No doubt.  I was watching this game today and I kept asking: "How are we playing game 7 right now?"

If the Magic played like that from the get go, we would have been swept.  Seriously.  Playing like we did, we had no business playing game 7 at home.  The Celtics looked plain terrible, not like a second round playoff team or a 2nd seed at all. 

I hate to say it, but John Hollinger was right.  The Magic finally started hitting 3s and they buried us with each one, and boy did they bury us deep.  It'll take us all off-season to get ourselves out of the grave they dug for us tonight.

At least we can hope that the Magic can pull that kind of play out against the Cavs.

This entire series in retrospect was Orlando slowly clamping down further on us defensively, and finding their stroke offensively.  I believe things would've been different with our full team out there, but it is what it is, and the better team won.  Congrats to the Magic, and I hope they give Cleveland a good series.

Ugh how about no.

Our shots were short and theirs were open. We had no legs left, couldn't rotate at all anymore. We couldn't have beaten Detroit or even New York on Sunday.

The Magic won by attrition, it's undeniable, and they are fools if they don't know it. The C's running out of gas doesn't suddenly mean they aren't an extremely limited team of stand around jump shooters with no play maker and one super rebounder/shot blocker with no real post moves yet.

Right now, other Eastern Conference teams are looking at Orlando and kicking themselves for not making more of a push this year. Nobody anticipated KG going down and this team running out of gas.
