a game?

Can we please give Dwight the ball more???
I can’t stand watching bass shoot jumpers when collins is one foul away from being benched
Orlando Magic. Oregon Ducks. Seattle Mariners. Jacksonville Jaguars.
Dwight was wide open for a Turkoglu pass but instead he chose to shoot it
Really weird. I can’t understand these decisions.
And he decided to fade away
making it worse
Orlando Magic. Oregon Ducks. Seattle Mariners. Jacksonville Jaguars.
In Phoenix
For the Magic he was playing really well, and I have the feeling he was preparing to give his all in the playoffs.
Can someone tell Bass he's NOT our #1 option?

If I were Atlanta's coach I'd attack Dwight EVERY time when I have the ball
So I can get him into foul trouble. He’ll get some blocks, but he’ll also get fouls. That’s the key.
I'm surprised you're still having to sit behind a computer on a blog with that knowledge.

What are you talking about
I said “if I were Atlanta’s coach” because I’m an assistant right now, I’m typing from the arena.
Yeah you'll eventually get a few fouls, but you'll also go an entire quarter only scoring less than 10 points
Orlando Magic. Oregon Ducks. Seattle Mariners. Jacksonville Jaguars.
And you could coach the Charlotte Bobcats!!!

They do not have a superstar that will get a 6th foul call

Joe Johnson?
Just see what contract he has. That’s a superstar contract, so he has to be one, right?

Then you must also remember that SVG readjusts during halftime and the Magic often kill in the 3rd quarter

His game is like a baby's butt
Smooth, sometimes explosive.
Notice they are saving Collins with just 2 fouls.
They plan to take Howard out in the 2nd half with Collins because he’ll have 4 fouls to give. But I think SVG will recognize this and change up the gameplan.
Atlanta shot 78% in the 2nd quarter?!
Holy crap – and they were mostly jump shots.
I don’t think they could do that again if they were the only ones in the gym.
The plural of "anecdote" isn't "data."
Regression to the mean is coming for the hawks
78% shooting isn’t going to continue
Orlando Magic. Oregon Ducks. Seattle Mariners. Jacksonville Jaguars.
Yeah, attack the basket where Dwight can block/alter shots

So I get home from work and see Howard having a career Playoff game and our perimeter guys are no where to be found.
They need to get aggressive.

I truly hope every
other starter not named Howard turns in their paycheck for that performance. What a haste of a historic game from Dwight. That is the kind of gameplay that gets someone thinking about changing teams.

You feed the star every time, he wants more touches, the game plan as implimented is working. The hawks are hitting long 2's and 3's. It happens...

A Garbage 1st half from everyone on the Magic not named Dwight
sad. Dwight dominates, yet were behind.
Gil had 2 stupid turnovers..
One where DH called for the ball being crazy open. JJ played o.k. being out for so long.
Thats life will Gil, be glad we got some positive plays from him

The perimeter offense wasn't the problem.
We scored 48. We should lead any game at halftime when scoring 48. The problem was partly defense, partly ungodly shooting from the outside from ATL.

The good news is
that the Magic are a second half team. The first half was just extra disappointing because it belittled Dwight’s awesome display.

Can’t believe everyone but Dwight is doing so poorly. Personally I sorta saw this coming based on the regular season series. But, that isn’t to say that I think they’re better than us, or that they’re going to win this series. Just they weren’t as bad as they did last year, and we truly did embarrass them.
Hopefully this is a wakeup for the magic – and maybe the MVP voters.

I had Magic in 6, and still believe that will be the case.
Supporting cast needs to find that playoff switch fans have been talking about during all the (disappointing) regular season.

Yeah, I can't wait to see Mateo9399 in denial in the game thread.

Otis screwed up the team, why did he kill the team?
Arenas needs to hurry up and shoot himself (out of this slump).
Something about a stomach virus and the need to bring his adoptive son to the team.
It’s a long story. Not sure if it’ll have a happy ending.

Honestly People, I'm not surprised at the outcome.
I been looked and talked about our weaknesses and sadly expected this. I am surprised DH had a monster game though!
Still, it’s only one game, lets hope the really learn from this. Howard once again proved his worth and can back up anything he says about this game after wards. even if it’s calling out the rest of the team. It seems everyone forgot that it’s the Playoffs.

Fail. It’s all good though. Where’s J-Rich?

Did not seem like a playoff game to me...

Dwight Howard is so handsy!
If you're watching a blowout, you can pass the time by counting the double teapots.
Anybody else going to jump ship and start believing we wont make it out of the first round?
The end of the regular season said a lot about this team. You don’t suddenly “get it” in the playoffs and make a run for it. Besides Dwight, this team seems lost most of the time.
