Crazy defensive rotations with Pavlovic and Quis

I know their will probably be a large contingent of people predicting the loss of the game and how the Celtics will be blown out by 30 somewhere between 30 seconds to 10 minutes after tipoff, but I for one have a very good feeling about this game.

Why?

Because other than Howard, this Orlando team is awful. If you just let Howard go off, keep him off the offensive boards to the best of your abilities, and keep the game close until the 4th quarter, then all you have top do is hack him the whole fourth quarter and cut the Orlando scoring down to half because he's only going to make half his FTs.

I think they win it.

Prediction: Avery Bradley has a very good night. Like 12-14 pts, 5 asts and 3 steals while playing tough defense.

Prediction: Greg Stiemsma will see time against Howard and be eaten alive.

Prediction: After the game Orlando fans will still be disappointed in the Brandon Bass/Glen Davis trade.

Not bad....I'm happy with my predictions

that was weird, just had an Eric Williams flash seeing Moore's #55 out there.  hadn't thought of him in a long time.

Steamer got eaten by the refs.....

As Mike Gorman said... guys typically raise the level of their play up when a star goes out.  Just doesn't last.

[PosImpos]

You got to develop your youth. More important than playoff seeding.

Das da truth.

OK Doc, JJJ is ready.

[slamtheking]

well that sucks  -- JO out on fouls.  hope Steimsma can hang in there until the end.

[guava_wrench]

JO sure does help against Howard. Now Stiemsma gets to be overmatched again.

[33-00-32]

Definitely a weakness but Steamer, KG & JJJ should be able to hold on.

OK Doc, JJJ is ready.

Hah, like that will happen!
