Celtics vs. Magic..

[TampaDude]

Wow...sloppy play there by Orlando...they catch a break and blow the opportunity...potential 5 or 6 point swing here.

[dbestpro]

should review the call back to the foul on lewis.

[Bob Lanier]

Great decision, midget.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol a shooting foul

[Bob Lanier]

What's with the flasher bird thing?

[TampaDude]

Man...it's like streetball out there... :lol

[The_Dude]

Howard is good for at least two dumb fouls like that a game.

[NewJerSpur]

Good response by Boston.

[NewJerSpur]

Ray Allen is getting away with fouling guys he can't defend.

[Bob Lanier]

Jesus!

[TampaDude]

Boston will win this game.

[LnGrrrR]

I never like when they call it a shooting foul when it's obvious they just chucked it up BECAUSE of the foul.

Rayray from downtown!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy cow!

[Fpoonsie]

Wow. Well, looks like I'll be backing WHICHEVER team comes out of the West.

[NewJerSpur]

Jesus!

:lol

[Muser]

How is Howard considered a superstar when he'd not even half the player Duncan was or is?

Because he dunks and blocks shots into the 3rd row. Sadly that's enough.

[4>0rings]

Wow. Well, looks like I'll be backing WHICHEVER team comes out of the West.
If you back the Lakers GTFO this site.

[Allanon]

What's with the flasher bird thing?

:lol That was kind of awkward.

[D-Wade #3]

Dwight Howard should be way more dominating than he is, which is not dominating at all. Smh

[NewJerSpur]

Celtics are doing a better job of moving the ball on offense....Orlando may have to depend on the 2nd unit again to get the back into the game going into the 4th.

[Amarelooms]

Great decision, midget.

There is only one "midget" in the NBA dummy and it's JJ Freakin Barea....

:elephant

[Bob Lanier]

Dwight Howard's offense looks EXACTLY like Stromile Swift's, except he's so off-balance he can't even jump.

[TampaDude]

The Celtics have completely shut down Howard.

[NewJerSpur]

Perkins refusing to give ground to Dwight.

[LnGrrrR]

Pierce playing some really good D out there, fast hands.

[NewJerSpur]

Those lost and-1 opportunities are going to come back to hurt Howard.

[Bob Lanier]

Oh look, it's Patrick Chewing.

[Muser]

What is Ewing actually teaching Dwight?

[dbestpro]

Nothing is more irritating than watching a post player force a shot with three guys on him. Howard needs to kick the ball back out.

[NewJerSpur]

Oh look, it's Patrick Chewing.

Classic commerical, lol.

[Bob Lanier]

Good LORD...

Fuck LeBron, this kid Howard has no heart.

[Allanon]

I have to admit, the Celtics are getting easy buckets while the Magic are fighting just to get a shot off.

[TampaDude]

Oh look, it's Patrick Chewing.

Love that commercial! :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Wtf was that?

[Fpoonsie]

If you back the Lakers GTFO this site.

I'd much rather see Kobe get his 20th than be forced to stomach KG, Rasheed and Michael Fucking Finley getting their 2nd...

And :lmao at you thinking I give the smallest of shits regarding whatchoo think of who I support. You're a fucking embarrassment. Nobody enjoys your posts here. You're the Amarelooms of the Spurs fan base on this site.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol the Cs are bullying the magic!

[Muser]

Sheed :lmao

[Bob Lanier]

Sheed is to Howard what Rodman was to Frank Brickowski.

[LnGrrrR]

What is Ewing actually teaching Dwight?

How to lose in the playoffs? :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Game getting a bit out of hand now.

[LnGrrrR]

God Howard is playing HORRIBLY.

If Sheed can play him this well all this series, he was well worth the pickup.

[resistanze]

:lol Superman getting WORKED.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao

God bless you, Rasheed Wallace.

[dbestpro]

Howard is the picture of immaturity in the NBA dictionary.

[j.dizzle]

LOLLLLLLLLLLL Dwight Howard...Gasol straight up shits on this choke artist..This guy cant even make a layup...What the fuck is Ewing teaching this clown???

[resistanze]

Howard is sad, and so are you idiots that hype this guy.

People still hype that clown?

[LnGrrrR]

Howard is sad, and so are you idiots that hype this guy.

Don't look at me... I've been hating on Dho since I've been on this board. :lol

I don't think I've ever seen so much wasted potential since... Patrick Ewing?

