It's on now, at least verbally. Whether the Magic can make any significant adjustments on the court to reverse their fortunes in Game 2 tonight remains to be seen, but they certainly have amped up their bravado. Rashard Lewis took exception to a comment made by Theo Ratliff on Sunday. "I just told Max to calm down, that (Lewis) was about to get a tech," Ratliff said. "There's no need for guys to come to my rescue. I mean, that's Rashard Lewis. He fouled me hard, but he's a three-man (small forward). It wasn't a big deal."

Ha ha, I've actually enjoyed all the trash talking in the playoffs this year.

Theo Ratliff? This guy hasn't been significant since gas prices were a buck fifty.

Of all the second round series, this has to be the least interesting. I guess trash talking would be the best way to get attention.

That is until Dwight Howard pulls a Superman again and slams Ratliff for a perfect 10 score.

Dwight Howard needs to play some physical defense before he gets my respect. Dunking is great for a show like the All Star game, but it has no place in the playoffs.

The Magic need to focus on defense. Period. End of story.

Ah, the joys of the NBA playoffs: Wizards bashing LeBron, Pistons and Magic trashing each other...

May 5, 2008  11:05 AM ET

A wise man once told me when I was trash talkin, "..the less you say, the less you have to take back.."

May 5, 2008  11:10 AM ET

Nothing to see here. Just two teams trying to create some buzz for their matchup.

*******************

Good one Theo, good one. But it's funny the "Max" comment came from a guy who is not exactly known for earning his contract either.
