Indiana Pacers Vs. Orlando Magic

A true Fans perspective..................

Throughout the 2011-2012 season the Orlando Magic have been on a roller coaster ride of uncertainty and negativity. From Steven A. Smith basically buying Dwight a ticket to Brooklyn to the dwightmare song playing in my head "Should I stay or should I go now?", the Magic have stayed together as a team. Before Howard went down with injuries, the Orlando Magic were a lock to grab the 3 seed in the east. At that point the talking heads were preaching about the Heat and Bulls, but also giving the Magic a tiny chance at making it through the east. After the herniated disk, everybody has left this team for dead. Like a rotten animal on the side of the road they discarded these 14 men. Negativity rained supreme. They wont win against the Pacers. They cant win without Howard. They have no chance with the bench they have. The one thing that they forget about the Magic is they have HEART. So we won't have the 3 time Defensive player of the year, We will most likely lose the rebounding battle with the guys Otis has put on our team. But why can't they beat the Pacers? They have a point guard who can take over the game. They have a man who can hit 3's from anywhere in Ryno. We have Big baby who hustles more than the entire Pacers team. Dwight is our best player. But he was not the team leader. The team is made up of 14 other men, who want to prove the critics wrong. Turk is back. Reddick is a great scorer coming off the bench. If Stan tweaks the rotation and keeps our legs fresh, I dont see why the Magic cannot beat the Pacers. The Magic won the season series 3-1. The Magic won not Dwight. Once Dwight got hurt we got to see some of our rookies get playing time. All I am saying is dont count this team out just yet. Dwight is our all star and deserves respect, but other men on this team have stepped up in his absense and shown that they too could be allstars in a few years. Jump on Big Babys back and see you in Miami round 2
