The Orlando Magic were considered by many to be an elite team that had a great shot at knocking off the Cavaliers or Celtics and making it to the NBA Finals. They won 59 games in the regular season and were led by a dominant big man in Dwight Howard. The Sixers limped into the playoffs with a .500 record and were simply happy to be there and not expected to do much of anything in the playoffs without Elton Brand. Three games into this first round series and you would swear these two teams swi...

    Without KG, the Celts are ripe for the picking!

      Lowe is out too, he ain't no KG but it still will have an adverse affect on the Celts.

      Don't blame me for that, Yardbarker decided to change my original Article Title from "Young, Sixers shock Magic to take series lead" to what it is now!

        That's my fault. I must have hit the "0" when I dashed and didn't pick up on it until you already did.

        BTW, great point that the Magic were expected to cruise through this series since Philly kinda limped in. I expected the same thing but have been very pleased with how together the Sixers are playing. And I love watching SVG squirm and blame his players for all of this.

    Great win tonight, young team showing a lot of character. Iguodala redeeming himself after a terrible series against the Pistons last year. But D12's dunk over Ratliff was RIDICULOUS!

    Even if the Magic win this series, like I always knew, Orlando is a fraud...good luck Sixers, would be a great achievement for this young Team

    Magic is not a playoff team.Their 3's just dazzled people's eyes but lil' D on the shooters can stop them just like Philly doing.

    With that tremendous comeback in the first game the sixers really believe they are the better team and are now playing like it.