No, wait, maybe Vince Carter.

[dbestpro]

Magic have got to attack before Boston sets its defense.

[NewJerSpur]

Ray Allen still fouling.

[LnGrrrR]

Ray Allen still fouling.

Handcheck until they call it... Orlando should be doing the same thing.

[resistanze]

At least Ewing perfected that pull up jumper :lol

[Allanon]

How to lose in the playoffs? :lol

That's a low blow :lol

[TampaDude]

Orlando's failure to hit their 3s allows Boston to clog the lane against Howard. If the Magic's 3 point shooting doesn't return to form, they are gonna get bounced.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic have got to attack before Boston sets its defense.

:tu

Too much dribbling, not enough ball movment.

[dbestpro]

Boston playing a good pysical game. This is what the Spurs were suppose to do to tissue Phx.

[resistanze]

Orlando's failure to hit their 3s allows Boston to clog the lane against Howard. If the Magic's 3 point shooting doesn't return to form, they are gonna get swept.

Fixed.

They must just sit there and eat Snickers bars all day. Fuck Dwight.

You do care that's why you responded you taint sniffing Laker sympathizer faggot. You're the Koolaid Man of Kobe jockriders.

[NewJerSpur]

There you go.

[DPG21920]

You are seeing Dwight's limitations right now. He is still an elite player, but he has to grow up in a hurry mentally and offensively if he wants to accomplish anything. Especially mentally.

[21_Dickings]

Howard is sad, and so are you idiots that hype this guy.

Nobody but the media who you put so much stock in when they're sucking Kobe's dick hypes this overrated bum, faggot.

[TampaDude]

Fixed.

:toast

[NewJerSpur]

Easier shots always helps.

[ffadicted]

Well, I guess the suns are the last hope against a LA repeat lol

[Amarelooms]

lol Pierce just said...."What the fuck is wrong with ya'll"....after his and 1....made me LOL

:elephant

[dbestpro]

Magic still have not gotten the message. If a Cetlic player drives you put him on his back. The Magic have not arrived for the playoffs until they understand this message.

[Bob Lanier]

You can tell Sheed is locked in when he doesn't even challenge the calls.

[NewJerSpur]

Well, I guess the suns are the last hope against a LA repeat lol

That Gif sig is hilarious, LOL.

[DPG21920]

Pierce is a maggot. So is KG.

[NewJerSpur]

Great D Pietrus.

You do care that's why you responded you taint sniffing Laker sympathizer faggot. You're the Koolaid Man of Kobe jockriders.

I explained my reasoning...which you then conveniently deleted in a feeble attempt to prove your nonsensical point.

Fuck your mother.

[Amarelooms]

is you want a revolution...only solution...evolve....

:elephant

[NewJerSpur]

Magic are going to need to find their offense moving forward, or at least find out who they are going to run it through.

[TampaDude]

Pierce is an awesome player, but he always has that look on his face that makes you wanna hit him in the head with a 2x4. :lol

[milkshakeballa]

Pierce playing some really good D out there, fast hands.

When healthy he is really an underrated defender. Kobe had 48 minutes of problems in 08 between him and Posey.

[LnGrrrR]

You are seeing Dwight's limitations right now. He is still an elite player, but he has to grow up in a hurry mentally and offensively if he wants to accomplish anything. Especially mentally.

What makes you think he will? His post game is atrocious for a big with his athletic ability, and if losing in the Finals doesn't motivate you, what will?

[Ghazi]

often said player X cant win a title as teams best player.

But what about this Boston team? What a great TEAM. No top 10 players on this team but they move the ball so well and play great defense.

[Sisk]

damn, celtics look good

i must say i counted them out in the regular season with all their injuries but damn, they got healthy at the right time

[4>0rings]

I explained my reasoning...which you then conveniently deleted in a feeble attempt to prove your nonsensical point.

Hey look, Luvas got your back after you tongued his ballon knot. You secretly wish Kobe raped you don't you, you Laker sympathizer.

[21_Dickings]

:lmao:lmao:lmao

He sure is. I was already thinking how gay he is.:lmao

But you're the Amarelooms of Laker fanfags, so how does that work out?

[LnGrrrR]

i must say i counted them out in the regular season with all their injuries but damn, they got healthy at the right time

It's alright; I counted them out too. I've never seen a team turn it on so well in the postseason after months of lackluster play.

