Getting ready to go, Alston is out, but Lee is in and it's in Orlando, I think we'll do pretty good. Let's go Magic!
Courtney Lee's doing great for just having surgery on his face. Looks like the guy from Detroit, can't remember his name, but he's playing very well.
Getting Lee back is impacting this game way more than losing Austin. Dwight and Rashard playing awesome doesn't hurt.
Yes Johnson is playing out of his mind and Lee seems to be settling back in. Howard needs to step up more imo and we should win this game.
Great win by the Magic. Johnson was huge. Lee was a very pleasent suprise. Turk and Shard were driving to the hole and hitting three's. Howard was a blocking machine. J.J. Reddick was solid all the way around.
Eddie House is a dirty player. He talks trash after every shot he makes. He's constantly shoving people when he doesn't have the ball. He hooked his arm inside Dwights leg while running past him to make it look like Dwight knocked him backwards. He is not a respectable player. He set up Petrius to get elbowed by one of the fat asses. I can see why Alston would slap him. He is a cheap player who resorts to cowardly tactics, but does just enough not to get called for it. Eventually you gotta check a guy like him and put him in his place. He is a pathetic defender and only sees play time because of his quick 3 pointer. Anyone see Big Fatass Davis flop on Hedo? He fowled him, and then went out of his way to fall on top of Hedo with all of his weight. I just can't stand the way the Celtics play. They abuse the foul system. Since they have 4 guys who suck in the paint, they can just continuously rotate their players and keep fouling the entire game. It's pretty pathetic. And I'm tired of the media kissing their asses even when they are getting their asses kicked and they are playing dirty basketball. Oh yeah, Go Magic! Celtics have to win 3 out 4 to advance now. Let's make it 3-1 on Sunday baby!!!
Man that was an impressive victory, something still seems like its missing though. Is it me or is it the Celtics game plan to try to take cheap fouls, flop, and other bullcrap to try to win these games? Maybe it's me just seeing what the refs don't see. I hate the Celtics, defending champs or not... they are a crappy team. Stop Rondo and Allen and we're good to go.
the magic have been without Jameer Nelson for a long effing time now. The Celtics have no excuse. Ray Allen was invisible last night.
That was the same thing that teams complained about last postseason, I believe the Hawks said that the Celtics talk a lot and are dirty. I recall Andre Igoudala also saying something along those lines when they met in the regular season. Thing is, that's hard to do on a consistent basis. That pick and roll is tough to defend. Magic have played well though. Agreed. The media gets erections when they here Kevin Garnett moan at games from the sidelines.
Ofcoarse, we should ignore the fact we are without our starting All-Star Point Guard- who is also one of the better shooters in the league......and just look at Kevin Garnett as if he is the only one worth mentioning.
I was looking at stats on ESPN. I checked out fouls per position in the postseason. The Celtics players lead each position in fouls. CHECK IT OUT. Click on every position, first name to show up on each list is a player from the Celtics. EDIT: just checked out last years stats, same thing. That my friends, is how they plan on winning the championship again. Oh and make sure you look at post season stats only.

The Magic can not afford to come out flat tonight or they will blow a chance to really close this thing out.
Sorry but Garnett>>>>>>>Nelson. Nelson is a top 5-10 point guard in the league but Garnett is a top 5-10 player in the league.
Your saying they won the championship last season because they talk a lot of smack and can draw fouls?
Rondo just flopped and got a foul called on Howard, then got up and laughed about it. I hate that little *****. They're whole team is so cheap. And it all starts with their coach. Their entire gameplan revolves around fouls.
I cant even begin to describe how much I hate the Celtics. I have absolutely no respect for the way they play.
A foul should be shots and possesion. I'd like to see the Celtics play a game where they can't milk the foul system to cover up their lack of defense.
