It is looking very likely that the Magic are going to sweep out Charlotte in their first playoff incarnation as the Bobcats.
They were a little more true to form in Game 2 but are still not getting a ton out of Dwight Howard. He had his chances but shot an ugly 5-12 from the charity stripe. A performance like that would likely mean a loss against a better team but Charlotte let the Magic get away with it.
Orlando led this one the whole way and was barely pushed so it is not surprising that Vince Carter led the Magic in points with 19.
This is proving to be a nice tuneup series for Orlando and not much more..
If Stephen Jackson were on a really good team people would talk about like they do Carmelo Anthony.
He had another big game but the rest of the team phoned it in. Only two other players broke double figures including Nazi Mohammed…yes him. Ouch. Boris Diaw has completely disappeared.
He averaged 11ppg in the regular season but has only 11 points in the first two games combined. 
Ray Felton was even worse than Diaw in Game 2 with only 4 points and the yo-you performances continue.
This team has some nice pieces but seems awkwardly put together. Maybe they are waiting for MJ to leap the scorers table.
They need something dramatic happen or they will be eliminated without a wimper.

Free Bobcats vs. Magic NBA Pick
Charlotte should be fired up for some playoff basketball but this is an experienced Magic team that won’t be intimidated on the road. Can the Bobcats really stifle Superman for three games in a row. The odds of that as well as winning this series are not in their favour.
Look for a tighter game than the first two with Orlando emerging victorious to take a commanding three games to none lead in the series.
Game 3 Score Prediction: Orlando 97 – Charlotte 92.
