Celtics (7-9) at Magic (12-5) 1/26

[SHAQATTACK]

We are gonna play ourselves out of a lottery pick if this mess keeps up  



We lured em to sleep ... give em a nice lead and all

Then we jumped on em boys and beat em like a little Red Headed Step Child !!

[Drucci]

WOW, what a comeback! I thought we were done at halftime because of the blowout, then we came back and I thought "ok maybe we can tie it but we will ultimately falter late in the game like we did all season"... and yet we  didn't!

E'Twaun was awesome, talk about a breakout game! Hopefully he keeps it up and makes his place in the rotation. Glad Doc trusted him in this one though (although he didn't have much choice with Dooling's new injury). Pierce was awesome once again, Bass too and Pietrus hit key shots.

It's so cool to see the real Celtics back. And to win this one after such a deficit, on the road, without Ray and Rondo, and JO... wow!!

The only night this season I miss a game. Did not see this coming after monday. WOW

I thought Wilcox looked good at stretches.   It also showed that Greg is not a good low post defender as I have been saying.  He should stick to blocking shots.  He struggles at post D though.  Moore was awesome and I hope he buries Avery to the bench.   

[SHAQATTACK]

Moore IMO handles the ball more securely than any othe Celtic guard. Rondo makes fantastic plays then 5 secd latter he dribbles it off his foot.  Moore is slower ,but more sure handed and steady.  He just needs to learn to run the show and need TONs of court time.  Moore is streaky shooter, when he is hot he can go crazy.

Some of the best defense you'd ever want to see in the second half. Simply outstanding, and great to see some of the bench guys buying in.

Moore was terrific. You earn your way with solid play with the lights on and the TV goons talking, and his game was solid across the board - ballhandling, defense, shooting within the flow of the offense.

One of the most stirring Celtic wins ever.

Stat of the night; Moore lead all players in +/- at +27.  He didn't get any assists but no turnovers either.

[Slugger]

Ok, just caught game on League Pass.  Moore and Capt. getting alot of love round here, but what about KG!

His best game of the season by far.  He was everywhere on D tonight - especially 2nd half.

Spurred that 2nd half comeback with his magnificent D.

Also had a nice offensive game sharing the ball.

[Kwhit10]

I hope this home-and-home is a turning point.  The team can still play suffocating defense.  I hope the team can get everyone healthy with the vets and young guys playing this awesome defense while getting into a grove on offense.

Leaves me much more optimistic after these two games.

I think Rondo has the best handle in the league with those huge hands. Very rarely see him get picked off. His TOs come from crazy oases usually.

I do agree that moore probably has a better handle than Avery and Dooling though

[CelticG1]

Stat of the night; Moore lead all players in +/- at +27.  He didn't get any assists but no turnovers either.

also KG was like a +25 I think. Both were by far the highest. Garnett playing in the first half and guarding howard for most of the game makes that even more impressive

[BringToughnessBack]

Came back in game thread this morning just to make sure that what I witnessed last night really happened- whew, not a dream.

Bring on the Pacers! Bird is on the menu tonight

Kgs stats although impressive, 12 points, 10 boards, 4 blocks, 3 assists, 3 steals, 3 tos, +25, really dont begin to describe the  impact he had on this game

[Cman]

I was wrong to get in the dumps about the team last night.

This team pulled out a nice comeback win.

Let's hope for more of the same!

[Celtics4ever]

All of us were in the dumps at some point or your not a Celtic fan.  I kept watching and boy was I glad.
