Magic (2-3) at Celtics (3-2) Game 6 5/28

[CelticSooner]

They played good D that first half but still nothing like they were playing the first 3 games of the series.

As long as the C's have a big lead the Magic aren't going to take many chances behind the arc.

[radiohead]

The D kinda slacked towards the end of the 1st half. The C's just need to pick it up a notch again coming out at the start of the 3rd. So far so good, we can't allow the magic to creep back in and make it close at the endgame. KG seems tentative with his shots tonight. We need him to step up as well.

Ok, they still are +13. Now, stop playing with the eyes on the score, make a play and then another play.

The Magic were supposed to answer with a run, and they managed to cut 8 points. Next is Celtics turn, put it again over 20 and hold on.

I like how they are playing, even with Rondo knocked out by (again) The Elbow aka Dirt Coward aka "next WWE star"

Go Celtics!!!

[FallGuy]

As usual, our guys get a big lead and then stand around on offense, running the shot clock down. Idiots.

Up 13 at the half. Yeah we left some points out there the last few minutes but I'm having a hard time calling the team idiots at this point.

They should know better by now. It's the same bad habit.

I guess it gives them motivation to come out hard in the third.

[Change]

Celtics are winning because of 3point shooting, and transition Offense. The half-court sets look awful.

I don't have access to the game today; how are Sheed, BBD, Rondo, and TA looking?

Any of 'em close to 100%?  

Go C's!!!   Perhaps this is the game where Nate Robinson earns some of his $$ in the summer!

you make it sound like they weren't even trying - they missed some bunnies but they were trying

[Tenacious D]

Despite the meltdown at the end the Cs have taken more shots and took care of the ball and the boards. Still like the way this is going.

[Who]

An early run to open the second half should finish off this Magic team.

However, if the Magic made a run instead, this will probably turn into a dogfight the rest of the way.

Very important to open the second half well.

[USG]

More offense from the bigs and this is a blowout...

Also, why do they keep showing the replay of Dwight blatantly hand checking KG and talking about KG removing his arm?

[MaxwellSmart86]

Gortat------the HUMAN LANE VIOLATION----will they EVER call one on this LOSER?....he's in the Lane WAAAY before our guys are shooting the 2nd free throws...and it actually throws off the actual shot.

[Ohio Celtics Fan]

Everyone is talking about how stupid that foul by KG was. I loved it. I wish he would have hit Howard a little harder or what he did do actually would have hurt him. That's nothing compared to what Orlando has been doing to our guys.

it's NOT a hand check----he's SQUEEZING into KG's flesh---knowing the refs won't know the difference----CHEATING...and getting away with it-!!

[CoachBo]

21 minutes of the kind of basketball I've been looking for since game 3 at both ends.

And 3 minutes - when we could have stepped on their throats with Howard and Nelson on the bench - of the kind of basketball that got us in trouble in the last two games.

Like the lead, frustrated it isn't larger because it should be. VERY poor close to the second quarter.

I think the hand check isn't illegal in that area of the court, but Dwight was grabbing and pinching KG's ribs, which is why it made him so mad.
