The Magic were leading this game 71-69 heading into the 4th quarter and then the roof caved in on them.  They were outscored 36-16 in the 4th quarter and it did them in, ending their season tonight.  Jameer Nelson led the way for the Magic with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals tonight.  Glen Davis (15 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocked shots), Ryan Anderson (14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 blocked shot) and J.J. Redick (12 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists) also pitched in for the Magic tonight.  The Magic lost this series 4-1 to the Pacers.

The Magic outscored the Pacers 28-16 to get the game into O.T. yesterday, but then they got outscored 12-10 and it killed them.  Jason Richardson (25 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) and Glen Davis (24 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal) led the way for the Magic in this game.  Jameer Nelson only shot 4 of 15 from the floor in this game, but he still finished up with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.  Hedo Turkoglu (11 points), Ryan Anderson (11 points) and J.J. Redick (10 points) also pitched in for the Magic yesterday.  The Magic are now down 3-1 to the Pacers in this series.

26-year old Glen Davis is playing out of position at center for the Magic in the playoffs and he’s looking good.  Davis has started 3 games for the Magic against the Pacers so far in the first round of the playoffs and he is averaging 37.0 minutes, 18.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.3 blocked shots per game.  He is only shooting 42.6% from the floor, but that’s nitpicking as he has been by far the best offensive player for the Magic so far in the playoffs.

The Magic were outrebounded 46-33 earlier tonight and it did them in.  Glen Davis came to play tonight as he led the way for the Magic with 22 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.  J.J. Redick (13 points and 1 assist) and Jameer Nelson (10 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal) also pitched in for the Magic tonight.  The Magic are now down 2-1 in this series.

Starting power forward Ryan Anderson is getting pushed around by Pacers’ David West in this series so far.  Anderson has played in 2 games (both starts) for the Magic so far in the playoffs and he is averaging 33.0 minutes, 8.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.0 steal per game.  The Magic need Anderson to step up if they are going to have any hope at an upset over the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.  Anderson played in 61 games (all starts) for the Magic during the regular season and he averaged 32.2 minutes, 16.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.  The Magic need Anderson to get back to the player he was during the regular season.

The Magic only shot 35.5% from the floor last night and it killed them.  They were outscored 30-13 in the 3rd quarter and they couldn’t recover from it.  Glen Davis led the way for the Magic in this game with 18 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  J.J. Redick (13 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists) and Jameer Nelson (12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) also had solid games for the Magic.  Ryan Anderson (11 points) and Hedo Turkoglu (10 points) also pitched in for the Magic.  The Magic are now tied up at 1 win apiece in this series as it shifts to Orlando.

The Magic played great D as they held the Pacers to a paltry 34.5% shooting from the floor last night, which helped them pull a major upset in Game #1 of this series.  Jason Richardson (17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals) and Jameer Nelson (17 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists) led the way for the Magic last night.  Glen Davis was a beast in the paint for the Magic in this game as he finished up with 16 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocked shots.  The Magic are up 1-0 in this series due to their impressive play last night.

The Magic played good defense last night as they held the Hawks to 39.2% shooting from the floor but it still wasn’t good enough to win.  Dwight Howard led the way for the Magic last night with 25 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocked shots.  Hedo Turkoglu also had a decent night with 15 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 4 steals in this game.  Jameer Nelson pitched in with 11 points, 6 assists and 3 steals.  The Magic’s season is now over as the Hawks beat them 4-2 in this series.

The Magic built up a 79-53 lead after the first three quarters before they called off the dogs.  The Magic played great D last night as they held the Hawks to only 36.2%  shooting from the floor.  With Dwight Howard pretty much a non-factor in this game due to foul trouble, some other guys had to step up.  Jason Richardson led the way for the Magic last night with 17 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.  J.J. Redick pitched in with 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 19 minutes off the bench.  Ryan Anderson also had a solid game off the bench for the Magic last night with 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.  The Magic are now down 3-2 in this series to the Hawks but last night’s win has to build some confidence for them.

It’s desperation time for the Orlando Magic right now, so they should give Gilbert Arenas a shot to shine tonight.  Arenas came alive in Game #4 for the Magic and he almost brought them all the way back.  He had 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot in only 22 minutes in that game.  Arenas has now played in 3 games (0 starts) in this series against the Hawks and he is averaging 13.7 minutes, 9.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.  With the way the shooting guards are playing in this series, it’s time to turn Agent Zero loose.
