Magic (0-3) at Celtics (3-0) Game 4 5/24

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

1. Pierce choked.
2. Rondo choked with that idiotic play.
3. Doc Rivers was absolutely outcoached by a LARGE margin in the last 6 minutes of the 4th and OT.

Pathetic.

no excuse for this lackluster effort tonight -- none.  they had so many chances to put this away and failed at every possibility.  even just making their free throws would have put this away in regulation.  just a poor effort.  hope this serves as wake-up slap in the face that they aren't as great as they were thinking they were.  If this doesn't convince them that they can't just sleepwalk through games and win I don't know what will

GREAT GREAT GREAT Coaching there Doc....we had 2 timeouts left...and got NOTHING on 2 straight possessions to end regulation....cause HE WOULD NOT at least use one of them.


PATHETIC way to NOT make it to the FINALS.

Oh, and it didn't help that Scott Foster decided to get Boston in the penalty and call EVERY TICKY TACK foul in the 4th....NICE.

Jeez guys, if someone had told you before the series that The Celtics would be up 3-1 out of the first four I have a feeling you would be as happy about that as I am. The sky isn't falling. The Magic aren't a joke. They can play. Being aghast that The Celtics lost a game, a game in which they played poorly and The Magic played well, is just, I don't even know...have some perspective. We can't win them all. Could we have won this game? Yes. Should we have won this game? Probably yes. But come on. You sound like spoiled children. Sometimes you lose a game. No one goes Fo Fo Fo. The fickleness of the crowd here sometimes is bewildering and disconcerting. We aren't bestowed to win every game. Sometimes they get the best of you. 3-1. That is reality. You're really upset by that?

This made the Celts look bad. The first three games, we played with the lead for three quarters. All 4th quarters, the Magic were winning. In this game we were trailing and only got 1 point lead going into the 4th.

This shows that we still have a very weak 4th qtr and weak at closing out games.

Next game the Celts should get the lead big time for again 3 quarters.

Just saw the game... very frustrating one. I feared this kind of loss when I saw all the dumb plays we made throughout the game. Between TA's stupid turnovers, KG's poor shooting, Rondo's poor decisions... wow. Baby and Paul kept us in the game till the end, kudos to Pierce for tying it in the last minute when we were down 3 but come on... the Pierce iso was terrible. We could have had a game winner, it was obvious this play was going nowhere but we didn't call a timeout/Paul didn't make a pass. Terrible play which led to OT, which led to a loss...

KG and Pierce were MIA in OT, Ray carried the load with his clutch 3's and our defenes was good, getting stops, but we let Howard get 2nd chance opportunity 2 times in a row... unacceptable.

Baby was huge in the 4th, another amazing game for him. I thought Rondo and KG played very poorly, and Rondo didn't defend Jameer well at all.

Anyway, it's still 3-1 but it would have been better to avoing going back to Orlando. We must not collapse in the next game like we did last year. Let's finish them in Orlando and step on their throats early.
