NBA Playoffs Rd 1: Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Bobcats

[Vagrant]

We're not going to win any games on the road in this series, I don't think. I'm not a hater, but when you hold Superman under 10 points and Vince under 15 points and still lose, you missed an opportunity.

The three ball killed us, but the main reason it did was because our first level defense was terrible. Guys like Nelson got to the lanes at will and made some good passes out and finished once they got there. They didn't need to run set plays through Dwight because the lanes were already open.

Have you seen any of the games against the Magic this year....they only one the Cats won was where we let Dwight get whatever he wanted down low and we defended the perimeter....I'll give you one guess where it was....

See you guys Wednesday. No doubt in my mind we WILL win that one.

I like the confidence.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Charlotte Bobcats swingman Stephen Jackson will have an MRI on his hypextended left knee Monday.

But he said after the Magic beat the Bobcats 98-89 that there’s “not a chance in hell” he will miss Game 2 Wednesday. The team said X-rays were negative.

Teammate Gerald Wallace dove for a loose ball and collided with Jackson just before the first-half ended Sunday.

Trainers worked on his knee, and the entire Bobcats team came over to check on him as they walked to the locker room. He got up after about a minute, limping to the locker room and barely able to put any weight on the leg.

He returned to score 10 points in the second half, finishing with 18 for the game. But he sat out the final minutes with the injury.

I like the fight the team showed after the bull poo first half. They need to come out and play like that the whole game for game 2.

Wow. Our Bobcats showed they are tough enough. Larry Brown and the team executed a plan and it almost worked. The Magic hit too many three's and Felton could not stay in front of Jameer but i trust LB to figure it out. It was fricking awesome to watch my Bobcats on TNT.

Tyson Chandler is a waste of space.

What a tough game to watch. Sometimes it's just not your day. When Pietrus hit that 3 while laying on wallace is when I knew it just wasn't in the cards.

here's to hoping wednesday is much different

During the first half i realized why people hate Duke so much.

thats exactly what i was thinking. Live by the three, die by the three. I hope that happens wed. night!

I really think that the 1st half had a lot of guys shaking off their playoff jitters and the fact that they were on the main stage. It seems like we forgot how to defend the 3. The 2nd half was great and I really thought the Cats were gonna come back. I think this shows that Wednesday will be a great game and I strongly believe that the Cats will take that game and return home with some great momentum.

I hope we don't spot them 22 points a game for the rest of the series.
