4 Quarters - East 1st Round- Magic vs Pacers


6. Magic vs 3. Pacers
  1. Can the Magic actually make some noise in the playoffs without Howard? - No, I believe that the Magic are done. I mean it would take a massive collapse from the Pacers for the Magic to win without Howard.
  2. How dangerous are the Pacers in this series and beyond? - Depends on if the Pacers can finish this series in 5 games or less. If the Pacers finish early, this could be dangerous for the other teams. Considering that the Pacers/Magic winner would face the winner of Knicks/Heat series, which may go the distance. Much rest if they finish early.
  3. Youth vs. Experience - Magic experience in the playoffs could be the only advantage they may have to use against the Pacers youth.
  4. Will this be the last time we see this Magic team as presently constituted? -  A lot of questions will be answered after this season, one being will Howard be traded? Will Nelson opt out and go somewhere else? Will Stan Van Gundy return? All of that will make this off-season very interesting in the Magic Kingdom.

Confidence Pick: Magic (39), Pacers (32)

Series Prediction: Pacers in 6
