Celtics (54-18) at Magic (52-18) 3/24

i thought they were out to avenge the first 20 point arse kicking from the game in boston...guess not.....this team is frustrating...i love them...won't give up on them but they are not a good team for WHATEVER reason right now...injuries....etc...i just don't know if they can get it all back when they have to have it

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

this games over ...sit everybody...theyre embarrasing themselves with their effort anyways...this game meant nothing to them clearly...either that or they just suck

This type of lackadaisical play is what kept Detroit from repeating.  I can't find anyone else to blame besides Rivers.  Sure, he's not playing with a full deck.  But I still think he could make better decisions.  What about 5 minutes per quarter for KG, so he can at least play in the 4th??

Does anyone else think that our players are only playing at half power because they know the coach is handicapping them for the 4th quarter?

that has been my biggest problem with boston this season before and during the injuries...the effort is second class at times against good and bad teams. tired of the injury excuse...tied of hearing seeding doesn't matter....tired of all the talk...No reason this team should be getting beatdown in a BIG BIG national game. this tonight is an embarrasment....i still think orlando loses 3 more games (the heat, cavs and hawks) and boston gets the 2 seed but...if they get the 3...it isn't going to be an easy as a lot of think it will be...orlando is going to be a tough series

we really missed Leon tonight, Mikki and BBD just aren't good rebounders (esspecially if Dwight Howard is within 5 miles) KG was limited, and Perk got in foul trouble. our second round pick needs to be dedicated to the tallest/strongest person in the draft.

Mmmm...no...the players are behind doc...but from what I see they are just bored..I dont know what it is, and the new guys havent helped at all

Take it to the hoop Capt! 

10-2 run and we're back in it, boys!

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

best 3 conecutive possesions in a row all game

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

weird  how out of nowhere they decide to play with some urgency...about time..all game terrible effort...then all of a sudden 4 possesions in a row that are great (oddly enough as soon as kg left)

Im guessing doc said "cut it to 8 before the 4th" and they finally heard him

[celticinorlando]

i just think this team is saving it for the playoffs no matter what the seed...either they will play at a new level..like we expect them to or they will go out in the second round...i just don't know yet...just wish we could get a hold on #2 or just accept #3 and start resting people....this regular season needs to be done

How much of this is Pierce and the C's waking up, and how much the Magic cruising?

80-20?

[Redz]

Come on C's!

Gotta love the Cap'n

Very intense game.

[celticinorlando]

this is why they frustrate me...why can't they play like this from the get go?? this digging themselves into a hole and making a run late only to lose close makes me want to barf

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

I really cant stand dwight howard...it really has nothing to do with this game...Ive just never been a fan
