Celts@Magic Game 5 Thread

[hhml]

The Magic are hustling like crazy and challenging every shot. If they had put in this kind of effort earlier rather than wait 'til they're down 3-0, this series would've been a lot closer.

Got to finish the quarter strong....can't let Boston go on any kind of run, especially with Howard going out.

[Killakobe81]

Ofcourse, if he got the same looks as failmar & brown, he would avg 12-15 points a game off the bench. He hits contested 3's on Orl, all his shots would be wide open playing on the same court with Kobe.

I agree ...DO it Mitch!

[HarlemHeat37]

I was hoping they would play Bass or Ryno since game 1, thankfully SVG did it after some desperation..Magic fans have been asking for Bass to play all year, SVG went with him for a stretch of a few weeks and then benched him again..he's a poor defender and takes some bad shots, but his energy/physicality/mid-range shot are all quality..

[HarlemHeat37]

There's Pietrus being Pietrus there..

[picc84]

Pietrus wanted to shoot BAD.

[Bob Lanier]

Mickael Pietrus: still an idiot.

[NewJerSpur]

Pietrus stalling the offense trying to hit a homerun....just dumb.

[TampaDude]

Magic made a nice run there...let's see if the Celtics can do the same.

[Spurologist]

This series could take on a completely different tenor if the Magic win this game AND Rondo keeps getting banged up like this to the point he's all bumps and bruises and can't play like the start of the playoffs. He already doesn't seem like the same player as the first couple games this series.

not to mention the Celtics disadvantage in the youth department (of core players). Celtics overall have a younger team

Agreed. I think he was injured for a stretch in the season as well that took him out of the rotation and Van Gundy didn't really make the effort to get him back into the flow of things. The Anderson disappearance has been a mystery as well.

thought the same thing. He's playing too predictable right now. He is hustling though. Coach has to settle him down

[NewJerSpur]

Damn, nice try by Gortat though.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ Pierce..

The defensive effort is there, but everyone knows he wants to take a stepback 3 at every opportunity.

[Spurologist]

What the is pierce doing playing after the whistle. He deserved to be put on his ass.

[Bob Lanier]

Vince Carter just wants to suck s and play basketball, but he forgot how to play basketball.

[Spurologist]

JVG:The NBA: where soft happens

[NewJerSpur]

Vince needs to stop shooting.

[picc84]

Vince is the worst player in the Magic's rotation.

Thats half-amazing.

[HarlemHeat37]

Vince's jump shot died all of a sudden..he was very good in game 1, don't know what happened..

[ffadicted]

These T's are so

[Cry Havoc]

at these officials.

Boxing out on a rebound is now a technical foul.

[Bob Lanier]

This constant whistling is ruining the game.

[NewJerSpur]

Pietrus taking a smart 3.
