The Magic sure did look great in wiping the floor with the Bobcats and Hawks in the first two rounds of the NBA playoffs.
Now that they are facing a championship caliber team like the Celtics, the bravado and confidence they oozed in the opening rounds has disappeared. The Magic are struggling on both ends of the floor and now find themselves down 0-2 to the Celtics with the series returning to Boston on Saturday.
Boston's ability to get crucial stops and find ways to manufacture important baskets has exposed the Magic as pretenders and it looks like the Eastern Finals will be nothing more than a tune-up for the Celtics before taking on the winner of the Lakers-Suns series in the Finals.
