New Look Magic stop Streaking Boston Celtics

A good move perhaps? After all the trading the Orlando Magic has done on its lineup. Maybe we are beginning to see the fruits of those trades. After defeating the league leading San Antonio Spurs the Magic then snaps Bostons 14 winning game streak with a 86-78 win, and they won this one with Howard playing most of the game with foul trouble and scoring only 6 points. The Magic led by Bass 21 points and old reliable Turkoglu with 16 points. Kevin Garnet top scored for Boston with 22 points. After struggling early in the season the Magic decided to change their roster and traded Lewis for Arenas and send Carter, Pietrus and Gortat for Richardson, Turkoglu and Clark.

WIFEY AND DWIGHT HOWARD

Yup, it,s the Orlando Magic's center Dwight Howard, well it's not the real one, just a replica. I ask the Adidas store personnel if this mannequin is a replica of the real thing and they said yes. They said it has the same height and built as the real thing. So i had my wife stand next to it, just to see how tall and big Dwight really is hahahha, and boy this guy is big and tall.

Ohh, speaking of the Magic, they are down 0-2 against the surging Celtics, by the look of things, maybe we'll have a rematch between the Laker's and the Celtics come June. But though it's too early to tell, but if the Magic and Suns wont win game 3, it will be a tall order to come back from a 0-3 deficit and win it all. Not with the way the Laker's and Celtic's are playing.

SUNS, MAGIC AND LAKERS ADVANCE TO NEXT ROUND VIA SWEEP

Phoenis Suns won against the San Antonio Spurs 4-0, the Phoenix suns finally gets to defeat their long time nemesis the spurs, not even with Steve Nash having to play with an almost close right eye can stop the suns. Well for the aging Spurs it's a sorry loss, having acquire Richard Jefferson is still not enough to for the Spurs. For the Suns their reward for having defeated the Spurs is the defending Champs, The Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers sweep the Utah Jazz 4-0 but compared to the other two who advance to the next round, the Jazz really put up a good fight against the champ. But I guess having been push to the limit by their first round opponent the Thunder, the Lakers where just to focus to be defeated in this one. My favorite game is the game 3 between the two, wooow it was a see saw battle right to the very second. But i guess that loss really took the wind out of the Jazz. With the Lakers win, all they need to do is defeat the Suns to go back to the NBA finals.

On the East the Orlando Magic has yet to be defeated on the playoff, they are already 8-0 after sweeping the Atlanta Hawks 4-0. this one was just a lopsided match, I didn't even bother watching the game, after seeing how the Magic demolish the Hawks. And maybe with the addition of Vince Carter and a healthy Jameer Nelson, maybe this time they'll win it all. But that remains to be seen since their other opponent the Cavaliers and the Celtics are lock in 2 games a piece and by the look of things maybe we'll be seeing another game 7 showdown between these two.