[itzsoweezee]

boston's gonna win another title. can't see the lakers beating the celtics, LA's too pussy. And boston has the defense to shut down phoenix's offense.

[DPG21920]

What makes you think he will? His post game is atrocious for a big with his athletic ability, and if losing in the Finals doesn't motivate you, what will?

He has shown small flashes of improving. A lot of it is mental. But I am not sure he can make a quantum type leap offensively. But he can do things to become better and that would be enough.

[LnGrrrR]

You cant teach touch. You either have or you don't. His footwork is poor and relies totally on his athletic ability.

I can understand not having touch. It's the footwork thing that bothers me.

DAMN that was a hard foul by Sheed! Nice playoff foul. :tu

[Bob Lanier]

Brick-ow-ski

Lakers have quite a few tough players. the only big time pussy is Glassnum

[DPG21920]

But what about this Boston team? What a great TEAM. No top 10 players on this team but they move the ball so well and play great defense.

Because when you play great team defense you will give yourself a shot. When you rely on one great offensive player, that can go by the wayside. Defense is something you can rely on.

But most likely, you need a few elite players to win a title. Some teams do it without a ton of top level talent (Pistons), but mostly it is teams like LA who just have more talent than everyone.

[Sisk]

It's alright; I counted them out too. I've never seen a team turn it on so well in the postseason after months of lackluster play.

Seriously. It's like they went from 3rd gear to 6th gear in a week. Impressive, and scary for other teams.

[HarlemHeat37]

Howard actually did make a lot of improvements in his post game and passing this year, although he obviously needs a lot of work to be good in these categories..

The problem isn't that, it's the defenders..like I said in the OP, these guys defend him better than anybody in the NBA, and it's not even close..Perkins and Wallace get in his head really easily..they push him around down low, hard fouls..it's good strategy and his mental fragility is his weakness as a player right now, more than his post game or questionable offensive skills at times..

Orlando is running their offense through him too much though..keep going to VC and Nelson, just get him looks off penetration and rebounds..

[NewJerSpur]

Boston doing a hell of a job getting into those passing lanes on the pnr.

[TampaDude]

boston's gonna win another title. can't see the lakers beating the celtics, LA's too pussy. And boston has the defense to shut down phoenix's offense.

If the Celtics keep playing like this, then yeah, they've gotta be the favorite to win it all. Good...anyone but the Lakers.

[Fpoonsie]

You clever motherfucker, you.

[LnGrrrR]

He has shown small flashes of improving. A lot of it is mental. But I am not sure he can make a quantum type leap offensively. But he can do things to become better and that would be enough.

He needs to develop some sort of post move. Play better with his back to the basket, other than putbacks.

Davis flops for the foul. :lol

[Bob Lanier]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! :elephant

[jacobdrj]

God Howard is playing HORRIBLY.

If Sheed can play him this well all this series, he was well worth the pickup.

Like Ben Wallace to the Bulls to beat Shaq, Sheed is doing EXACTLY what he was paid to do in Boston...

[HarlemHeat37]

SVG needs to get Anderson or Bass involved at some point, I don't know who he picks though..

They'll also need Pietrus or Barnes to show up in this series..they have both been absolutely horrible today..

[LnGrrrR]

Footwork is worthless if you don't have the touch to finish around the hoop. Wallace is just what the doctor ordered. All bets are off after next week motherfuccer... we're at war again.:ihit

You know it Luva :toast

[NewJerSpur]

Howard is going to have to convert at the basket on the and-1's if they're going to foul.

[Bob Lanier]

Gortat's playing well.

[LnGrrrR]

Oooooh if Sheed rattled that dunk home that would have been awesome.

Sheed is MOTIVATED.

[TampaDude]

Rondo is the best PG in the NBA.

[resistanze]

Sheed is so god damn insufferable :lol

[NewJerSpur]

SVG needs to get Anderson or Bass involved at some point, I don't know who he picks though..

I'd like to especially see Anderson's quick trigger to help spread the floor a bit. Damn Sheed.

[TampaDude]

I love Sheed...he's old school...

[Ghazi]

Rondo is the best PG in the NBA.

D Will and Nash say hi.

3rd best IMO

[peskypesky]

just turned the game on and my prediction seems to be coming true. Celtics in 6. they just have too many weapons and too many big men to throw at Howard.

[DPG21920]

It is so crazy how players can play like complete dogs all year, and then have one good series when it matters and all is forgiven.

[TampaDude]

D Will and Nash say hi.

