Orlando needs to move the ball. They are sorely missing Jameer Nelson tonight and probably will miss him for awhile. I haven't seen the ball move side to side at all allowing the Hawks defense to continually be set and ready to help throughout a 24 sec possession. They need to move Dwight Howard around as well. Put him in some positions to screen for some of these shooters and get the wings from the Hawks moving on defense. Right now they look very stagnant.
Defensively, Josh Smith hasn't been able to attack Rashard Lewis as effectively as the Hawks thought he could. It's obvious this was Woodson's plan in the first half. But what has happened is that the Magic's rotations out of their doubles have left their guards with a dilemma of covering either Joe Johnson or Mike Bibby, a pick your poison choice. I wouldnt be surprised to see Van Gundy start to double the pick and rolls and get the ball out of Bibby and Johnson's hands and make Smith, Williams, and Horford have to make a play in the 2nd half.
