Boston is the world champs again

No, if they DO win this seriers they'll lose to the Lakers and these playoffs will go down as the RUN of REVENGE (e.g. SA def DAL, BOS def ORL, PHX def SA, etc.). Still a ways to go though.

However, the recent avatar change was kinda...gay. Hopefully, he was just being ironic.

Lots of fouling going on... refs calling ticky-tack stuff, or have Boston just been fouling the hell out of Dwight every time he has the ball under the basket?
Little from column A, little from column B.

Just got home... have to work late all this week.

Lots of fouling going on... refs calling ticky-tack stuff, or have Boston just been fouling the hell out of Dwight every time he has the ball under the basket? I'm guessing the latter.

Celtics have been fouling in general, particularly at the rim, but they've also played great defense so they've been given the benefit of the doubt. They have fouled Dwight a good amount and he's actually made them pay tonight.

Red Aurbach "I don't care what a player's FT percentage is, I want to know what it is the last 2 minutes of the game."

Anyone can take game winning shots from time to time make 25% of them and gain the reputation of beign clutch but the most telling aspect of the game to determine if a player is clutch or a choker is his FT % late in the game, when you have all the time in the world to think and the norm is to make them not to miss them.

Don't say that next to NewJerSpur, he believes the entire Celtics roster should foul out in 3, 4 possessions.

Right on time Mogro, :lol.

Wow. This was totally unexpected. Taking the first 2 in Orlando. I guess it's safe to say a series hasn't offically started until a home team wins. Celts need to go for the kill Saturday.

I can't stand Boston, but I have truly enjoyed the way the have played. They are grittier, savvier and more energetic. Seriously, with all the effort they are putting forth you'd think they are the younger team.

Rashard Lewis should be sat for the remainder of this series......more J-will, regardless of the size disparity it creates.

I lived in Seattle for 12 years and saw Rashard's softy-soft play up close. The dude's a straight-up loser. Certainly not max money material.
Orlando sealed their fate when they signed this turkey.

ooohhhh Magic Johnson with the low blow bringing up Nick Anderson. LOOOOWWW>>.....

I thought the same ...remember Howard (and someone else) choked some FT's that ALLOWED the Lakers to win game 4 ...in the FInals

That is 3 BIG games (2 Finals and 1 ECF Finals)... lost on choked FT's

Sad to see the one-breakout year go for not. He's totally disappeared and actually looked dispondent at times.

Gotta appreciate a team that plays well, even though they have players who look better on mugshots rather than on-court poses.


That's a huge if.
I'm sure Boston will get more calls at the Garden and they should play well. This is a sweep.

Well, Saturday is going to be the tell-all (as if the 4th quarter choking wasn't enough). Orlando made their mark last year with HUGE road victories in the playoffs....needless to say, they'll need another on to survive.

Oh yes, and props to Boston for the poised play down the stretch, balanced offensive attack, and overall solid game plan.

I just think they are clearly the better team who can beat Col. Saunders. I can just see Gasol getting Howard in foul trouble every single game.

Lewis and Garnett are just tough defensive matchups for one another. They both defend each other very well. More, the Cs are able to take away many of Lewis' spot-up shots, especially the corner 3s. The entire Orlando's offense gravitates around Howard, if he's being defended straight-up, even if he's scoring it affects the other guys. Plus, Rashard was with the flu today.

I'd be more irked with Nelson if I were a Celtics hater like NewJerSpur. He's been a complete non-factor.

Dwight Howard in Game 4 too. But they were up then and Fisher just drained that silly three, and then were completely taken over in overtime.

Lewis hasn't really made anything tough for KG....KG is getting to his usual spots and has even been getting wide open jumpers. The only time he hesitates is when a double comes his way.

I am irked about Nelson missing point-blank layups at the rim and making some questionable decisions coming off of the screen and roll.

Oh, and I do like Rondo, lol.

If Fisher is shooting the ball from anywhere and the game is on the line, you can bet your ass it is going in I don't care how ridiculous the shot is. I would almost rather Kobe take the game winning shot verses Fisher being a Spurs fan.

I think the key for them this year too is Rondo is playing ALOT better than he was during their championship run. He is making up for whatever the hell is wrong with Pierce. If Pierce can get back to constant form they will be a tough out.

That was a really bad loss...even outside of the FT's, the mental meltdown of the Magic is tough to take at this stage I think.

Well, he's averaging 25/7/5 in this series. He'll have some up and down games, but as long as he doesn't have to defend a mutant I think Pierce is okay.

Lewis is able to force Garnett to catch the ball further away from the basket. 12-15ft instead of 8ft. Contests his shots well in isolation plays Garnett has been only having good looks of pick'n'pop plays and kick outs.

NewJerSpur
05-18-2010, 11:23 PM
Magic have to re-think the hard traps on screens and allowing Boston's bigs to slip the picks.

Dwight has to gather himself more when he's posted below the foul line and not settle for the fading hook if he can get closer to the rim....he did have better post moves this time out.

Garnett doesn't seem to be making the consistent effort he's made to take Lewis to the block (and he hasn't had to given the penetration of the wing players), but when he has he's still gotten the shots he's accustomed to getting. Lewis hasn't done a good enough job of closing out on him to deter him from taking the midrange jumper and has looked lost on the pnr.
