Celtics vs Magic, Game 4 in Orlando

[LnGrrrR]

Will the Celtics play like beasts, as in Game 2, or will they roll over and get stomped as in Game 3?

I'm sure each coach has made some adjustments... now it's up to the players on the court to fulfill their roles.

Game on!

[LnGrrrR]

Blah. Crappy ticky-tack calls on both sides already today. I'm a homer but that last call on Howard was BS.

[DAF86]

Prediction: Celtics in a close one.

[Cry Havoc]

Rondo just tripped over his own feet, NO CONTACT, and got two freebies.

Reffing in the NBA continues to go downhill.

[LnGrrrR]

Damn it Celtics! Drive to the paint! *banging head on desk*

[pauls931]

Looks like Orlando contracted the no offense virus Houston recently had.

[Cry Havoc]

Skip to my Lou is out.

[pauls931]

How much money did TNT waste on the `gizmo´?

[Mavs<Spurs]

Orlando getting outrebounded by the Celtics (Ronda's got 9 rebounds).

And shooting below 40% and letting the Celtics shoot 50% is not helping the Magic's chances.

Hedo not shooting well. Dwight shooting 42% from the field so far.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Paul Pierce on fire in this game.

Ray Allen, however, has not made much of an imprint upon this game.

The Celtics can't seem to get both of them going in the same game.
If they could, it sure would make things easier for them.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Celtics want this game more than the Magic.

That's the problem with winning a game. The other team becomes more motivated and you become satisfied, complacent and less motivated.


I agree with the poster above: Celtics win this in a close game.
I want the Magic to win, but the Celtics are my pick to actually win this game.

If Celtics win this game, then they probably win the series.
If the Magic win this game, then it is anybody's series.

[pauls931]

Orlando needs some offensive help. I know the celt´s D is good, but garnet is not there so they should be tearing it up. Seems like they´re just brickin´3s all night with an occasional feed to Dhow. This team has too much talent to not be tearing the celts apart in orlando.

[LnGrrrR]

ray allen, however, has not made much of an imprint upon this series.

fify

[Mavs<Spurs]

Celts by 6 (unless score changed- my tvs are in other rooms).

Orlando time out.

Bad defense by Orlando.

[Mavs<Spurs]

fify

you're right.

Good catch.

:toast:lol

[pauls931]

Boston is playing much more confident than Orlando right now. I swear I´m watching game 2 again, I have no idea what Orlando is trying to do on offense.

[pauls931]

OMG they ran a pick and roll!!!

BTW, Big Baby´s haircut looks like a poorly shaved vagina.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Boston owning, Orlando sucking !

:wow

:depressed

:bang

:(

[Mavs<Spurs]

OMG they ran a pick and roll!!!

BTW, Big Baby´s haircut looks like a poorly shaved vagina.

Big Baby's hair looks gay.

But Big Baby has been their most consistent player this series and perhaps all playoffs.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Courtney Lee with the midrange shot- 79-73 Boston.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Pietrus for 3, cuts lead to 79-76 !

[Mavs<Spurs]

Boston scored again, 81-76, terrible 3 under duress at the end of the 24 second clock.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Gortat with the putback after the missed 3 by Turkoglu, 83-78 now !

[Mavs<Spurs]

9 minutes left in game, Orlando ball, Boston up 83-78.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Wade/Barkley/Howard commercial - :lmao at my posting .

[Mavs<Spurs]

5th foul on Pierce on out of bounds play.

Howard scores- 83-80 !

Allen hits from 2 !

85-80 !

transition bucket Orlando, 85-82 !

[Mavs<Spurs]

Perkins with the hook- 87-82 !

Ronda over Lewis 89-82 !

[Mavs<Spurs]

to on Ray Allen, feed by Reddick to Howard who was fouled and scored the bucket.

89-84 !

Howard missed the ft !

[Cry Havoc]

Man, if Boston finds a way to win 4 against Orlando, the Eastern Finals would be the worst mismatch in League history, perhaps. Cavs would enter the Finals with a 12 and 0 record.

[Mavs<Spurs]

travel by Ronda. Allen hit an ft - 90-84 Celtics.

Orlando's ball.

6.5 minutes left in the game

[pauls931]

Orlando is the most talent sucky team in the playoffs.

[Cry Havoc]

Orlando is the most talent sucky team in the playoffs.

Uh, their two best point guards aren't playing?

[Mavs<Spurs]

Amazing how productive Ronda is with no jumper - assists in abundance, 2nd best rebounding guard in league after Kidd, gets points by layups, good defensive player.

[ElNono]

Orlando is the most talent sucky team in the playoffs.

Yet, if they get lucky and nail a few more treys, they might end up 3-1 over the reigning champs.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Uh, their two best point guards aren't playing?

With Jameer Nelson, this is a much better team.

This playoff season, injuries have played an even larger role than usual in deciding who advances.

[pauls931]

chuckin´3s... good grief.

[Cry Havoc]

With Jameer Nelson, this is a much better team.

This playoff season, injuries have played an even larger role than usual in deciding who advances.