Hope you are right. :depressed

[NewJerSpur]

Lewis is going to have to have a bigger impact moving forward (especially against Garnett) along with Pietrus on offense (has defend Pierce pretty well).

[4>0rings]

D Will and Nash say hi.

3rd best IMO
D Will I can see but Rondos D is better than Nashs. Rondo 2nd best in league.

[LnGrrrR]

It is so crazy how players can play like complete dogs all year, and then have one good series when it matters and all is forgiven.

Hey, if Sheed helps get us past Orlando (and assuming he doesn't play like a dog in the Finals), then why not forgive? :lol

Redemption is only a good game away in sports.

[InRareForm]

i'm convinced, celtics are the real deal. they are playing like a unit, teamwork and defense is going to be hard to beat in a 7 game series.

[NewJerSpur]

J-Will.

[DPG21920]

I am just saying, it must be great to be Sheed. Just play like a douche all year, then come up big when it matters and everyone that ripped you all year long now loves you. Feed the Sheed.

[NewJerSpur]

Magic down, but never out.

[blkroadrunners]

Orlando's makin a push.

[Bob Lanier]

Hmmm...

[TampaDude]

Big BABY!!!

[LnGrrrR]

Magic hitting some 3's, Celtics need to put a hand in their face on the perimeter.

Nice pass by PP to Big Baby, and good finish!

[NewJerSpur]

I am just saying, it must be great to be Sheed. Just play like a douche all year, then come up big when it matters and everyone that ripped you all year long now loves you. Feed the Sheed.

I think he is in Howard's head at this point.....Dwight's got to settle down and play smart.

[LnGrrrR]

I am just saying, it must be great to be Sheed. Just play like a douche all year, then come up big when it matters and everyone that ripped you all year long now loves you. Feed the Sheed.

Does it piss me off mildly? Yeah. But there's no trophy for "Best regular season champs".

[Bob Lanier]

Why is Big Baby on Davis instead of Sheed?

[NewJerSpur]

Damn that was ugly.

[4>0rings]

Does anyone want to guard the fattest gay guy on the court?

[LnGrrrR]

Wow... Big Baby playing good D on Howard!

[lefty]

Davis is so much better than Dwight

[resistanze]

Wow... Big Baby playing good D on Howard!

Pretty good D but still - I don't want to see another T-Mobile commercial again until the fucker learns a move in the post.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

howard is so bad

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight has to keep kicking it out for the better shot attempt when Boston doubles.....if they aren't going to double, he needs to push whoever is guarding him (outside of Perkins who he can't move) underneath the basket.

[lefty]

DPOY my ass

[NewJerSpur]

Pretty good D but still - I don't want to see another T-Mobile commercial again until the fucker learns a move in the post.

That left-handed jumper needed to get retired once the playoffs started.

[itzsoweezee]

Bill Simmons is taking major L's this post season. His track record is pretty pathetic in general, but he's looking especially like a jackass this year.

I guess it's good for him that *some* people think he's funny, because his basketball knowledge is almost nonexistent.

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics need to maintain their defensive focus, and wait for good shots on the offensive end. No rushing in, look for the extra pass, generic coaching cliche.

[21_Dickings]

Good to see the greatest NBA franchise of all time regain their championship swagger. We're their number one bitches, no doubt, but it'll be good to fight them for number 11. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice move Vince.

[resistanze]

27-32 from the field against the Hawks? :lol

[crc21209]

This is what happens when a soft ass jump shooting/3-pt shooting team meets a good defensive team. Live by the 3, die by the 3...

Simmons used to be good, before he moved to LA and had a kid.

Rayray with a dagger, keeping the lead. And Redick makes a nice move on the other end.

[lefty]

Paging Hedo Turkoglu

I know I know, disappointing season in Toronto, but the guy was a MAJOR matchup nightmare last season with the Magic

[NewJerSpur]

Orlando getting easier baskets now, which bodes well for them moving forward.

I like how the Celtics are milking every second off the shot clock they can.

Lefthanded again huh.

[blkroadrunners]

Let see if the Magic can push it to single digs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Paul Pierce's sideburns are disgusting..

Everybody has had to play physical in this game on both teams, except Ray Allen..

[crc21209]

paging hedo turkoglu

[LnGrrrR]

Howard with another ugly possession.

Good timeout by Doc there. Let his guys get a breather, refocus, and get discuss a set play to keep the lead.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's definitely mental with Howard, that last move was a good example..

