Post Blow Out Reactions

Dwight Howard tried to play it cool during the press conference and say nobody hung their heads low, its still a long series . . . . spare me. Stan Van Gundy also tried to play it cool, joking that game 2 is important, game 3 is important, game 4 is important, you get the picture. I'm pretty sure the Magic are done.

The stat everyone keeps talking about is Phil Jackson's teams are 43-0 in playoff series after winning the first game. Lets put that Orlando friendly statistic aside for a second and just analyze last nights game. Here is my expert analysis: The Lakers dominated, Dwight Howard did nothing, the Lakers won by 25 points.

The Magic can claim it was just one game, its a long series all they want. The Lakers just planted a seed in Orlando's head. Also, its not going to be a long series if you get blown out in 4 games. They talk about it like its guaranteed to go 7 games.
