Captain's Feeling it..

WOW!!

Mark Jackson: If Orlando keeps posting up Dwight Howard they will be swept!!

i'll agree with him. the celtics aren't double teaming him therefore no kicking out to an open 3 or long jumper. that's huge considering the magic are a great shooting team. other teams need to double team howard in the post because of their lack of bigs. case in point atlanta.

Big mistake not constantly going at Howard

Nice jumpshot by Rondo

Hold off the Magic for the first few minutes of the fourth and the Celtics will be sitting pretty.

Rondo's shot keeps getting better..!

TP.

Rondos been sticking those end of qtr shots--good close out.  12 more minutes!

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

ho-hum. hum-drum. just another Rondo quarter killer. hmm, don't know if "quarter-killer" is a term that should catch on for those end of quarter jumpers he hits. oh well.

Big mistake not constantly going at Howard

I'd have actually subbed Sheed in earlier and tried to work it to him in low block a couple of times.  The thing is Howard has been tentative ever since returning so that 4th foul definitely had an impact on the game.

[RMO]

I really like that Pierce was willing to give it up on that end of quarter play rather than forcing something.

[Drucci]

Huge 3rd quarter! Pierce still hot offensively, Baby with huge plays offensively and defensively, Rondo with the big shot to end the quarter... Up 8 heading into the 4th, the Celtics are in control, extend the lead and finish them!!

Hopefully Ray has some big shots in this 4th quarter after being invisible.

[Celtic]

Paul and Rondo have to keep attacking, get those two fouls on Dwight.

C's get the ball to start the 4th, get it to ten and don't look back, come home up 2!

[jdpapa3]

I agree nick. I'd personally do a 3-5 Pick and roll with Glen Davis and have Pierce try to upfake at the rim to try to draw a 5th on Dwight.

[PosImpos]

Pierce should finish with 32+!  I hope.
