Celtics (23-4) at Magic (16-12) 12/25

You guys sound pretty concerned about a Magic team with only 1 legit big man. If Dwight goes down in foul trouble, we win the game.

We shall win the game regardless. Boston eats scrambled teams like this up for breakfast.

You do realize right now the C's only have one legit big man as well? This will be a tough matchup for this hampered C's team.

edit: one legit center that is

Shaq will be huge.  Our guys will be looking for him when they burn by their man and Howard comes to help.

Unfortunately, its usually our guys in foul trouble when people get in the post ... not the other way around.

If somehow we can keep the fouls down and get dwight a few ( which im not sure how we could ) then we have a much better shot.

I'm not gonna pretend that JO can defend Howard half as good as Perkins or Shaq, but if he plays tomorrow, he's legit enough for me, especially if put in against whoever would be considered Howard's backup.

The big key to this game will be Nate Robinson's defense against Jameer and Gilbert + the team's ability as a whole to defend those 1-5 pick and rolls. They do those two things and this will be a comfortable victory ... they don't and Orlando has a shot.

In a playoff series with a healthy Rondo and hopefully a healthy Perk / Jermaine, those two variables will be very much in Boston's favour, and as a result, they'll destroy the Magic.

haha creepy dude.  Baby Ray especially, though little KG looks nice in his sweater.

More than a shot.  Nate's defense has been horrible lately.  He will have trouble with Arenas who is quite a bit taller.

Hopefully the C's can grind out another W today.

Merry Christmas everyone!

[Drucci]

Eager to see JO back on the court, although I'm not getting my hopes high about his probable performance (lack of conditioning...).

Here is hoping for a Christmas win.

TP FL and go Celtics!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOO It's GAME TIME!

[Who]

Ryan Anderson might provide more of a threat in that starting unit than Brandon Bass does.

Kevin Garnett should be able to provide a lot more help than normal against Dwight.

[Who]

Jameer Nelson far off on Nate Robinson on that first possession.

Nate should take that shot.

Foul numero uno for Dwight Howard.
