Celtics vs Magic, Game 3 in Orlando

[LnGrrrR]

As before, starting up this thread.

If John Hollinger ran the NBA, then Orlando would seemingly win every game, as the more 3's you take, the better your team does.

I've mentioned this before, but teams that take lots of 3s tend to win, and the more 3s they jack up the more successful they are. - John Hollinger

Of course, it also doesn't matter if those 3's don't fall.

You'd still prefer them to miss from outside than make, of course. Orlando went 27-3 in the regular season when hitting 40 percent or more. But even that might be less of a factor than people think: Orlando lost both playoff games in which it hit 40 percent, including Game 2.

As a Celtics fan, I'm hoping that the Magic take Hollinger's advice, and deliberately jack up a bunch of 3's and try to miss them.

[sook]

you hollinger.

Why do people take his opinion like it matters so much?

[RedsLakers24]

at the interview right now shown with Stan Van Gundy. What a little crying . I mean sure he's making a point about the NBA being different with the House/Alston situation and the Rondo/Miller situation but why even bring that up? You were NOT apart of that series! . Quit cryin' Stan Van and coach your team.

[LnGrrrR]

Please, someone make a jumper heh.

And yes, Van Gundy is a .

[LnGrrrR]

I don't like the way my C's are playing, but it's still early. They can get hot.

[Rogue]

Unless KG got air-born to this game, the Celtics are definitely going to lose this one in Orlando, and very likely to lose game 4 as well. Superman managed to escape Boston with one win in his belt, which almost warrants a ticket for the ECF.

[LnGrrrR]

Holy crap... how cold are the Celtics tonight? Did they bathe in a bucket of ice before the game?

[Cry Havoc]

Either the mics in the crowd are turned down, or the Magic have the worst home court in the NBA. First game in the series at home and you can barely hear them.

[Chomag]

They did not just play the song "are you ready for this" did they!

The worst HCA in the NBA belongs to the Lakers, Magic are probably a close second.

[LnGrrrR]

Ugh. Unless Orlando reverts to their re ed 3pt game, this is over.

[KSeal]

Ugh. Unless Orlando reverts to their re ed 3pt game, this is over.

Don't worry, the Magic choke away every lead they get. They're kinda like the Lakers of the East.

[crc21209]

Eddie House is the ing MAN for the C's right now. Only a 12-pt game now!

[crc21209]

Boston ending the 3rd qtr with a 15-4 run capped off by a Rondo steal and dunk to cut it to 78-69.

[sa_kid20]

Wow C's only down 9 going into the 4th.

[crc21209]

Wow C's only down 9 going into the 4th.

I'm never surprised with A. Orlando choking a lead, and B. Boston making a comeback after last yr's incredible comeback against the Fakers.

[crc21209]

even the veteran guy Anthony Johnson getting into it with Stan Van. Stan must really be a ty coach, everyone hates this guy

[Spur-Addict]

Wow C's only down 9 going into the 4th.

Huge 11 point turn around.

[Randy]

Pow!

[sa_kid20]

This just seems like its all set up for Boston to steal this one.

[crc21209]

Turkoglu is WACK

[LnGrrrR]

I turned off the game in frustration, and then they made their turnaround. I think I will leave the game off.

Yes, I'm supers ious lol

[TheProfessor]

I didn't want to admit it before, but it seems Shaq may have had a point about Van Gundy.
