Hedo hurt?

[CoachBo]

Just caught the end of this on the WGN halftime tonight. Anyone fill in the details?

[Change]

Fast Recovery hopefully. They already lost their all star point guard, they can't afford to lose Hedo

[Jaycelt]

Sprained an ankle.
Took a hard elbow to the nose just minutes before.
Tough night for Hedo and the Magic.

rose went hard

off topic but chi gonna be tuff

[illantari]

Magic lose, so are we the 2 seed now?

[guava_wrench]

Yes. Even if we end up with the same record, Orlando can't catch our conference record.

[celticinorlando]

hedo had to be helped off...they say it is a sprain...dont know how bad yet

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

thats too bad, we need him out there for Paul Pierce to expose over and over again, hopefully he'll be OK, otherwise the magic might try and put someone who can actually guard paul pierce on the floor

Yeah, because other then when Paul Pierce was playing center against brad miller, we've really struggled against those bulls, huh?

the bulls dont know how to win a playoff series, the pistons do.. Bulls please

Bassthumper's not the only one saying this. Hollinger wrote about it the other day, saying that the Bulls are streaking while the Cs are struggling. Which in itself is counterfactual, since the Cs have the longest winning streak in the league and are the only team with a 9-1 record over the last 10. Not that the stat guy should be bothered with stupid things like facts. Also, somebody in Chicago wrote a similar thing recently. It's enough to get me wondering and fearing, but I think I'm being paranoid. Rose and Gordon have played well lately, but they haven't faced Rondo and Ray and the Cs interior D. But still, we did poorly in the first round last year against a young, inexperienced team, so there's room for doubt.

goes to show how underappreciated and disrespected the celtics are
ah yes hollinger, the celtics are struggling, while the bulls are streaking. what an idiot.

Im the least scared of the bulls then any other team in the playoffs, so Ill still take my chances with them.

I keep hearing people say the celtics will struggle against the bulls, the bulls are fighting to play the celtics instead of the cavs, etc etc etc.
really? if we're gonna struggle against chicago, and potentially go deep with them in a playoff series with or without KG, then how good are we really? the 60 wins is a fluke? I dont understand...because the bulls suck

[Fafnir]

I was at the last Bulls game. The Bulls will be tougher than some believe, but that game was a lose due to injuries.

With only Perkins and Moore to play the 4/5 we had to play Ray at the 3 and have him guard John Salmons. This killed us for much of the game. Also Bill Walker personally gave the Bulls 6 to 8 cheap free throws. The issues with Brad Miller and the pick and roll were well known. We lost a lot of rebounds because of we only had Perk in the fourth. He'd rotate and force a tough layup and then no one could get the rebound.

And we still almost won, in Chicago.

With a healthy front court and Tony Allen to check Salmons instead of Ray with the second unit we'll win that series in 5.
