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

[mahonedog88]

I'm actually amazed that I'm about to say this, but we should have won this game.  We had SO MANY opportunities to catch these guys and we didn't.  This is even more frustrating than being blown out by 30.

Because with the way we played in this half, you have to ask "where was this in the first half?"  Now there's no excuse.  At least if we lost by 30, you could say there was no passion and just tired legs.

Not anymore.

I know Rondo turned it on in the 2nd half, but Im kind of disapointed in Doc for not playing Steph more in the 2nd half.  The man finally started to heat up, Doc shouldve tried to throw more gas on the fire.

[Quinn]

very well fought second half by the celtics.

Well said. TP

It's a moral victory because we figured out the formula. Now it's up to Doc to start game two off with it.

I think we've hit our maximum for moral victories against the Magic.

Well.. we had opportunities. I'm still proud of them for coming back.

Great Call. Magic are Magic 

[celticinorlando]

so much for that valued #2 seed and homecourt...would have rather been the 3 seed and played philly... need to get off to a better start...

[Celtic]

Terrible game Celtics, try playing a full 48 next time and comebacks are a lot easier, sometimes you are even ahead and don't have to come back.

[silverb]

Ok. So we make the adjustments we need to. Although we came up very big in the second half, we can't put ourselves down in a hole.

We need to play that kind of defense right from the start.

You guys don't understand, the Magic basically had a 30 point lead on us and we crawled back into the game and we didn't even play well during the comeback.

Ya we got some turnovers and made some 3's and got to the line, but we also turned the ball over a ton, made some stupid decisions with the ball and some moronic play callings (not going for 2 for 1).

If we play our game with intensity and defense we will win the next 4.

[PosImpos]

Well.. we had opportunities. I'm still proud of them for coming back.

I like your name because it's ironic.
