Celtics (23-4) at Magic (16-12) 12/25

Robinson is a bum. He can't play point guard and is a truly inconsistent outside shooter. He is Eddie House with a less consistent jumper.

Magic are only 7 games behind Boston in the standings now. lol

Merry Christmas and TP's to all, and congrats to Jeff and his family... the Tragic are "turrible", and there's no way they can beat the Celtics if they play at their level.

Seems like today both the Celtics and the Stern boys felt the christmas spirit and want to warm Tragic fans' hearts.

Good for them, and after the game, one out of the Miami Hype Machine and the Los Angeles Fakers will lose too. Misery likes company, and it's always good to see them lose.

By the way, as the streak ends, it's time to start another one. Go Celtics!!!

We're still 23-5 with Rondo out. We're still the top seed in the East. I don't believe in Magic!

[MaxAMillion]

This team will struggle offensively until Rondo gets back. Robinson is worthless.

The streak had to end, too bad it happened on Christmas day. It was an ugly game by Ray and Nate. We just didn't have enough firepower to carry us throughout the game. Tough loss but no biggie. We'll get them next time. Nevertheless, Merry Christmas to all here at CB!

Well, I think its official that the Magi are better for the trade. That said, Gil remains a loose canon, Turk is hit/miss, and Richardson is a chukker. Thye'd be fools to trade Reddick. As for the C's, they  shot a poor %, played without their starting PG, had Shaq foul out--and they still pushed the magi to the brink.

What a horrid loss to a bunch of chuckers. horrible. Howard is a turd

I think you're pushing it a tad. We'll be fine.

Robinson is a better defender than House and more diverse in the ways he can score.
Give how people reacted to a rusty Jermaine O'Neal, I predict that this board will go a bit nuts at times when Perk comes back and has bad games working his way back into playing shape.

[Errn]

It's over. Nate loses the ball. That really seals the deal. His worst game as a Celtic.

Orlando made some defensive adjustments towards the end that really stymied Boston's offense. We need to figure out what they did and adjust.

We looked tired at the end. Where was the trust in our bench? Why was Bradley not put in for Robinson in the fourth quarter? Why did Daniels, who played a good game, not make an appearance late in the game?

KG kept us in the game in the second half but missed a jumper and a FT towards the end.

Also, Jermaine O'Neal has been unimpressive. Even before he was injured, he bobbled the ball and lacked intensity. Today was just par for the course.

Celtics failed to close a game against a good team. Not good. Even without Rondo, West and Perk, we should be beating the Magic by 10+ points.

[CoachBo]

Holy cow, that's the worst point guard play in a Celtics uniform I've seen in a decade.

Man, Robinson was AWFUL tonight. Just terrible.

[CelticSooner]

The best thing is the C's can't let the losses start to mount like last year. Got another tough game against a athletic young Pacers team on Tuesday.

Hopefully the offense is more loose with not worrying about maintaining the streak in the back of their minds.

[Bahku]

Defense was great for most of the game ... the offense sucked. Dwight should have fouled out in the third, and we just never took it to him or attacked the basket. I'm not the least bit worried about the Magic, but I don't like the streak ending on Christmas, or the continual stroking of Dwight Coward by the officials. We gave this one away ... they didn't take it.

[celticinorlando]

Magic suck.  Period. Hate them and wish bad things on those bums
