Hawks-Magic Preview

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) There has been no crowd for the games the Orlando Magic have been playing lately. No officials. No true opponent.

Not even a clock.

``That's the worst part,'' guard Vince Carter said. ``You wish there was a clock up there and you could see it tick down. It's not. There's not even a score. It's just go, go, go.''

Practice time is finally over.

When the Magic open their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, eight days will have passed since they swept Charlotte. The Hawks needed the full seven games to get by undermanned Milwaukee, meaning they got a turnaround of little more than 48 hours.

The contrasting layoffs heading into the best-of-seven series between the Southeast Division rivals make for intriguing dilemmas.

The Magic have been simulating opponents' players in practice. They studied film and prepared last week as if they were facing Milwaukee when the Bucks led the series 3-2, then threw that information away, practicing late Sunday just so they could wait until Game 7 finished.

The time off has been longer than anything they've experienced this season - even during training camp.

``It felt like we had went fishing for a minute,'' Orlando's Dwight Howard said, chuckling. ``We was at home chilling. Everybody was at home like, 'When do we play again?'''

Now they know.

The Hawks had a tougher-than-expected series against a Milwaukee team missing star center Andrew Bogut. But Atlanta returned from a monumental Game 5 collapse to run away with the last two and build some momentum heading to Orlando.

Far healthier than a year ago when they were swept by Cleveland in the second round, the Hawks have no overlying injuries. They also have had almost no time to prepare for a team that has dominated them of late.

``It can go against you or it can help you,'' Hawks coach Mike Woodson said of the layoff. ``If your team is banged up, they had a good week to heal some wounds. Sometimes layoffs can hurt you as well. As a coach I'm going in knowing they're ready to play, without a doubt.''

The Hawks had lost six straight regular-season games to the Magic until their last meeting, when Josh Smith swooped in to dunk Joe Johnson's miss ahead of the buzzer for an 86-84 win. Atlanta now hopes to keep Dwight Howard in his current foul-trouble funk to knock off the defending Eastern Conference champions.

Otherwise, it could be trouble.

Howard has been a matchup nightmare for several seasons now against his hometown team. Atlanta's undersized centers, led by Al Horford, have struggled to contain Howard, and the NBA's two-time defensive player of the year has forced the Hawks out of the paint.

But Howard was sidelined in constant foul trouble in the Magic's first-round sweep of Charlotte, continually complaining about officiating. Howard, who shot just 37 percent on free throws in the series, was pushed and pulled any time he had the ball near the rim, and his frustration simmered.

The Hawks want to continue Charlotte's formula.

``The bottom line is you've got to be physical,'' Atlanta's Zaza Pachulia said. ``The flopping thing won't work. You've got to be physical.

``He's strong and athletic and runs the floor pretty well, but nobody is perfect,'' Pachulia added. ``He has his minuses, too. We've got to use that to our advantage. We can't let him have too many dunks. If he has a wide-open dunk, we have to put him on the free-throw line.''

Howard is taking extra measures to regain his focus, even if it's not always so easy against Atlanta.

Howard had a Hawks jersey growing up with his name stitched on it, so there's always a sentimental feeling against his hometown team. He's usually swarmed by friends and family when he faces Atlanta, although he insists this time will be different.

``I'm not doing none of that stuff,'' Howard said. ``I turned my phones off. You want to get in contact with me, you better scream through the TV and hope I hear you.''

The Magic have won 10 straight games, yet coach Stan Van Gundy - a constant worrier - cautioned his team not to feel like they were on ``vacation'' during their long break. Although players admit it will be strange not having a practice or day off come Tuesday night.

It will have been 13 days since they had a game in Orlando, so even returning to their home arena might be an odd feeling. One thing they won't miss is having to play against each other.

``We're pretty tired of that,'' Carter said. ``A real game will be a welcome site.''

Howard, Magic dominate Hawks, take opener in laugher

By Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com

ORLANDO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Atlanta Hawks lost their offense somewhere Tuesday night, and they are going to have to find it to avoid getting embarrassed by the Orlando Magic in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

The Hawks never recovered from a scoreless stretch of nearly six minutes in the second quarter and were beaten down 114-71 in the series opener.

Dwight Howard had a dominant game for the Magic with 21 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. All five of his blocks came in the first half, which ended with the Magic leading, 53-33.

After scoring only 10 points in the second quarter and 11 in the third quarter, the Hawks were looking up from a 46-point deficit at one point.

"The thing we talked about in the seven or eight days (since their last series) is when we have a lead, we have to dominate and not give them any confidence," Howard said.

If the Hawks found any confidence Tuesday night, it's hard to see where.

"We came out ready to play (in the first quarter), but we had nothing the rest of the way," said Hawks coach Mike Woodson. "We had no juice tonight. We'll have to go back and regroup. We didn't play Atlanta Hawks basketball tonight. It was an ugly game for us on both ends of the floor."

After being limited to 26.5 minutes per game in the Magic's first-round sweep of Charlotte, Howard played the first 21 minutes Tuesday night.

Coach Stan Van Gundy's plan was to take him out after three minutes of the second quarter, but at that point the Magic were taking off on a 17-0 run.

"That group was rolling along so well," Van Gundy said. "I kept asking my assistant coaches: 'Should we give Dwight a rest?' They said no, let it ride, and we did it.

"I finally got him out late in the quarter because I really started to see some fatigue, and I probably got a little lucky the game went the way it did. I could have worn him down a little there. That was probably three or four minutes too long in that one stretch."

Especially for the Hawks.

Dunking three times and blocking two shots, Howard was the centerpiece of the big second-quarter rally that blew the game open.

One of the blocks launched a fast break that ended in a spectacular alley-oop dunk by Mickael Pietrus, causing an Atlanta timeout and a long standing ovation.

By then the Magic were rolling with 13 straight points and a 40-27 lead.

"Things happen for a reason, and I understand that," said Howard, who was needed for only eight minutes of the second half. "It was a good thing that Marcin (Gortat) and the other guys got a chance to play in that first series, and I was well rested for tonight."

Howard's three dunks in the second quarter demonstrated how overmatched the Hawks were at the center position. He reached over Zaza Pachulia for the first one, got a running start to leap over Al Horford on the next one, then pumped in the air to draw a foul on Josh Smith while dunking for a 46-31 Magic lead.

Josh Smith scored 10 of his team-leading 14 points in the first quarter for the Hawks, who didn't reach the 50-point mark until Jeff Teague hit a 3-pointer with 8:20 left in the game.

"I think the challenge is not to get carried away with the score," Van Gundy said. "It was one of those nights when everything snowballed. Now the challenge is to get their heads right for Game 2. In the playoffs, the margin means absolutely nothing."

If he needs a historical reference to motivate his team for Thursday night, Van Gundy might mention the Magic's biggest playoff victory margin ever, a 47-point win over the Boston Celtics in the playoff opener here on April 28, 1995.

They lost the next game.

"A team has to win four before they move on, and that was one," said Mike Bibby, who scored two points in 19 minutes. "They embarrassed us, but we have another one on Thursday and we will get ready for that."
