No Pietrus and Lewis, no VC down the stretch due to injury risk from the hamstring the previous game, horrible officiating in favor of the Pistons, and everybody can have a bad game once in a while..
I could say some unkind things about the ORL frontcourt here....but it's only one game.
Still....

Ugly game... neither team had their full complement of players. Orlando missing Lewis and Pietrus, VC gimpy. Pistons without Rip and Prince. Dwight in foul trouble for much of the game. Plus, Ron Jeremy decided to have his team shoot three pointers every time down the court. Mixed almost zero dribble drives and post ups in the offense. All quick three pointers or a few swing passes for three pointers.
The game doesn't really show anything about either team. As a Pistons fan, I'm happy about the win, but I'm not deluded in any way about its significance.
wow talk about excuses. I would say this thread is premature ejaculation
The magic's young gunner Ryan Anderson went 2-14 (1-11 from 3). Ouch. I knew this kid would cool down but that's ice cold.
When Anderson is hitting half or more of his 3's the magic are as good as any team in the league.
Will be interesting to see if Anderson stays in the starting lineup once Lewis comes back.
Presently Boston is smoking hot. Will they burn themselves out by June? If they are still going strong come playoff time they are going to be damn hard to beat. They play 'D' like the Spurs used to. And their 'O' is looking like the chemistry is back like their Championship year. But, for now it is too early to figure out how it'll all play out. There are several teams that could get hot come May and take it all. Hopefully, it'll be the Spurs but, we have a ways to go with the chemistry mixing all the new guys in with the regulars. Gonna be a fun season for all us fans.
No way Orlando could beat Boston in a 7 game series. Boston is back to 2008 form.
Right now: Celtics >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everybody else.
I support this assessment. The closest game was still decided by 10 points.
Boston's problem isn't talent..they have the best collection of players in the NBA IMO..their issue is going to be age and injuries(which result from age) at the end of the season..
I don't think anybody is surprised with how they've begun the season..
true... we just need to stay heathy come playoffs time. I don't care if we are plowing through other teams from a ring standpoint, though from a fan standpoint i love it.
And I LOVE our d, that's our iden y.
Celtics>>>>>Magic>>>>>>Cavs
Celtics always come out firing in all cylinders the past two years. Last, I believe they peaked too early and that killed them. KG's injury didn't help either. This year, there's no question that they're in 08 form. It's all a matter of maintaining that motivation thougj
Finally looks like everyone is getting on the same page...
Celtics >>>>>>> Lakers > Magic, Spurs >> Cavs >>>>> Everyone Else
It's better to be the best team in June, but right now the Celtics are head and shoulders above everybody.
