Magic destroys Hawks in a 43 point blowout  

Orlando really played so great in that game and Atlanta on the other hand played so bad. That was just so tragic for the Hawks. The Magic took control of the game in the second and third quarter and Atlanta on the other hand really struggled in their shots. Dwight Howard, Vince Carter, and Jameer Nelson played so great for the Magic. After a long rest after sweeping the Charlotte Bobcats in the first round, all the Magic need to warm up was the first quarter and they took everything to the Hawks. Everybody in the Hawks struggled and it's up to Mike Woodson, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Jamal Crawford to make the necessary adjustments to counter the deep Orlando Magic in game 2. Another sweep is highly probable if the Magic plays at such a high level.

That was not the Hawks in game 1. I think that they will bounce back. They needs rest physically and mentally to bring back form after a tiring 7 game series with the Milwaukee Bucks. And for them to be successful in the next games, they should contain Dwight Howard as he did dominate the Hawks' defenders in the paint. Joe Johnson will step up in the process. The long rest for the Magic and the tiring series of the Hawks from game 1 is the cause that the Hawks disappear in game 1.

yes i expected this from msgic.
