Magic (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Game 1 5/4

Tony Allen's brain and Rondo's shot are off again.

[PosImpos]

How long is it going to be before Doc gives up on Tony Allen?  Seriously, I'd be happier to see Bill Walker in there.  At least he's a sort of unknown quantity who might surprise us.  With Tony Allen we know what we're getting - not much.

[Hoyo de Monterrey]

Hideous pair of possessions... Nice timeout Doc TA gets three dribbles then stop the game.

[Quinn]

everything sucks right now.
hope we explode after this time out, and get ourselves together by halftime.

[Celtic]

Feel like playing Celtic basketball yet? This is looking bad, no D, and bad shots, must play smarter.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Geeze. Defend the perimeter. Do not double Howard.

[celticinorlando]

boston doesn't have enough outside shooting right now....they have no scoring options and orlando is picking them a part on the pick and roll

At least that was the best defensive possession I had seen us play this quarter.

Exactly what I was thinking.  I'm surprised Doc let him get three in.

[Who]

Big four minutes here without Pierce -- they've done okay so far, first minute and a half, offense has been terrible but Orlando haven't scored either. Playing Orlando even for these four minutes is something I'd be very happy with.

It'd be huge for Orlando if they could extend this lead to double digits before halftime.

[Neurotic Guy]

Reggie Miller is correct - the idea here is to keep this to single digits -- then a well-rested Pierce lights it up in the second half.  Orlando is giving us the opportunity to keep it close by missing a couple of easy shots.  Let's get something off this timeout.

dont understand why we're doubling howard either.  especially with perk in the game.

[MattD]

The thing is, Orlando really doesn't look that good on D...it's more that they bait you into playing a certain style, and unfortunately we're a very bait-able team.

[BASS_THUMPER]

hey all...just got home...not looking that good so far...but i always keep the faith in the green!

u must have faith for this to work mr vincent!!!
