I think we'll lose but hopefully it isn't a total stinker.

Great thread SD! I want revenge against this team, I don't care who is out for us. I absolutely hate the Celtics. Gotta play smart and play with that same energy that we have been playing with for the past two games. Hopefully Big Baby is back for this one as I haven't heard his status for the game tonight.

It's time for us to get another good win in a much hostile environment...LET'S GET IT!!!

ChosenSavior's good luck pics for tonight...

Should be interesting.

Please just don't get embarrassed on national TV!

Ryan Anderson really needs to stop transforming into a ghost against playoff teams, he's losing his value doing that.

GO MAGIC!

I just hope we avoid them in the first round ..

i would be very shocked if we win, and confused, lol.

Hopefully the unselfishness and the good shooting doesn't stop tonight. And, even if we did those things, we still might lose. That's just how good Boston is.

Should still be a pretty fun game. I can imagine them scoring a lot of points and us, not so much.
Still always love the Boston atmosphere and when you get a dunk or a big three and then the crowd just goes "OOHH" and goes real quiet for a bit.

Your sig is hilarious, well done...

If Ryan will play like he did against the sixers and not depend on the three, he wont be as much of a non-factor that he was in the first two games.

BBD is starting tonight I believe.
I actually like Glen guarding KG he does a good job. In the previous games it looked like he knew KG's bag of tricks and forced him into some very tough shots.

I could make an essay on why a healthy Magic team could match-up pretty decently against this Boston team. Ok, I'll give you the shortened version.

A lineup of
Rondo
Bradley
Pierce
Bass
KG
will get JRich some post-up opportunities, who ever defends him. Dwight can get his own against KG. Ryan would most likely have a good rebounding series if facing Bass (and perhaps a couple of mistakes by Bass would lead to open threes for Ryan as well).
Then other things will be simpler like making an entry pass to Dwight by the 4 man won't have to go through the 20 ft arms of KG.
Then JJ comes off the bench to defend Ray.

Obviously we still won't be able to score easily against them but we should have a HUGE rebounding edge. And if Duhon keeps playing then we can forget about all that. You can expect plenty of shot-clock violations when Duhon is on the floor.

I remember us signing Ish basically after the first game against Boston and SVG saying "We need a guy who can bring the ball up". If he doesn't play Ish this game, this will be very hypocritical of him and not smart AT ALL. Although when you play Duhon over Ish at any times it isn't smart.

Keep playing as a team!

Go Magic!
