Magic Fight Off Elimination

Going into their Eastern Conference finals matchup against the Boston Celtics, the Orlando Magic were NBA betting enthusiasts safe bet for a return to the NBA Finals. However, going into game four last night in Boston, the Magic had gone easy on the Celtics, as they gave them a three to nothing series lead. In each of the first three games, the Celtics were able to dominate the Magic, who would not show up until the fourth quarter in each of the first two games. But, in the third game, the Celtics were able to embarrass the Magic, providing a nostalgic moment for the diehards as the Magic had not looked as bad as they did in game three since the 2003-2004 season which saw them finish last in the league that season.

NBA playoff betting fans, should note that although the Magic finally showed up for game four, no team has come back in the history of the NBA after being down three to nothing. This year, could be different, because if any team should be able to come all the way back, it should be the Magic. After such a dominating performance in the regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs, the Magic have never had to come from behind. Essentially if statistics can prove anything it is that this Magic team is too good to be finished in five games, and may become the first team in NBA history to come all the way back from being down three games to nothing. After winning last night, if the team can play as motivated the rest of the way through, Magic fans and basketball betters alike may witness history, as they still have the best odds of returning to the NBA finals.