I don't think there's a team in the league that would win 50% of it's games without it's two primary point guards. Maybe L.A., because their points are pretty sucky anyway.... other than that, I don't see any team being effective.

[ElNono]

Somebody tell Orlando that 2 pointers count too.

[pauls931]

You´re kidding me, they´re missing their 2 best guards? Show me how closely I follow the magic. Man the gods do want LA vs Cavs.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Reddick wide open look and missed.

Johnson bricked a 3 earlier.

Reddick's sole skill is making 3's and he's not doing anything tonight !

90-84, still Orlando ball - a little over 5 remaining.

Anthony Johnson at the line. missed first ft, missed second, Howard got the rebound, Orlando scored, 90-86 .

20 sec to by Celtics, Perkins hurt shoulder (previously injured shoulder).

[Spur-Addict]

Reddick sucks. That is all.

[Brazil]

Somebody tell Orlando that 2 pointers count too.

:lol orlando =sas

[pauls931]

bailout

[Mavs<Spurs]

Superman skies for the rebound.

Courtney Lee got 2, Ronda got the call against Howard.

too many fouls by Orlando. Pierce and Allen are great free throw shooters.

Ronda not so great.

91-88 Celtics, 3:40 left in game.

[Brazil]

wow lee shooting the 2s !!

[pauls931]

wow, did they kidnap rip hamilton?

[Mavs<Spurs]

91-90 Lee for 2, then missed wide open shot.

Celtics ball.

Big Baby called for travel.

Smart play by Howard earlier avoiding fifth foul.

91-90 now Orlando ball. Orlando can obviously take the lead if they score here.

[Mavs<Spurs]

wow, did they kidnap rip hamilton?

I know: Courtney Lee with the mask looks a lot like Rip !

:lol

[Mavs<Spurs]

Ronda 21/13 (rebounds)/ 3 (assists).

Now, 14 rebounds by Ronda, 2 minutes left in the fourth.

[pauls931]

man orlando is killin me.

[Mavs<Spurs]

less than 1.5 minutes left in game.

Lee with a terrible shot.

NO chance.

1 minute left in game, Hedo misses 3. Celtics ball- 20 second time out.

Celtics no fgs in 7 minutes.

Celtics with the lead 91-90.

[ManuTP9]

howard clutch!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Howard at the line for 2 free throws. 91-90 Celtics, but gets the first.

91-91 tie, and second one is also good !

Wow, Howard with the clutch ft !

10-2 run.

Orlando up 92-91. Celtics ball.

Davis makes the shot.

93-92 Celtics.

8 sec diff

[pauls931]

good lord... turk is sucking ass this game.

[Mavs<Spurs]

cnbc wealthy republican ad for investors-

16.7 seconds left in game.

Orlando ball.

93-92 Celtics lead !

[lil_penny]

was that linda hogans fat ass to the left of reggie???

[Brazil]

Allen to close the thing

[pauls931]

Please don´t let this end with the celts hitting freethrows... They´re going to give the ball to pierce and he´s going to bulldog for the automatic foul call.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Lewis going to the line, makes the first, 93-93.

Lewis 84 % free throw shooter.

Celtics have full and 20 sec time out.

Lewis makes second free throw.

to by Boston, 94-93 Magic lead with 11.3 seconds left in game, Boston ball !

[Armando]

Come on Magic one more stop

[Mavs<Spurs]

Pierce and Allen great free throw shooters.

Pierce does have a tendency to bull his way into free throws.

Hope that it doesn't happen again.

1 20 sec to for Boston remaining.

[IronMexican]

Fuck!

[lefty]

:lmao

[Brazil]

glen davis wtf

[IronMexican]

I hate Baby Davis

[ManuTP9]

fucking shitslut fuck him!!

[lefty]

:rollin

Did you see Davis pushing that kid ?

[Mavs<Spurs]

Davis hits the game winning jumper which went through the rim just as time expired.

95-94 Celtics win.

Crap!

[Sec24Row7]

Hahaha somebody post a vid of davis attacking the kid after he makes the game winner... and look at the kid's reaction.

[scampers]

Davis totally almost took a kid to the floor after he hit that shot.. lol

[Brazil]

just lol loosing on a davis clutch shot lol

[Kriz-Maxima]

I cannot hate on that. Props to big baby.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I hate the Celtics

Watch them go to the finals somehow

[bostonguy]

God damn it this team just doesnt quit. Say what you want about them being assholes and all. They go out their and play their hearts out even when they are depleted. Magic in 6.

[mytespurs]

:rollin

Did you see Davis pushing that kid ?

I saw it....:lmao

What a shot!!!! .....kudos to the Celtics.....they're not as good as they were a year ago but NEVER underestimate the heart of a championship team!!

This series may go 7!!!

[bostonguy]

I hate the Celtics

Watch them go to the finals somehow

Unless KG makes a comeback, I can promise you that isnt happening.

[MarHill]

That kid got demolished. He got like tossed to the side.


My wife yelled out....Big Baby pushed that kid!!!

That's funny!!

