The Celtics sure stunk it up in that second quarter. But they played like we know they are capable of in the end of the 3rd and 4th. They lost the first game last series and pulled it out so not worried yet. They just need to remember that the game starts at the tip off, not after half time. Anyway, seeing that the Lakers lost makes it a lot better. Watching the Lakers lose is almost as good as seeing the Celtics win. We're gonna get the win. They're going to be worn out and still thinking about the Bulls while we are out on a mission with something to prove.I say we win by 40Magic lose game 1 by 10+ pointsRashard should be averaging 25 a game with Big Baby on him.

Those are Doc Rivers' words assessing his team's performance in last night's 95-90 loss to the Magic. Quite frankly, I think Doc was rather kind with his description. The Celtics brought pre-season intensity into Game 1 of a playoff series. Inexcusable. What is wrong with Rondo? He looked severely disjointed in the first 3 quarters of the game. Nearly every shot hit the front of...

Say what?Yes, J.J. Redick has spent most of his NBA with the Orlando Magic career sitting on the bench. By all accounts, he’s a long way from coach Jeff Van Gundy’s favorite and in spite of his ability to shoot the rock, Redick has only averaged 14.4 minutes and 5.5 points per game.Courtney Lee's injury in the first round of the NBA Playoffs has given Redick, Duke's career-leading...

Could last night have playe out any worse for the Boston Celtics? They just continued to settle for outside jump shots after outside jump shot. This is the NBA! Who cares if Dwight Howard is going to occasionally block your shot, just drive it and draw fouls.
I guess it really doesn’t help when Ray Allen [...]

In case you missed it last night during the Magic's defeat of the
Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their playoff series, Dwight Howard of the
Magic just destroyed a shot by Ray Allen into the crowd behind the
basket. Howard is no stranger to shot blocks, but this one looked like
he was about to jump out of the gym.

Go Celticsox!
Contest winner and Ray Allen
My guilt at falling asleep at the end of the sixth inning last night carried over into my dreams. In my subconscious, the Red Sox found themselves in any number of nightmare scenarios — mostly huge leads blown in exciting walk-off fashion, hit by Mark Teixeira and the guy my high school girlfriend made out with during a swim team trip to DC. I woke...

I'd rather get waterboarded then watch another game like that. The Celtics fell behind by 28 points after a couple of horrible stretches in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. But because Orlando is a poorly coached team that continues to seek out three point shots even when holding a big lead, the C's made this a game.But as the Celtics whittled the lead down to single digits in the...

Celtics Fall For That Old Familiar Magic
Well that didn't last long.
If you had hopes of the Celtics riding the high of a game seven win over Chicago and coasting to an easy game one win over Orlando, you're probably not in a good mood right now.
The Magic did, well, what the Magic do. Shooting 27 three-pointers and making 9 of them, the Magic were able to build a pretty sizable lead before the Celtics came storming...

Eastern Conference Semis - Game 1
The Celtics don't know how to accept gifts. Trailing by as many as
28 points in the 3rd quarter, the Celtics battled back to get to within
single-digits, but could not capitalize on numerous Orlando turnovers
down the stretch. In the end, the comeback came up short, and the
Celtics dropped another Game 1 at home, 95-90. Paul Pierce led the
Celtics with 23...

It’s bad enough the Sixers ended their 2008-2009 on a low note, after getting blown out but the Orlando Magic 114-89, but was it necessary for their backup center/11th man on the bench to come out and rip the coach after the loss?Theo Ratliff was the last player to leave the locker room after Thursday night’s loss...

If I had told you Paul Pierce was going to score 3 points in just 15 minutes, yet the Celtics would destroy Orlando 112 - 94, you'd have thought I'd gone Paula Abdul crazy.Eddie House was Megan Fox hot tonight: 31 pts, 11-14 FG, 4-4 3FG. He hit some unbelievable shots in this game. He embarrassed Rafer Alston so badly, that Alston snapped and slapped House in the head after one...

Congratulations Portland Trail Blazers on a great season. You overachieved, brought the city to hysteria not seen since the early 90s and created a solid foundation on which to work on. Now get over it.It's time to start looking towards next year. The Blazers, if they keep their roster intact, are a lock for the playoffs for the next decade. But is that what management wants? To...

Keys To Boston Beating Magic? Rajon And Big Baby Need To Step Up
After weighing all the factors I believe that the Celtics will end as the victors of a well fought series but because of the loss of the “Big Ticket” Boston All-Star forward Kevin Garnett there will not be a Big Three this year. Instead Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will need help from else where to defeat Orlando. In this long time NBA observer’s view the two players that will...
Chicago Bulls: What We've Learned
What we’ve learned about our Chicago Bulls. 1. Vinny From Black is still an average coach. He’s the case study example for the saying “Players win games, coaches lose them”. Del Negro's coaching acumen won’t win us games, but there’s a chance that it will lose us some. 2. Ben Gordon is a clutch shooter, but causes match up problems for the Bulls’ defense because...
