Magic fans fired up for big Game 3

Nothing says playoff excitement like getting a "Go Magic" sign stolen from your lawn.

Magic chief operating officer Alex Martins was the victim of the dastardly deed during the first round against Philadelphia, but he says with a laugh, "I don't mind people taking them off my front lawn if they put them on their front lawn."


Martins has more than made up for it.

After the Magic beat the Celtics in Game 7, he arrived home to see seven signs on his lawn, courtesy of his wife and kids.

"I had about a half-dozen in my garage to give to those who wanted them and when I drove into my driveway at 4:30 in morning after coming back from Boston ... my wife and children were so excited they put them all out. It put a smile on my face at a time I was dragging from the trip."

The Magic have put smiles on fans' faces throughout Central Florida. Now that they are getting ready to host the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, it is easier to see that excitement building.....
