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.

Congrats on 100 TP`s, Greg.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

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

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

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... :-[

You gotta do what you gotta do
Yup

Kenny has to talk about something.

not good not good not good.

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


They actually do... Lose tonight and then tell me if there's one in a million chances for us to win the series...

Do that and we'll win going away.  Which of course, I am all for.

Just looking at the halftime stats and the only area where Orlando is really better by a wide margin is shooting percentage, which is strange because on the court they are dominating the C's.

C's have only 4 TO's.
C's have more offensive rebounds.
C's have more steals.
C's have more shot attempts.
C's are only being out reounded by 4
C's are shooting better from behind the line
C's have hit all 4 FT's they have taken while Magic are 3-4.


If they just shoot better with better ball movement and tightening up the defense, the Celtics should win this game. Orlando isn't playing well the C's are just playing atrociously.

  • Thank you Eddie!
Anybody think BBD leading in shot attempts (9) is a problem?

All depends on whether or not he's hitting them, which he's not right now.  They need to get Ray Allen on fire and train House to keep that foot off the line, and soon.