In the regular season he trusted the drop step or the spin, right now he's forcing it by going up straight, which isn't working..all mental..

[Fpoonsie]

No idea why ORL keeps trying to force it to Dwight. The Cs have already proven they can defend him, w/o even having to bring a double team.

[TampaDude]

The Magic would probably have the lead if DH could actually make some of those gimmes under the basket.

[LnGrrrR]

Are you implying that Kobe impregnated him

:lol

Having a kid myself, I can tell you that they take alot of your time. I'm sure Simmons had alot more time to watch games before he was married and had a kid.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

magic finally attacking the basket with force...

[NewJerSpur]

Magic getting MUCH easier shots driving to the baskets and forcing whoever is guarding D-Wight to help leaving him open on the weakside for a putback if they miss at the rim...that's more like Magic basketball.

[Allanon]

Too little too late by the Magic.

Looks like the Celtics will be replacing the Cavs, Thunda, Jazz, Suns, Magic as "THE team" that has the Lakers number. :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Turkoglu had 2 good games out of the 7 vs. Boston last year IIRC..I can't believe how overrated he got, I still don't know why..

[TampaDude]

Even the best players have a bad outing from time to time (see LeBron James). How the Magic respond to this loss will tell us all if they are contenders or pretenders.

[NewJerSpur]

Need a stop.....or 2.

[HarlemHeat37]

Magic getting MUCH easier shots driving to the baskets and forcing whoever is guarding D-Wight to help leaving him open on the weakside for a putback if they miss at the rim...that's more like Magic basketball.

Yep..SVG better adjust next game, stop forcing it to Howard..the penetration from the guards has been the best strategy, it will help to get Howard going..

[crc21209]

Well what do ya know? 3-pointer by the Magic...CLANK.

[NewJerSpur]

Bad decision to kick it out for the 3 by Nelson....had an easier shot under the basket.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bad decision by Nelson there..he had Howard for a dunk..

[TampaDude]

Wow...that was a huge missed 3 by Shard.

[NewJerSpur]

Yep..SVG better adjust next game, stop forcing it to Howard..the penetration from the guards has been the best strategy, it will help to get Howard going..

Agreed.

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics got bailed out with that foul call... that was a poor offensive possession. Of course, Perkins doesn't hit them. *facepalm*

[NewJerSpur]

Lewis having a terrible all-around game.

[lefty]

ROFL Lewis

[Bob Lanier]

Nelson is just way too selfish.

[LnGrrrR]

Rondo doing exactly what I said he SHOULDN'T do... rushing the offense. Take time off the clock Rondo. I know you want to push, but there's such a thing as being too aggressive.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice play by Vince....the most aggressive player on the Magic this game.

[NewJerSpur]

Need a stop.

[NewJerSpur]

Great block.

[blkroadrunners]

Howard's defense this 4th has been terrific.

[Sisk]

nice block

[Greg Oden]

Duuuuuuuuuke.

[NewJerSpur]

Celtics can't handle the Magic's guard penetration while trying to stay home on Howard.

[Greg Oden]

I don't think Redick made a move like that his entire time at Duke.

[LnGrrrR]

I'm actually surprised at how good the crowd has been. Rondo with another poor offensive possession.

Boston is going away from what worked, which is rotating the ball.

And AGAIN with the "We're only down five"... I'm going to mailbomb these announcers. :lol

[milkshakeballa]

Boston needs to make diagonal cuts into the lane from the weakside when Rondo drives...

they will get dunks and layups at the rim esp. with Dwight rotating over toRondo.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the red dick!

[TampaDude]

Looks like SVG may have finally solved the Celtics' D...too late for Game 1, though.

[HarlemHeat37]

Orlando is getting in the paint at will..it should be a good strategy for game 2..let the guards penetrate, Boston is having trouble stopping them, and it'll open up the entire offense..only go to Howard once he's gotten going or just at certain times..let him focus on D and rebounding, he's a defense all by himself..

I have a feeling Boston ends this with a demoralizing shot though, like a Wallace 3..

[NewJerSpur]

I'm actually surprised at how good the crowd has been. Rondo with another poor offensive possession.

[nevitt_&_smrek]

ORL's highest paid player, a near $20M guy, has produced next to nothing. Maybe his 'roid supply needs replenishment?

Lewis should've kept driving......what is with this drive and kick nonsense?

