I expect Orlando to bow out gracefully in 4 games. After their sweep the question will be who stays in Orlando? SVG? or Dwight? Its gonna be a rough long offseason for Magic fans.

Not going to lie, haven't seen much Pacer basketball this year but I do know the loss of Howard will be big for Orlando. That's not to say they were playing that well with him.

I got Pacers in this one. After seeing them play really well last year vs the Bulls I am sure they will bring the same energy.

Pacers are legit. They got an athletic fast young team that is pretty deep. It's good to see them finally turn it around after years and years of sucking in the 2000's. Their playoff appearance last year and #3 seed this year show you they're on the right track.

Its actually really surprising how successfully the Pacers built their team without high picks or big free agents. Danny Granger, Hibbert, Paul George were all mid 1st round picks, while Collison and George Hill were both traded for. You dont see many teams pull that off successfully

The Pacers are the team we need to emulate...them or OKC. The Pacers sucked for years, pretty much 2000-2010, but Larry Bird stuck with his plan and got the team on track. I see us going the same way, but if we can get a squad like this Pacers squad, it'll be worth it.

Series is now tied 1-1. It seems these Magic came to play. Big Baby Davis has stepped up admirably at the center position in Dwight's absence. Stan Van's gang has stolen homecourt, so this young Pacers squad will have to win in Orlando if they want to take the series.

    • This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.
    • As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.
    • I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
