Haha, doubt it. So far it's a close one.

 

Just wait for the Magic's 30-4 run =0

 

Really though, it's been a good game so far. I'm enjoying it. I like how Howard is playing in this gfame; scoring when needed and passing it out of the double-team effectively almost every time so far. I just wish he had more moves than the face up, 2 step hook shot. It's a little predictable.

What a joke...Atlanta just sucked the 2nd half.

You got that right. I turned the game off and started playing some Call of Duty thinking we had the game, after seeing how we ended the first half. It looked like we couldn't hit a shot to save our life. I just don't get how the Magic can lose to Miami and then come to Atlanta and just destroy us at home, where we play best at. Makes no sense considering the amount of time we had to prepare for the game.

Am I the only person who feels uneasy when Carter has the ball in his hands? Assuming I was a Magic fan, I'd be begging him to pass it a bit more. There was a stretch in that first half (near the end of it) where Carter threw up maybe 3-4 consecutive misses, and I'm not even sure if he was looking to pass at all.

 

I really think he would thrive playing off Howard. I know Carter wants to attack the rim, or create his own shot...but he'd be dangerous playing off the ball.

I actually didn't see that. I took a nap near the end of the 2nd quarter and woke up in the 3rd. But yeah, he had another unimpressive shooting game. I was being more critical of Rashard though, when will he break out of this slump.. he did have a couple nice moves in the post though. I do remember last year, in the first couple months, Turk and Shard both had low shooting percentages then they both improved. Wonder if it's the same deal.

See, that's pretty bad, in my eyes. I understand that he's an all-star, but it's only the second quarter, you're only down ten, and he's not a superstar. Plenty of scoring options on the Magic, even with Nelson out.

He was an all star not any more, now he is just a role player that like to jack up bad shots.
