GAME RECAP

Carmelo, Jennings and Thornton were just too much. And the lack of an additional star player to compensate was also too much. Steve Nash dropped 2 clutch threes to salvage at least a respectable score out of this game, and D12 scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebs. But the rest of the team did rather poorly. That's something for the management to think about in the off-season. And then there's the trio for the Bucks - Melo, Jennings and Thornton combined for 22 points and it was just enough for the Bucks to win on home court. And other than that it was a pretty uneventful match. And the Magic's problem has appeared to be fouling. The Bucks scored 11(!) of their points on free throws. Although we have the defensive player of the year in Dwight Howard, the rest of the team is rather average on defense and self control. And it was enough for the Magic to be eliminated. Roll on to next year, I guess.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

And again it's Dwight Howard. I don't know what we would do without him. The Magic are going to look for all the time possible to be spent with him, and he might just be the player who stays with the Magic for his entire career.
