Sunday evening will feature a game between the Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers in Florida.
It could end up being an intense and close match for the two exciting teams.
But if Paul Pierce were playing, he would be taking it easy on Saturday night and seeing the sights of Orlando.
That is what the former NBA player said to Kevin Garnett, via All the Smoke Productions on Twitter.
He said that he would be more focused on visiting bars, restaurants, and Disney World instead of getting ready to beat the Magic.
Garnett pushed back against Pierce and said that he thinks the Magic will win Sunday’s game because other teams don’t respect them.
“This is why Orlando smacks people. The blatant disrespect when coming to Orlando,” Garnett said.

Will the Pacers fall into the trap heading into tomorrow’s matchup?

For years, the Magic were one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference.
Therefore, when other squads came to town they felt laid back, unbothered, and more concerned with exploring the city than preparing for a game.
There are a lot of wonderful attractions to visit when in Orlando, such as Universal Studios, Disney World, and many other theme parks.
In the past, this was where NBA stars would spend their time.
But things have changed and the Magic aren’t rollovers anymore.
Instead, this is a very competitive and promising up-and-coming team.
They are the fifth seed in the East and have a bunch of great young players, including Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero.
If the Pacers take Pierce’s advice and enjoy the city of Orlando instead of prepping for a game, they could be walking into a huge trap.
Disrespect against the Magic is starting to fall away as the team earns more and more wins, and if they have a strong playoff run this year, it might be gone entirely.
