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

knew that was coming, smart of the magic not to give that foul the possession before.

Holding loose ball foul on Pierce? No? Of course not.

[Cman]

oh well.
if I am Orlando, I am not necessarily overjoyed by the W, similarly, as a Cs fan, not that worried by the L.

ehh we win this game with KG in the game.  I hate losing, but the Magic have barely been able to beat us twice when we're undermanned.

[xmuscularghandix]

KG should have came in with 5 to go. but i'm not second-guessing. Too much of the Paul Pierce show early, and Perk really screwed us early.

[crownsy]

on the up side, this actaully reinforces my belief that the magic arent that solid of a team. They let us back into a game we had no business anywhere near with KG out and mikki moore and BBD playing major minutes against howard and lewis.

The question is will we have KG and leon back in time for me.

[KCattheStripe]

I guarantee at max a 5 game series if they meet in the playoffs healthy team vs. healthy team.

[Brickowski]

Nice 2nd half comeback without Marbury.  Maybe if they had left him on the bench completely they might have won.

[chief3233]

Ahh cue the frustration!!!!!!

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

well that wouldve been nice paul... but you werent even close..

Oh well, what do you expect when you play with no spirit at all for 3 1/2 quarters

[zerophase]

What happened to giving ray allen the last shot? The celtics didn't even look for him in the last 2 minutes... we've seen the Pierce show before, it didn't work... that's why we got KG and Allen... did Pierce forget that allen existed?

[Thruthelookingglass]

Way to hang in there folks.  That was some tough ball to watch, but I'll give it a positive spin and thank our guys for bringing it back and almost getting it done.

[MetroGlobe]

I think Simmons needs to mount a campaign against Doc Rivers' blatant failure regarding the KG situation.  Come on Sports Guy, we need you!!

Yeah, my thoughts as well.  The only thing I don't like about the game is that Pierce played 44 mins in a loss.  But I understand it is a chance that needed to be taken.

maybe if Pierce wasn't a 2nd unit superhero...
