No respect necessary. They are beating a bunch of suck ass chokers.
They have a bunch of guys that have really a bag behaviour.
"Mr. Intensity" offcourse leads the league in that department. (how he plays a tough guy from the bench only increases his overall lead)
BUT... they play really hard, believe in themselves and have a huge desire to win.
They were my n0.1 hated team in the league but since Orlando played so piss poor againt Philly and now they are doing the same vs Boston I can't help myself but to cheer for them to get to the eastern conference finals.
There they will be crushed by LeCrab anyways...
No respect necessary. They are beating a bunch of suck ass chokers.
they are a good team no question. but all this proves is that KG is overrated, and hinders them in crunch time.
but they are going to get swept by the Cavs. The Cavs very possibly will be able to match the 2001 Lakers 15-1 record through the playoffs.
bag behaviour???
we are nothing compared to your fellow texas team Dallas Mavs......
They are good team, but this is like a gun fight where one guy accidentally shoots himself in the leg trying to draw. I don't buy Boston's defense magically locking down in the 4th quarter, orlando just choked. Boston made a run and they panicked.
lol..... atleast we got players who play with balls....
are all spurs fans like you?
the spurs can't even beat the bag MAVS![]()
They'll get more respect in two weeks when they shock the world by taking out the overrated Cavs.
They've definitely shown the heart of a champion.
They do deserve respect. Orlando did choke, but they were able to take advantage and make the plays they needed to make. They could have mailed it in when they were down 14 and they didn't.
Not. Going. To happen.They'll get more respect in two weeks when they shock the world by taking out the overrated Cavs.
well they are getting PLENTY of respect from the refs and Stern.
"Props" for not quitting and being mentally tough maybe. Though it's nit-picking distinguishing the two, I have a hard time using the word "respect" for the Celtics.
I thought it proved the Magic are huge chokers. KG is a but I don't think his value to the Celtics is overrated.
Props to them for never giving up, but they are playing a team of guys whose balls shrivel up during crunch time.
His value is nice, but I think that the team has now grown enough to the point that they can still be elite without him. However, take Pierce off that team, and they are completely ed.
Celtics easily dispose of the Bulls and Magic in 4-5 games with a healthy KG.
His presence alone makes them significantly better defensively as well as rebounding.
This year's Cavs would get SWEPT by the '01 Lakers.
So would this year's Lakers.
I ain't proclaiming this year's Lakers to be the team of the decade like Cav fans are with their team.
Beating up on ty depleted EC teams is hardly impressive IMHO and not even noteworthy. Lebron will have a leg up on guys like Kobe and Duncan because he will always have a cakewalk to the Finals. The EC has collectively been pathetic in terms of overall talent for at least 2 decades now.
I don't know about that...
No one has said such a thing, except for you. Dumbass.
i dont like Boston at all and they do recieve tons of favorable calls, but they are a damn good team even missing key guys, they have the heart of a champion for sure.
Yeah, our role players suck. It's all good. We will shed the dead weight and be back in the hunt again next year. While we are doing that the Celtics will continue to watch Garnett decline and will probably dive head first into another 14 years of riding the line between mediocrity and flat out suckage. Enjoy.![]()
Oh I forgot, Big Z and Joe Smith are going to stop Shaq in the paint.

True, they play hard everynight.
But at the same time, if you beat the Magici y'all better take Cleveland to atleast 6
Agreed. That particular word jsut sticks in my throat especially after watching both Ray Allen and KG run their mouths for so many years.
Anyway the Magic blew this one with their lack of discipline, poor shot selection and time management. I blame that on SVG, R Alston and this team's inexperience before I call them chokers, excluding Hedo. I remember '04 all too well. From what I saw in the 4th Q they started jacking up 3's with too much time on the clock. That is SVG and Alston's fault more than inexperience. They forgot what got them the lead halfway through the 4th Q and simply deteriotated into a bunch of 1 on 1 players. Imagine if TP had done the same thing with the Spurs - only he probably could have score ced more than the Magic but the piont is - Pop would have rimmed him for that kind of play.
The Magic still haven't learned have to close out the big games yet which let the Celtics steal this one from them.![]()
