Magic-Bobcats Preview

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Dwight Howard was the last player off the practice court Sunday, then went straight to the locker room for a personalized film session.

The featured attraction for the Orlando center: A collage of his elbows and shoves that have put him in permanent foul trouble in the Magic's first-round playoff series against Charlotte.

``Everybody's trying to tell me what I need to do, what I should do,'' Howard said. ``I think I just can't allow myself to get frustrated. That's the biggest part.''

The good news for the four-time All-Star is the Magic have been able to overcome his long stretches strapped to the bench, and Vince Carter's shooting slump, to be on the verge of a sweep of the Bobcats ahead of Game 4 on Monday night.

No NBA team has blown a 3-0 series lead, and the Magic are a win away from the second round despite Howard playing just 82 of 144 minutes and Carter going 0 of 12 from 3-point range.

``We have a lot of weapons,'' said Carter, shooting 33 percent from the field. ``We have a lot of guys who can put the ball in the basket. It's a blessing.''

Raymond Felton and the Bobcats know about that. Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson has taken over the scoring load, dominating Felton in what's been the series' biggest mismatch.

Nelson is averaging 25.7 points and has just three turnovers in nearly 109 minutes. He had 32 points and no turnovers on Saturday, when Orlando closed on an 11-6 run after Howard fouled out in a 90-86 victory.

``I'm not out there trying to shoot every shot,'' Nelson said. ``It just happens that sometimes you have to, especially if you have it going.''

The finish on Saturday in the 6-year-old Bobcats' first home playoff game had coach Larry Brown still steaming a day later. After the NBA's premier shot blocker fouled out, four of Charlotte's final six shots were 3-point attempts, including Stephen Jackson's miss with Charlotte trailing 85-84 with under 30 seconds left.

All-Star Gerald Wallace, the teams' best at driving to the basket, didn't take a shot in the fourth quarter.

``It hasn't been the defense that has let us down,'' Brown said. ``Defensive rebounds have been a problem. Turnovers have been a problem. And I think more than anything is poor execution on offense.''

The Bobcats had their own painful film session Sunday. Brown said the Magic don't respect Charlotte's outside shooters other than Jackson and D.J. Augustin. The Bobcats have been slow in reading help-side defense and ball movement has been poor.

``What we saw on offense is we've got to move the ball sooner with better spacing, but we've got to have better organization,'' Brown said.

It's been a difficult playoff debut for the Bobcats, whose offensive woes have overshadowed a solid defensive effort in a series where no team has reached 100 points.

The Bobcats have used a trio of centers in Theo Ratliff, Tyson Chandler and Nazr Mohammed. They haven't contributed anything on offense, but have baited Howard into silly frustration fouls in the post.

``My teammates are saying, 'Why you got to fight all the time?''' Howard said. ``I'm like, 'Playing basketball, you don't want nobody to think that you're weak and soft out there.' So sometimes you're going to battle, especially when you're going against older guys and you're the youngest one out there.

``I just have to not get into a wrestling match and just play ball.''

Howard insisted after Saturday's game that he doesn't watch video of his fouls, but coach Stan Van Gundy stressed Sunday that was going to change. Howard's film session Sunday came after an extended period alone on the floor working on his woeful free-throw shooting (11 of 28 in the series).

``They've got three (centers) and they don't care if they foul,'' Van Gundy said. ``So if they're down there and they're going to wrestle, if half the calls go each way, Dwight's the loser in that.

``Even if probably two-thirds of the calls go Dwight's way, he's the loser. He has to be a lot more careful.''

Van Gundy stressed the Magic want to close out the series here and not have to rely on returning home for Game 5 on Wednesday. With the way the Magic are playing - they're the hottest team in the NBA with nine straight wins dating to the regular season - the Bobcats face the prospect of being the first team eliminated from this year's playoffs.

``In hockey, teams have come from three down and won. In baseball, the Red Sox came from three down and won,'' said Brown, digging deep for a motivational tool. ``Hopefully, we can start with the first possession and try to play and make this series go a little bit longer. That's my message to them.''

Magic 3-ball leads Orlando to first-round sweep of Bobcats

By Derek S. Smith, for NBA.com

CHARLOTTE (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Orlando Magic again showed their depth and versatility.

Vince Carter scored 21 points while Jameer Nelson added 18 including a key basket late in the game to pick up a 99-90 win Monday. With the win, Orlando becomes the only team in the 2010 playoffs to earn a first-round sweep while the Bobcats failed to pick up a victory in the franchise's first-ever playoff appearance.

"That was a very difficult series," Stan Van Gundy said. "We struggled to score points and get shots. They had a great game plan in the series and both teams played extremely hard. I was proud of our intensity and resolve."

Nelson highlighted a 10-0 Orlando run with a three from the top of the key with 4:53 remaining, giving the Magic an 86-76 lead and effectively sapping all the remaining energy from both Time Warner Cable Arena and the Charlotte Bobcats season. The Orlando point guard finished with a series-best 23.8 ppg picking up some offensive slack from his Magic teammates.

Charlotte had cut the lead to a single point at 77-76, but the Magic again proved to be deadly from behind the arc. Mickael Pietrus drained threes on back-to-back possessions to squash the Bobcats momentum. Orlando sank a series-best 13 from behind the arc and made 45 over the four games in the series.

The Bobcats tried to make another run early in the fourth quarter but were stymied by an unusual set of fouls. Carter was fouled by Tyson Chandler. The Charlotte center was actually whistled for both a personal foul and a flagrant foul on the play. Carter made the two free throws, but the Magic was unable to capitalize allowing Charlotte to stay in the game.

The Magic took the lead for good in the final game of the series at the 9:09 mark of the third. Carter sank his first three of the series after missing his first 15. He finished the series 1-for-17 from the three-point line.

The Bobcats game plan all series was to frustrate and attack Dwight Howard. The Magic center became increasingly frustrated during the series and was limited to just 27 minutes and 9.8 points per game, and fouled out for the second straight game.

"If you had told me that (Dwight Howard) would have averaged well under 30 minutes for the series and gotten a sweep I would have said that there was no way that could have happened," Van Gundy quipped.

Orlando now has the opportunity to get some rest before hosting either Atlanta or Milwaukee in the second round while the Bobcats have a lot to learn from their first visit to the playoffs.

"They are a great team," Brown said. "They are really well coached and they aren't one dimensional. A lot of players really stepped up for them. They know how to play playoff basketball and we're still learning. We have a lot of guys that were in this for the first time. We have to have a group step up and play at a high level. Not just one or two guys each night. They never quit and we played hard."

One question that will remain for the Charlotte franchise is the status of Coach Brown. Rumors of his desire to take a front office job with either Philadelphia or the Los Angeles Clippers have persisted since before the All-Star break.

"I'm not coaching anywhere else but Charlotte," Brown reiterated. "Now am I going to go home and talk to my wife? I'm almost 70 and I've got two young kids. Am I going to talk to them and find out what I need to do and am I going to talk to Michael (Jordan)? Yeah, absolutely. But I'm not coaching anywhere unless it's for Michael Jordan if he wants me and I can work it out with my family."
