Orlando and Atlanta - The forgotten series

[vitamink420]

Well, there goes my interest in the playoffs. At least I can take solace in the fact that ATL has no chance in hell against the Bulls.

My source told me Jameer is going to see rose on a 55" Sony Bravia 3D.

hey Howard where is your smile now,

Dwight has grown a lot this year. His game has grown and himself as a person. This is the first season where I look at Dwight and actually see a man and not a kid anymore. He doesn't look like a kid and it seems like he smiles a lot less than he used to. Next year is going to be a hell of a season. (if there is one)

did anybody catch what svg said in the presser? "at times we defended too well" haha

Let me contribute a thought.....first time for everything.

It's completely EMBARRASSING for the NBA to use local announcers for these playoff games, especially a Game 6. Just embarrassing. What if there's an amazing game ending play? You have some biased local yokel calling it? REEEEEEEEDiculous.

Well, that was a bit surprising. I didn't think the Hawks would be able to beat the Magic. First upset in these playoffs so far I think. D.Howard probably isn't happy at all, and he might get out of there unless they can land someone big, which isn't going to happen methinks. It was a good series though.

Magic vs Bulls sounds more interesting than Hawks vs Bulls. Regardless, I hope the Hawks vs Bulls have an entertaining series.

The last 10 times a team losing 3-1 won big in game 5 that team then went on to lose game six 9 out of the 10 times. Pretty ominous for Orlando:

2010 West First Round: Mavs win Game 5, 103-81, lose to Spurs in Game 6, 97-87.
2010 West First Round: Nuggets win Game 5, 116-104, lose to Jazz in Game 6, 112-104.

Magic's trades during the season ultimately failed. Turk started off hot, but ended up remind Raptors and Suns fans of how bad he was. I can't see any more teams taking his contract.

Arenas didn't too much, and Richardson kind of struggled, especially in the playoffs.

Magic will have to do something drastic in order keep Dwight. Getting a good PG would be a nice start.

What a horrible match that was, brainfart on either side... the loser is determined by who's sucking more :