[Fpoonsie]

Aw, Reddick. You didn't need to shoot that 3 there...

[blkroadrunners]

Wished Redick made that 3.

[crc21209]

Ray Allen shouldve pulled that ball out though...not a good decision. :td

JJ forced that 3..

:lol

I think you guys got this game, you deserve it more than the Magic. But the tide is changing defensively.

Boston has a problem with letting teams into the game... I have no idea why. It's not just adjustments by the Magic.

I'd rather a shortened rotation that see Scal playing significant minutes, like he did last season against the Magic.

Our lack of useful big men in last year's playoffs was what really did us in.

[TampaDude]

Orlando will lose a FT shooting contest with Boston, so they better score here if they want to win.

[NewJerSpur]

There's no quit in this Magic team either.

[HarlemHeat37]

Forced 3 by Orlando coming up..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

the magic really doesn't want to listen JVG's BS

[peskypesky]

no disrespect to the Magic, but this game goes to show why i didn't think they were championship material. too dependent, like the Cavs, on one man.

[NewJerSpur]

I'd rather a shortened rotation that see Scal playing significant minutes, like he did last season against the Magic.

Our lack of useful big men in last year's playoffs was what really did us in.

:lol

[LnGrrrR]

the announcers said "we're only down five"???

i had it on mute

They said the whole "They've got to be happy to only be down five" that they've been doing all game. The announcers have been alternating what nuts they're riding, but it's been mostly the Magic. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

Terrible shot.

[NewJerSpur]

No foul?

[HarlemHeat37]

Howard got mugged, wow..should have been and-1..

[bostonguy]

Gotta inbound the ball successfully then make ft's and we should take this game.

[NewJerSpur]

Boston earned this game, but Orlando has some useful informtaion to work with moving forward...it's all about adjustments movnig forward. Terrible shot/playcall on the Lewis 3.

[resistanze]

Howard got mugged, wow..should have been and-1..

Yup. Terrible.

[LnGrrrR]

Yeah, that should've been an And-1. Lots of no-calls this game.

[NewJerSpur]

May Dwight Howard NEVER use his left hand for anything offensive again....at least in the playoffs.

[crc21209]

Howard got mugged, wow..should have been and-1..

Yeah it should've...but most likely he would've bricked the FT anyway...:lol

[bostonguy]

Orlando should make adjustments come game 2. Lots to take from this.

[crc21209]

I'm callin it...VC is going to miss a FT...

[NewJerSpur]

Risky foul by KG, that could've backfired.

[Sisk]

vince driving the lane was the best play stan could think of? ha..

[NewJerSpur]

Lolololol!!!

[resistanze]

LOL Celtics.

[crc21209]

:lol at Breen creaming his pants on that putback...

[bostonguy]

Gotta make both of these Ray.

[Greg Oden]

Ray Ray about to close this shit.

[LnGrrrR]

Wow, that worked well for the Magic. Glad Ray Allen got the ball there... he needs to knock these down.

[lefty]

JVG :lmao

"Can this Magic team force a turnover?"

[NewJerSpur]

Game sealed.

[Greg Oden]

Too pure.

[Sisk]

They said the whole "They've got to be happy to only be down five" that they've been doing all game. The announcers have been alternating what nuts they're riding, but it's been mostly the Magic. :lol

doesn't help with the van gundy brothers

this whole commentating crew is pretty shitty


BTW amazing miss by VC and even better put back by nelson.

[LnGrrrR]

Money! Way to go Rayray.... C's are gonna take this one.

[picc84]

This shits goin 7.

[bostonguy]

We stole homecourt. Orlando will make adjustments come Tuesday night. Good opening round victory though.

[lefty]

Larry Johnson suits up for the Magic, takes the shot and makes a 4 pt play !!!!

[NewJerSpur]

Good win for Boston, good job of fighting back for Orlando and great play from the bench on both sides.

[LnGrrrR]

I didn't like our offense in the fourth quarter, but anytime you can take a game on the road, that's a good thing.

[crc21209]

And the Celtics take Game 1...

[HarlemHeat37]

Horrible last shot, should have went to Carter..

Howard needs to man up for game 2 and SVG needs to run the offense like they did in the 4th, all from the perimeter..

[NewJerSpur]

Larry Johnson suits up for the Magic, takes the shot and makes a 4 pt play !!!!

:lol

[TampaDude]

I thought this would be a short series one way or the other...nope...this shit's going the distance...book it.
