Magic 90, Bobcats 86

In case any of ye socks missed last night's Magic game, it looks like it may be time to break out your brooms.

Despite a decidedly lackluster performance by the guys in blue and white (including 21 turnovers!), they managed to take a 3-0 lead in the best of 7 series with Charlotte.

If . . . nay, WHEN they win game 4 on Monday, they should be able to enjoy a nice long rest before the second round of the playoffs begin . . .

Smellin' a sweep!

Star-gazing at Game 2 . . .

Well, the Magic dished up an even more lop-sided victory over Charlotte in Game 2 of their play-off series.

The final score was 92-77, and it was an UGLY game. Especially if you were a Wildcats fan. (They only scored 3 points in the first 8 minutes!!!)

Somewhat ashamed to admit this, but as the play on the court was so poor yours truly found himself checking out the notables seating along the sidelines.

I spotted golfer Michelle Wie and Michael Jordan.

Did any of ye socks see any other "stars" in the O-rena? (I mean, besides the ones on the Magic logo, of course!)

Oh, yeah, the play-offs started . . .

Yours truly just realized that he had neglected to mention the beginning of the NBA play-offs in this little corner of heaven.

In case ye socks missed it, the guys in Blue and White beat Charlotte, 98-89

A lot of those points came from Jameer Nelson. 32 points to be precise. If he can consistently throw up numbers like that, he may just be the difference between making it to the finals and actually winning the championship.

But, even with Nelson's shot of adrenaline, the Magic still played to form. It looked for a while like they were going to blow their 22 point lead in front of the home crowd. That surely would have happened if they hadn't been playing a team like Charlotte.

I hate to say it, but Larry Brown's team is one dimensional . . . at least when it comes to dealing with the Magic. They have absolutely no offensive game, and focus almost exclusively on hacking Dwight Howard.

Methinks a series sweep may be in the cards if the next three games play out like the opener . . . stay tuned!

Go Magic!
