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

So from just the posts on the 17th page it looks like things are not going well at all.  Can i get a bit of a summary.  I got a final and had to lock myself in the library to avoid watching the game and not doing work. 

D.O.M.I.N.A.T.I.O.N.

There I did it in 10 letters.

Nah. He just pointed out a fundamental thing Rondo is doing wrong. When Redick runs at the arc, Rondo HAS to take the ball to the rack.

It's incredible how useless he's been since he smacked Brad Miller. Night and day bad.

Looks like this game is over guys

Did last series games not teach you anything?  We sucked up the joint in the 1st half, but the game isn't over.

We weren't down 18 at all. We are getting dominated. Its not over but AWFUL.

Though Im sure you said the series was over about 18 times.

they can't, I think it's obvious... I can't imagine they don't want to but they can't do anything, orlando is a better team overall!!

Is it really that bad?  I was trying to keep up on courtsided live on nba.com and it seemed it was close until the last part of the second quarter...  has it been bad throughout?

Where is the energy, the passion, the emotion?

That was the worst half of basketball since that debacle in New Orleans the other night.

Yeesh.

I just want to know why they picked game 1 of the conference semis to play their worst half of basketball. Step it up.. come on now.

[CoachBo]

Yeah, it's that bad. We have zero movement without the basketball, no dribble penetration, no rebounding and no defense.

Beyond that, things look good.

[FLCeltsFan]

We still have a half to come back from this.  Celtics shots will start to play.  Celtics have commit to defense.  Can't let your opponent shoot 50% and expect to win.  Play some defense.  Hit some shots and we are right back in this.

Bite your tongue...

How about Ray Allen with a smooth minus-19 in the first half?  Nice.

[QuinielaBox]

Not a SINGLE thing I like going on out there.

Play at the point has been awful. Settling for outside shot after outside shot. Nothing on the glass. Pierce on the bench. Ray not shooting well. Slow on the rotations.

Worst half I've seen out of the Celtics in two years.

You need to go down there, Bo, and berate them. Hey, they'll be playing ball at the Bronx tonight.

You know somethings wrong when STEPHON MARBURY is your leading scorer.

yea i know right, a former all-star? crazy. 5th highest player in the nba this year?

they lost game one vs the bulls and battled back...looks like they are going to use that same script....boston looks slow and like they dont know what to do
