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

[Roy Hobbs]

What a terrible way to end the quarter after a big run.

Time for a little positive karma.

[cordobes]

Good run to end the quarter, but what exactly was Rondo trying to do in that last possession?

Also, people should be a little more relaxed. Teams that can get stops as easily as the Celtics can are almost never out of a game.

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

Very intense game.

really? huh...coulda fooled me...
I wish it was, but ive seen a pretty poor effort from the c's so far, and right now they finally are showing signs of life, but might have already dug to deep a hole...they kind of had the attitude to sleepwalk through the first 2 1/2 quarters, keep it close and expect to win...just not a 48 min performance

[CoachBo]

Stops aren't that easy when you're only spot-playing possessions defensively.

[celticinorlando]

when boston puts effort and energy into their defense stops are a lot easier...we need ray allen to bring it home....but it depends on the defense...as usual

[fan33]

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

lol, only 18 times so far, eh...lol

Capt. got mugged there... ughhhh

[celticinorlando]

just tough to take to watch them work themselves out and then back in only to come so close....a lot games this year have played out on this script

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

Yeah, wow, a pierce no call that turns into a turnover and pietrus 3

[RMO]

Of course ESPN won't show the replay on that Pierce drive before the commercial break.

[celticinorlando]

pierce certainly hasn't been getting those calls lately....

same way we were playing in the first, only paul pierce is making his shots.

[Thruthelookingglass]

Can't let that no-call and 3 get us upset.  Magic are rattled and we have to keep escalating the pressure.  Let's see them cave like the inferior team they truly are.

[celticinorlando]

gotta get it under this 5-8 point range...

[MetroGlobe]

That was as bogus a no-call as you'll see in a game, I think.  This game is killing me.

[bruinsandceltics]

Davis is having an awful game
