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

[Cman]

dwight kind of threw SVG under the bus...said the coach needs to stick with what's working and who's playing well, whether or not its the starters or not...

I'm sure looking forward to game 6 in Orlando!  Too bad the Orlando Magice aren't...

Also anyone have any idea why they didn't go to Rashard Lewis more, it seemed like he scored every time he got the ball, and neither Ray Allen nor Big Baby could stop him?

B/c Stan Van Gundy is their coach

Glad I can eat my words from earlier in this thread.

We came back from the dead tonight in the 4th.

ye of little faith. learn a lesson on not giving up tonight?

yeah, there looks like some dissension in the ranks in orlando. howard seemed p---ed about SVG's moves in this game. and SVG...Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. man. he basically said they got no calls down the end, when those are plays we never got calls on all game long. it's like he's looking for any excuse possible to not blame himself.

And you guys want my man Rondo to stop shooting floaters

So just a head's up. We are going to win this game, so I know there will be some "It's Over. Season's Over" posts, and you will look foolish. So think twice

Great post from pg 17 at halftime

This is the Marbury we were all hoping for. Hope he stays for awhile.

Did Stan miss anybody to throw under the bus?

Yeah he didn't mention the kid Baby shoved

ESPN Said Scal had Flu-like symptoms. Is there anything else that can go against the C's. Makes the win even more impressive.

Swine Flu?

I just got home from my brother's house. Great comeback. Orlando played solid D on the C's most of the game, as did the C's much of the time.

I loved how Doc handled the rotation. Early in the third when Rondo sat with his fourth Marbury wasn't getting it done so he put in House so they couldn't sag off him. Then he rode the Marbury unit to start the fourth but went back to the starters once it became clear we needed stops as well as scores.

Great all around game by the Captain and Baby. Rondo played poorly most of the night, so did Ray. His many early TOs were brutal. But both made huge plays late. Rondo securing the possession by throwing it off Dwight and Ray's shot that allowed us to take the lead! Great game.

Would anyone be surprised if the entire team was forced to forfeit to the Cavs because our 15 players all have swine flu? At this point stern would probably poison the team to make sure baby leroid gets his ringy poo

btw, chris mannix has a great article about the celtics up on si.com. the first 2 lines are just awesome. "If there are basketball gods, they hate the Boston Celtics. Boston, however, hates them right back."

DONE!!

61 65 pages. Everyone got a TP. Even the Debbie Downers who still after two years just don't realize that all they have to do is believe!!!

A C's W is worth a TP 
I love handing them out.
Especially after a win like this!
