[QUOTE=MrUnstopable]SVG will play or start Reddick more and he will make the difference.[/QUOTE]
LOL..Reddick, Just Like Delonte West would of Made Difference if he weren't busy about thinking about banging Lebron's Mom.

Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
Magic are trying to be last year's Cavs.

Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
I still stand by "Magic in 3."

Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
"Magic will win in 4 or 5".
Glad to see you're changing your tone. Can't wait for game 2 buddy. :roll:
-
Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
they just need to play more physical (that goes double for Howard) and knock down shots. reddick does need more time out there, but really because Barnes is injured.
-
Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
This series will be tied 2-2 after 4 anyhow, Boston plays horrible at home.

[QUOTE=Indian guy]It's possible. You never know what you're gonna get from Boston at home.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I'm not worried about it. This should be a wakeup call for Orlando and most importantly Dwight Howard. He needs to move the ball more and Orlando needs to run their offense through Nelson and Carter. Reddick needs to get the bulk of the SG minutes. I'm confident SVG will make these changes.

Dwight, you let me and my main man Vince down..
... and the Magic, and Orlando, and DC Comics.
come on, man. get it together. you should be better than that.
(props to boston)

No way Magic can beat Boston without Hedo

Post-game thoughts on the Celtics beating Magic in 2010 East Conf Finals game 1
The Boston Celtics beat the Magic 92-88 to take Game 1 in Orlando, and now lead the 2010 Eastern conference finals 1-0.
Paul Pierce was terrific, Ray Allen's shot was hot, and the Celtics defense was terrific, especially on Dwight Howard, who shot 3-of-10 for 13 points, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks, but 7 turnovers
Discuss the game and how the series looks now!

Dwight's nothing without Hedo Turkoglu feeding him alleyoops

there has to be some kind of hope. players have to step up to get respect. i'm not doggin' him. i want him to play some ball!!!

Re: Dwight, you let me and my main man Vince down..
Sheed outplayed Howard today. It wasn't really close. I never would have envisioned Sheed outplaying anyone a month ago.
-
Re: Dwight, you let me and my main man Vince down..
Howard's 3 point shooters didn't help him either.. the Magic need everyone... not just Howard.

Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
:lol ISH is the home of overreactions. It seems like which ever team wins they get on the Bandwagon. Orlando is a great Away team and Boston isn't a great home team.

Good call. It's possible we are watching the two best teams in the NBA. This is going to be a long series.

Re: Post-game thoughts on the Celtics beating Magic in 2010 East Conf Finals game 1
Having the ability to defend Dwight single coverage with both your center AND backup center is huge
-
Re: Dwight, you let me and my main man Vince down..
And the haters come out. He's getting mugged on every shot and if that's not enough the celtics get away with flops when he gets near the ball.
Pietrus didn't do shit, Reshard is a waste of space. They couldn't get going from outside so their inside game took a hit.

Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
[QUOTE=MrUnstopable]I said 5 or 6.[/QUOTE]
You said sweep or 5 :confusedshrug: No matter, Magic were manhandled in the 1st, and all Celtics had to do is to win at least one of the first games away. Now they might get two wins before going to Boston, and you know how it would end.
[B]There was no question which team was better[/B], although I liked Magics 4th quarter, but clutch Ray and Pierce sealed the deal. Since Howard wont have [I]much [/I]better games during the series, its up to Jameer, Gortat and Carter to show up every game to have a chance, which is a bit unlikely.

Re: Post-game thoughts on the Celtics beating Magic in 2010 East Conf Finals game 1
How the **** did the Celtics only win by 4? I went and ate dinner because I figured the game was over.
-
Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
Only reason it got close is boston got bored towards the end :lol :lol .. Whateva happened to the High powered offense. This orlando magic fan i know was talking about " How are they gonna stop the 3 point shooting ??" while laughing hysterically. I told him they shut down the best player in the game for 3 games in a row, magic won't be a problem for them.

celtics are not going to see kobe in the finals, up by 20 and only win by a lucky 4 point lead? :lol

Howard won't have much better games? :lol Howard will rebound. Orlando not playing for 6 days hurt them this time. That was a physical game and there is no way you can simulate that in practice. Orlando has always been resilient and I have no reason to think they won't come back from this.

Re: Post-game thoughts on the Celtics beating Magic in 2010 East Conf Finals game 1
The Magic need to get over the mental hurdle in order to beat the Celtics. They've got all the pieces they need to win this series, but it doesn't look like they think they're good enough to win a 7 game series against them.

You have a very 1dimensional view of the game.
Hedo's doing great with the raps now btw:roll:

Re: Orlando will still win in 6.
Game 1 was a defensive game. The Celts defensive won the game, but they were lossing it in the 4th quarter in the game. The Magic needs to make their shots. They had a couple of open shots, but the ball didn't go in. It should be a interesting series.

Nelson vs. Rondo: A lot of Rondo's effectiveness is what he does in the open floor. Orlando is best in the league at getting back on the fast break. Why? Because Howard is their lone rebounder so everyone gets back in time. Nelson has been playing incredible ball in the playoffs averaging 21 ppg on 51 percent shooting. They both do great things for their respective teams and Rondo's man to man defense will be taken away because of the pick and roll play of the Magic.
Advantage: Even
Barnes vs. Allen: Matt Barnes will probably start off on Allen then Reddick will get his run at him. Don't laugh because Reddick made Allens life hell last year in the playoffs.. He was all over him
Advantage: Slight Advantage Allen
VC vs. Pierce: Pierce has been up and down this post season, mostly down. Vince the past 2 years has had a field day against the Celtics and is extremely crafty with getting shots and getting in the lane.
Advantage: Moderate Advantage VC
Lewis vs. KG: KG has been playing incredible this post season and you know Orlando will have a game plan for him. Whenever Lewis is overmatched with a big PF Orlando always shades with Howard and Perkins being a non threat offensively will make it easier to neutralize KG. Lewis is one of the best shooters in the NBA and can get his shot against anyone. He will have his hands full with KG though.
Advantage: Moderate Advantage KG
Howard vs. Perkins: Perkins always plays Howard great on defense but Howard always plays great defense and is a great rebounder on both ends of the floor. Perkins is tough though and will battle him for everything he gets. But Howard impacts the game in so many ways (help defense, offensive rebounding, altering shots, blocking shots, pick and roll defense) that even though Perkins might/will hold his points down, that doesn't mean Perk has impacted the game nearly as much as Howard
Advantage: Big Advantage Orlando
Bench: Orlando has one of the best benches in the league with Williams, Reddick, Pietrus, Anderson, Gortat, and Bass. They usually go 10 deep and should the series go 6 to 7 games their advantage of going up against an older team will be apparent. Outside of Tony Allen, Glen Davis, and Rasheed Wallace, they really don't go too deep to their bench.
Advantage: Big Advantage Orlando
My Official Prediction: Orlando in 5 or 6.

Re: Post-game thoughts on the Celtics beating Magic in 2010 East Conf Finals game 1
sorry dr. insidehoops.
i just felt to point it out that howard let a lot of people down. it's cool.
man, this must really mess with the magic's mind. they haven't lost in a month so how the hell are they gonna deal with this?? boston is coming strong so there's no room to play around. you're in a "real" series now.
play some ball, man.. i still believe in y'all.

We can all appreciate your devotion to being a supposed hardcore Magic fan, but truth of the matter is, your homerism is excessive enough to the point it discredits and clouds your judgment as a general NBA fan.
Speaking of bandwagon fans... Boston is and has forever been one of the more established teams in the league in terms of fan base. Orlando, completely different story.
