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.

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.

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...

The math is simple: No KG + Tight 7 game series with 7th seed = legions of doubters. I don't blame people for doubting the Celtics. The math seems pretty convincing. Charles Barkley is the first person to step up and pick Orlando. "Boston has no shot at beating Orlando," said Barkley. "Without Kevin

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...
