09 Playoffs- 76ers Vs Magic playoff series thread

My Prediction: Magic in 7

 

[Darth Llama]

Magic in 5.

Sixers suck and the Magic have Howard. Philly doesn't have a prayer.

 

[Ronin]

That was a sweet dunk by Anthony Johnson!
Sixers up by two at the end of the first quarter.

 

[Ronin]

Halftime
Magic 50
76ers 46
Howard with 18 points and seven rebounds

 

[Sunburn]

I don't like Chris Webber on the halftime show. Why is he necessary? He is not very articulate or professional in my opinion. He's arguing with everyone very loudly and I can't understand what the hell anyone is saying over the roar.

 

[Ronin]

Magic blow a 18 point lead
Igoudala hit a incredible shot to potentially win the game.

Sixers win Game 1

Sixers are definitely a much better team when they can get up and down. Wonder what they'll do with Brand and his MASSIVE contract. I don't see a whole lotta takers for him, he seems like damaged goods at this point in his career.

Many fans here want Brand for Amare as the better fit for our franchise player Nash to build the next title contender with. I guess they'd even get two 1st roundsers from the Suns!

Wow, guess I was way off.

 

[Proteus]

76ers are up 60-49 after the 2nd quarter. 76ers are shooting 58%, Magic 46%.

 

[Proteus]

76ers up 80-77 after the 3rd quarter. The 76ers were up by 17 points in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Proteus]

76ers up 92-86 with 2:37 left in the 4th quarter.

 

[Proteus]

76ers are up 94-91 with 42.3 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Iguodala just missed both free throws again.

 

[Proteus]

76ers up 94-92 with 7.4 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Magic ball. Magic timeout.

 

[Shzm13]

Omg GREAT foul by Willie Greene!

MISS EM DWIGHT

 

[Shzm13]

Damnit, Howard ties it up with 6.9 left


PLENTY time for Iggy to get a shot off

 

[Proteus]

76ers and Magic tied at 94 with 6.9 seconds left in the 4th quarter as Howard hits 2 clutch free throws.

Tough loss for the Magic, although they deserved to lose basically - nobody but Howard showed up. I just bought tickets for Game 5 in Orlando - lower bowl, center pretty sweet seats. Taking my nephew for his 13th birthday Go MAGIC!

 

[elindholm]

Raise your hand if you think the Magic want to be compensating Rashard Lewis as a top-ten player for the next four years.

 

[Mulli]

Did Turkoglu really grab his jersey to show the world he played for Orlando? Not sure what the kids call that these days, I call it dopey.

 

[goldseraph]

He can do whatever he wants after making a last second 3 to save the series.
As for Rashard - yeah that was a laughably bad signing. Guy basically stands around and jacks up 3s, does nothing else particularly well, and they give him a max deal. Brilliant.

 

[phillycard]

We had our chances. That's all I can say. We'll see tomorrow.

The worst part is that Rashard and his contract will cost them Hedo.

 

[goldseraph]

Magic win! Was a good game, not really that memorable except Howard having a 24 and 24! Philly seemed to mail it in. I think orlando will close in game 6.