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ROFLROFL @ that kid

[mytespurs]

I hope he gets a chance to apologize to that kid though...that's rough....ouch!

[Armando]

I hate really hate the Celtics. They are like a wounded animal that keeps hanging on.

[Armando]

You are talking about the Celtics not exactly a model of class.

[BUMP]

:lmao at that kid

[MarHill]

I hate really hate the Celtics. They are like a wounded animal that keeps hanging on.

They are a tough-minded championship caliber ballclub!!! I have to get them credit!

[Sec24Row7]

Kid has his heart ripped out by a human butterball and then the butterball shoves him down...

[pauls931]

Kid has his heart ripped out by a human butterball and then the butterball shoves him down...

Just saw the replay, hahaha!!! That´s hilarious!

[LakerHater]

Doc Rivers isn't a coach!
He's a FAN with a title(not speakin championship!) that sits head of the bench!!

[LnGrrrR]

Wow... Big Baby with the clutch shot. Way to go! All tied up and going back to Beantown.

[iilluzioN]

Go celtics!!

[LnGrrrR]

Did you see Van Gundy's face on the sidelines? He was cheering when big Baby was forced to take the shot, then he had to eat crow.

Something about that guy... I just don't like him.

[iilluzioN]

yea, I hate everything about him.... tyhe way he talks... the way he looks, fat fuck coach.... Orlando should let him go and bring AJ or someone with real leadership skills

[JoeTait75]

They are a tough-minded championship caliber ballclub!!! I have to get them credit!

Yup. I hate them, but they're tough.

I tell you what hands off to the Cetlics for winning a game by a shot from Buffet table.

[pauls931]

I didn´t know Orlando was hurtin so bad at guard with injuries, if not I´d say their coach would be looking for another job very soon.

[crc21209]

Glen Davis just took a big fat dump on Orlando and that kid! :lol

[Armando]

Lets see how Orlando comes out for Game 5.

[Jacob1983]

At least the kid can say he got pushed by a fat ass NBA player, how many people can say that? The Celtics are not going to the Finals. They had their fun last year. Stern doesn't want the Celtics in the Finals this year. He wants the Lakers and Cavs this year.

[Armando]

Of course if Boston makes to the ECF it would be fun to see LeBron curbstomp them out the playoffs.

[Holmes_Fans]

The kid's parents should sue

[Holmes_Fans]

Why is there some dumbass wearing a Lebron jersey?

[Kriz-Maxima]

Besides Jameer, which they replaced with Alston, what other guard is hurt for the magic?

[Armando]

Why is there some dumbass wearing a Lebron jersey?



I never get why people wear jerseys for teams that are not even playing in the game. Whats next a fan in LA wearing a Leon Powe jersey?

[JoeTait75]

Why is there some dumbass wearing a Lebron jersey?

The way he was celebrating, he was probably a Cavaliers fan.

I know I was jumping around my living room when Baby's shot hit cord. :lol

[Jacob1983]

Yeah, there should be a rule about that. You should only be allowed to wear jerseys for the two teams playing the game.

[Holmes_Fans]

At least the team is relevant right now. I went to a mavs/someone random game in the regular season and someone wore a t-mac jersey.

[Armando]

yea, I hate everything about him.... tyhe way he talks... the way he looks, fat fuck coach.... Orlando should let him go and bring AJ or someone with real leadership skills



Aint going to happen. 1st with how teams are cutting costs with the economic crisis I don't see them paying Van Gundy to stay home essentially. Secondly if the Magic end up losing the series they can always fall back on well Jameer was hurt.

[Armando]

The way he was celebrating, he was probably a Cavaliers fan.

I know I was jumping around my living room when Baby's shot hit cord. :lol



:lol I am sure the Cavs and their fans are hoping for a 7 game series.

[JoeTait75]

:lol I am sure the Cavs and their fans are hoping for a 7 game series.

I would rather not see Orlando, frankly. It's no secret the Cavaliers have some matchup problems with them. I think the Cavaliers would beat them in a series, but I'd just as soon not find out.

[Armando]

Yeah Howard,Lewis and Turk are a nightmare for the Cavs frontline. Turk and Lewis will force LeBron and Wallace/Varejao to the 3 point line. But unless KG comes back I don't see Boston being able to get past Howard pounding thier frontline out of the game.

[Armando]

Of course it would be fun to see Cleveland beat Boston.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Amazingly enough no matter what team ends up facing Cleveland in the ECF, I'll probably root for Cleveland.

I just felt dirty.

[td4mvp21]

Good game. I can't believe I'm happy the Celtics won but I am.

[DAF86]

Prediction: Celtics in a close one.

:lol I fricking told you!

[LnGrrrR]

:lol I fricking told you!

:tu

[NBA Junkie]

Big Baby!!!!

That game 4 win saved the Celtics season. They're gonna win this thing in seven. I just can't see a team (Orlando) nearly blowing a 28 point lead in game 1 winning again in Boston.

I'm even crazy enough to think that the Celtics can win their 3 in Boston and somehow steal one at the Q when they get the Cavs :toast.
