Magic (2-2) at Celtics (2-2) Game 5 5/12

[Redz]

We need a "jump on my back" half from PP i'm afraid.

He can carry the burden though...We know that

[celticinorlando]

and it is obvious that howard is going to get what he wants by the refs tonight....but boston falls in love with the jumper and it costs them...they need to go to the basket...

[Who]

Orlando has played very good defense.

Boston's offense has been poor ... timid.

[Redz]

When did Rondo become allergic to paint? 

Since Howard either swatted or altered every thing he brought in there

[Rondo_is_better]

Barkley: "Dwight Howard is the best player in this series"

What the hell are you smoking Charles. Dwight's no finals MVP, and not a HOF yet. Idiot.

[BASS_THUMPER]

yeah rondo reboundin, but he needs pt number not reb numbers

[johnnyrondo]

We're losing because Ray Allen has only 3 points. He was supposed to step up in KG's absence. I love Ray, but he's been awful this series.

[celticinorlando]

orlando is just outworking boston...for rebounds....and playing quicker...they seem to understand that this game really swings the series...but to play 2 horrible first halfs at home is unacceptable

[BASS_THUMPER]

lol

yao ming sounds like he from the hood

[greg683x]

I like how Kenny Smith is praising Rondo now for hanging around on the offensive glass, when in the Chicago series it seemed like he was picking on him about it.

[mahonedog88]

not good not good not good.

Momentum really does play NO factor in this series.  And it seems like neither does homecourt advantage either.

Couple of pointers:
-I'm glad Ray made that three, but he proceeded to throw the ball away the next two possessions he touched it.  So overall, another terrible half for him.
-Dwight Howard is beastly on the boards which doesn't bode well for us.
-Unfortunately, it looks like Big Baby left his jumpshot in Orlando after he hit the game winner.
-Pierce is gonna have to have a HUGE game if we're gonna pull this one out.
-Rashard Lewis should shake KG's hand for being injured this series.  Cause I hope he realizes he'd be having a terrible series if KG was playing.  Props to him though, he's been Orlando's all around best player and rightfully so.

Not feeling the vibe of this game tonight.  It seems like this team needs to be down in order for them to play at their full potential.

Truth be told, he's been our best rebounder after Perk. He needs points, but he does need to continue to rebound. The fact that he's stepped up and rebounded in KG and Powe's absence has been HUGE.

[BASS_THUMPER]

lol...cuban got scared...ken would have knocked him out

[celticinorlando]

again...rondo has to push the tempo and get inside....but it is just a struggle for boston to string  defensive stops together and then ray allen turning it over and bricking 3s is killing the Cs

I hope he won't realize that, because it will put so much pressure on him!! But I think he's already aware of, no-one else can hit a shot, it's pathetic...
