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

[aporel#18]

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.

+1

Doc have to think a little more

He just needed to Attack Howard
One of two times garnett attack him he got a foul
the 5fth just a little too late

Even ugly reffering cant do anything about a superstar attacking another superstar

Pierce is the only one to blame this game. He received a stupid tech while we were up 9 with the ball after a good defensive stop. And up until that point Pierce was having a great game, after that tech he apparently let it effect his game because he played horrible the rest of the way. Only 2 points total afterwards on FT's but no FG's. I was upset instantly after that Tech because it got Orlando going when They were completely stagnant at the moment and he let them see the ball go in & that's how runs start!

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.

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

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

TP. A little perspective y'all. It seems for some everything has to be black or white. Shades of grey are much nicer and have the added bonus of corresponding to reality.

Max--you wan't to give back those playoff games Nate won for this team?

Nate was awful. Celtic at full strength will beat the tragic easily. Howard got away with a lot as did turkeyglue. I hate losing to those punks

[Yugocelt]

I know we shouldn't panic but it feels like game 7 for some reason.. arrrghhh, hate this just hate it..

Hate that smug look Dwight and Nelson get on their faces, just wanna punch them so bad.

[CelticSooner]

C's play them again in a couple of weeks. We'll get revenge don't worry.

[Tenacious D]

While Nate was the supreme bricklayer, Ray, Glenn, Quis, also struggled. 17 pts in the 3rd, 15 in the 4th-- so not a case of not closing like last season. Just not there. Its a wonder they were still in the game until the last minute. Orlo basicly bottle up PP and lucked out that everyone else left their shot in baggage.

Too many jumpers. We really miss Rondo. This game should have been over midway fourth

[thirstyboots18]

That game was a heartbreaker.  That said, the Celts have been astounding in their record so far this year, consindering the lost time by starters and important reserves.
 
Today we were missing the first and fourth option at center (Perk and Erden),  and option #2 can only play limited minutes, and option 1 and 2 at point guard (Rondo and Delonte).  

The Celts are going to be scary good by playoff time!

[celticinorlando]

Magic...pathetic schmucks

Playoff games he won? I recall one really great game. I don't remember him winning multiple playoff games for the C's. Robinson is not a point guard. The offense will be strictly an iso offense until Rondo comes back. He does little to help this team.

I am not real sure why DA wanted him back.

[celticinorlando]

Gotta get healthy. I will get over this loss but it makes me highly upset they gave them that game

[celticinorlando]

Makes me sick. The media will be all over the magic now. Howard is so overrated.

Nate was taking good open jump shots on many of his misses too. Ugh, just needed a few more shots to go down.
