Celtics fans have to root for the Magic.

Barring the end of civilization as we know it, it's going to come down to the Cavs and Celtics in the EC finals, and home court will be a VERY good thing to have.  The Celtics have lost 10 straight in Cleveland.

It's actually possible for both teams to lose this game.

Orlando could win but Howard could get injured and be out for the rest of the season or...

Cleveland could win the game but LeBron could be lost to an injury.

Either scenario has me doing this:

I know the Magic have a good team and theyve played great on the road this year and have proved themselves, but I still have a hard time taking them seriously.  I still feel like anything inside the three point line is suspect for them.  Theyre playing better defense than they did last year, but its still not near the Celtics or the Cavs level, and even though Howard is a beast, he doesnt have any kind of reliable post game yet.

I dunno maybe I havent watched enough of them yet this year

Either scenario has me doing this:



or, lebron goes up for slam dunk. howard attempts to block it and instead plows into lebron.

and injured (only enough to miss the rest of the season) lebron falls on top of jameer nelsons' knee, giving him a season ending injury. and howard becomes so depressed that he refuses to ever play again for orlando....

and then while in retirement, howard experiences an epiphany and comes out of retirement to join the celtics...refusing to accept anything more than the veteran minimum for the rest of his career.

delusion.... it's not just for breakfast anymore.  :)

100% agreed. Cleveland on the road looks like the C's biggest obstacle.

The Magic are like the Mavs a few years back... They are gunna have a great record but suck in the playoffs. They are overachieving right now. You can't build a championship team on 3 point shooters.

Become Legendary.

Howard with 20/11 already. Celtics have to be the big man kryptonite. Paul Milsap is the only big I can think off the top of my head who's had a great game against the Celtics this season. Goooo Magic (and Spurs)!
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Ugh  another thing. Cavs have to be the whiniest team in the league. Its like they don't realize every call doesn't have to go their way.

And this is why Anderson Varejo is my least liked player in the league.
