Bobcats-Magic Preview

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Matt Barnes sent the playful, trash-talking text messages and voice mails for a week until finally getting a call back from Stephen Jackson. The two shared a laugh, caught up and made plans to hang out in Orlando until Sunday evening.

Then their friendship will be put on hold.

``We know once that game starts,'' Jackson said, ``we're going to play like we don't know each other.''

The two best friends and former teammates give the first-round playoff matchup between Orlando and Charlotte a friendly-fiery subplot.

Barnes, the Magic's feisty forward, makes a living using his pushy play to irritate opponents. Jackson, the Bobcats' leading scorer and often emotional swingman, also loves to be the bully.

So with the best-of-seven series pitting them against each other, there's sure to be a clash with two of the NBA's most physical forwards and stingiest defensive teams.

``I'm sure it's going to get heated out there between us,'' Barnes said. ``We're both competitors, pretty much the same mentality, same kind of people. We both go out there and play as hard as we possibly can, and we have our team's back. If that's a bad thing, I don't want to be good.''

There's also a parallel between their friendship and this series.

The two were playing for Golden State in 2007 when the eighth-seeded Warriors upset the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks. With the seventh-seeded Bobcats in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history against the defending Eastern Conference champions, Jackson is looking to help Charlotte channel those memories.

Barnes wants to avoid them.

``The confidence level and the feeling that we're being overlooked is there,'' Jackson said. ``So there are lot of things similar to that.''

That might be where the similarities end.

Orlando has won 11 of its last 13 games against Charlotte, using Dwight Howard in the paint to punish the undersized Bobcats. The All-Star center has been a matchup nightmare for Charlotte, the main reason the Magic kept opposing shooters to an NBA-low 43.8 percent and freed up their offense to set a single-season record with 841 3-pointers made.

``Everybody knows what Orlando does,'' Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. ``They just do it so well.''

Realistic expectations couldn't be more different.

The Bobcats, under new majority owner Michael Jordan, had just their first winning season in six years as a franchise. The Magic, who lost to the Lakers in last year's NBA finals, retooled their roster - most notably acquiring Vince Carter - and will only be satisfied with a championship celebration.

``I wasn't happy last year,'' Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. ``I wasn't at the end. I wasn't happy because we were there and had an opportunity and didn't play well. I think the way we're all made up is anything short of winning it and we're not going to be happy.''

The Magic are still keeping things modest.

Asked how much hungrier they are this postseason, the always jovial and joking Howard couldn't resist.

``I'm very hungry. You guys should see the plate I have in there waiting on me to demolish now,'' he said, laughing. ``I have a full plate of ribs, chicken. Then I have another plate of vegetables. We're all hungry. Stan, he's hungry. He's been hungry all season.''

So were the Bobcats.

They've made great strides since acquiring Jackson from the Warriors in November. He's given his new team some swagger, and has Charlotte allowing a league-low 93.8 points per game.

``He's changed the whole mentality of that team,'' Barnes said.

So imagine Barnes' dilemma now that he's charged with slowing down Jackson.

Their bond goes beyond just being former teammates. Their families always have been close. Their mothers were friends, and Jackson and his family helped Barnes cope with his mother's death from cancer two years ago.

Barnes also was at Jackson's wedding last summer. The Charlotte swingman made plans to see Barnes' 1-year-old twins in Orlando this weekend in what figured to be a friendly get together.

That is, until tipoff.

``It's going to be a great battle to try to slow him down,'' Barnes said. ``He's definitely the leader of that offense. I'm going to do my best to slow him down and get him out of rhythm.

``I can't wait to mix it up with him.''

Nelson the hero in Game 1 win for Orlando

By Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com
Posted Sunday April 18, 2010 11:11PM

ORLANDO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The best playoff game of Jameer Nelson's career helped the Orlando Magic survive a shaky second half Sunday night and hold off the Charlotte Hornets, 98-89, in their playoff opener.

Nelson came through with 32 points and six assists and hit six straight free throws in the final 1:04, offsetting the foul trouble of Dwight Howard and the troubled shooting (4-for-19) of Vince Carter.

Playing their first playoff game ever, the Bobcats fell 22 points behind early in the second half before rallying behind Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton. Two free throws by Felton got Charlotte as close as four with 3:51 left.

"We came out a little nervous and they took advantage," said Wallace, who had 25 points and 17 rebounds. "They knew we were back on our heels and they came and attacked and made shots and put the pressure on us.

"They left it up to us to try to fight back into the game."

They might have made it all the way back if not for two "huge plays" cited by coach Larry Brown as the shots that killed the Bobcats -- 3-pointers by J.J. Redick and Mickael Pietrus. The off-balance shot by Pietrus put the Magic up by eight with 1:24 left.

The Bobcats' chances were also dealt a blow by a knee injury to Stephen Jackson, who played less than three minutes of the fourth quarter.

"I played through the whole third and played through the pain," said Jackson, who finished with 18 points and nine rebounds after a halftime diagnosis of a hyperextended left knee. "I know coach was looking out for me and didn't want me to get hurt, but I was fine . . . he knows how bad I want to play and be out there. It is over and done with."

Jackson said he will definitely play in Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Nelson, held out of the first three playoffs rounds by a torn labrum last year, dropped 14 points on the Bobcats in the first quarter and ended the first half with a buzzer-beating 35-foot bomb, giving the Magic a 59-43 lead.

"When I'm in an attack mode, we're pretty good offensively," Nelson said. "I just try to come out big and set the tone, whether it's shooting the ball like I did in the first half or just finding open guys. It just so happened that they were (double-teaming) Dwight and kind of left me open a lot in the first and second quarter."

If Nelson had his best playoff game, Howard had one of the strangest.

The NBA's leading rebounder and shot-blocker, Howard blocked seven of the Bobcats' first 23 shots and had eight blocks at halftime, only two short of the NBA playoff record.

But after the Magic stretched their lead to 22 points early in the second half, they went scoreless for a four-minute stretch that included Howard going to the bench with his fourth foul at 7:57 of the third quarter.

"That's why you get that 20-point lead," Nelson said, "just in case something like that happens."

The Magic were hanging on from that point, and Howard finished the game with only five points, seven rebounds and nine blocks.

"I knew it was going to be tough for me on the offensive end because of the way they were swarming and not letting me catch," Howard said. "I want to be able to change games on the defensive end. That's what wins.

"I kept telling our guys we have to step up our defensive game and not worry about offense. When we don't worry about offense and just worry about the defensive end, I think we're a pretty good team."

The Bobcats got them out of their game completely for long stretches of the second half, but they couldn't make up that big lead.

"We had to grind it out. After the first quarter our offense got a little bogged down, but we made enough plays," said Redick, who made two of the Magic's 13 3-pointers. "That's the type of team they are, capable of making runs. They're so good defensively that during a game, you're going to go through a stretch where you get locked down. During those stretches, you've got to get stops yourself."

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said he'll take it.

"We've got to adjust to a much more intense, much more physical defense," he said. "I think it's good that we got out with the win and experienced their defense and the way they're playing."
