It is time. The high stress, all-out basketball playing is now. The NBA playoffs have started and they kicked off with our very own Orlando Magic vs. the Atlanta Hawks! The big question is will the Magic win?
Before the first game in the Magic/ Hawks series, I thought that the Magic would come into the playoffs with a great lead. Sadly, even though they have beaten us three times in the regular season, we have only beat them once. Every magic fan, including me, around the world thought the Magic would pull through.
Saturday, the 16th at 7 pm, was the Magic’s first playoff game. You could tell from the beginning of the game that the Magic just weren’t into it. The Hawks started out with the early lead. But by the end of the first we were up 17 to 19 . Then by the half we lost it. Once the Hawks took the lead they made sure they kept it.
The second game had finally arrived and even though the Magic lost the first game I still had hope that the Magic would pull off this win. This game was another close ice-breaking game. In the first quarter they had the lead but coach Stan wanted this game more than anything. After that quarter the Magic caught up and took the lead. The ending score was an eight point deficit. Before the game, the Magic’s own Dwight Howard earned his third defensive player of the year award in a row!
By the time you read this, most of the games will be over with. But  my prediction for the next games are that the Magic will pull through and win against the Hawks. Hopefully Dwight Howard can play his spectacular defense and shut them down. So for all the Magic fans here LET’S GO MAGIC!
