An Old Fashioned......Beat-down.....in 2009?

Amway Arena........Orlando, Florida......

An NBA basketball game was played here, Friday night. The game pitted the number one team in the division (Orlando Magic) and "man child" Dwight Howard (pictured) against the number two team (Atlanta Hawks).

And when it was mercifully over........the Magic put a little space between themselves and the rest of the division.....most notably .......the young, athletic.......Atlanta Hawks.

122-87..............

And it wasn't even that close. Several times in this game, the Hawks trailed by over 50 points....yes......."fiddie"........

At the end of the first quarter, it was 41-18..........Magic.

By the half .......it was 71-33........Magic........and the rout was on.

In the end........when all was said and done........The Hawks attempted ....or put up 80 shots.....only to have 28 go through the basket for two pointers.

Meanwhile, the Magic scored at will..........putting up 83 shots with 40 going in for two's......and astounding 16 of 28 three pointers going in.

The good thing about the NBA? And the scheduling? No time to dwell in sorrow. Tomorrow means another city..........another game.

For these young Hawks...........this is a good thing.....

A beat-down in Orlando?

Shit happens........
