Celtics (1-0) at Magic (0-1) Game 2 5/18

The refs didn't exactly cover themselves with glory but this is also a tough game to officiate.  Extremely intense.

still think we need rondo to keep going to the basket

Now THATS playoff basketball.

Really proud that this team took everything Orlando had to throw at them and withstood and came out with a lead after 2

A strong thrid quarter and a win tonight could COMPLETELY demoralize this Magic team.

Agreed -- this team just continues to impress me.  I am really in awe.  It will be tough to gut out this win -- but it would be huge.

[Casperian]

Despite Pierce` numbers, I think Rondo was our best player in the first half, I love the hustle.

letting them play a little....i don't mind if they keep it even on both ends

I agree about the fast breaks... only Rondo should handle the ball. Ray dribbling through traffic is a turnover 50% of the time. Baby dribbling the length of the floor should never happen.

C's winning in the Magic's house. Pierce is going off. KG and Ray have yet to show up and the first 5 minutes of the half time show is about Howard and the Magic?

Wow!!!

ESPN never hesitates to push David Sterns poster boys of marketability

matt barnes throwing up trash and it goes in....another lucky scrub

honestly, screw that shot. Dude can't make a layup and he hits some uncoordinated, two-handed, push-from-the-chest three? Come on.

This should be framed and posted in the Celtics' locker room.

The Magic and their fans are upset with the officiating. Its been pretty even overall, although it did start in our favor.

The problem with the Magic is that they're trying to play physical D, but they don't know how to do it without fouling. 

[Neurotic Guy]

Is Rashard Lewis playing?  He has simply been neutralized so far. 

[LooseCannon]

If foul trouble forces Doc to play Scal, would we like him to deliver some pale justice on Dwight Howard in retaliation for the flagrant foul if he has an opportunity and it doesn't cost Boston the game?

[misha]

KG has got to start hitting something in order for the C's to win this. Great intensity in the first half. I honestly believe they took the Magic's best shot and are still ahead, despite Ray and KG being MIA on offense.

KG's in for a tough series. Howard's size makes it tough for him to score inside and Lewis is agile and tall enough to bother his jumpers.

KG and Lewis cancel each other out so far in this series. 

[celticinorlando]

just gotta keep playing hard on defense

[RebusRankin]

Why dress Scal instead of Sheldon?
