Magic were extremely lucky tonight I can live with that.

Great game by Rondo!


BTW, why didn`t Big Baby play?


Matchups, I would guess. No way he could cover Lewis or Hedo. Or Howard.

I'm not upset by this loss. KG was out. Pierce played 3 great quarters. Rondo was assertive and searching to take it inside at any opportunity. Those two are pivitol elements of this offense and just hope that this doesn't disappear for games at a time.

It was a good game. Personally, I don't hate the Magic or your players. Except for Brian Cook. I can't believe it's both his AND Hedo's birthday!

I choose the ref who was standing right under the hoop when Powe got mauled twice in a row. It was probably the same guy.

I think Perk should be more involved in the offense. He's lead the team in scoring twice within a week and he only gets 5 shots? He's not an offensive star, but he certainly can produce.

Come on man.


I hate this generation of "NBA-made superstars". Its amazing what they get away with..Lebron with his travelling, Wade with his palming, Howard just pushing people and swinging his arms without getting a technical..ridiculous. On the other hand, your shadow crosses theirs, and its a foul...

This Orlando team just became the most hate-able team to me. Dwight was a little bitch tonight, swiping at Rondo because he was going for the steal.

Also, not sure if anyone else noticed, but Lisa Salters asked Turkolu why this win was so big and not once did he mention the Celtics. All he said was they were a great team and the country knows now or some bs like that.

Kg needs to take it easy and heal up. There's no way he'd have done that on the sidelines. He would've been jumping up and down all game.

Perk should play more, PERIOD..I mean, we had NO rebounders in there. I can understand Big Baby not playing due to matchups..but not playing our ONLY physical player??? Come on now...

I just want Dwight to be taken down hard. What a punk... Well, the Magic will fade away in the second half, just like clockwork.. So we will havegreat joy in eliminating them in the first round this year.


No they won't. They'll be the third seed at worst, I'm still gonna stick with them being the second seed.

Tough to get shots from the bench--friggin Doc Rivers has no KG,so he goes with Scal and Powe all game....I know Perk got 2 quick fouls,buy he hardly used him in the 2nd half---Powe did great,but it shows how dumb Doc is---the guy didn't see any playing time for a month..NOW he's practically a starter--reminds me of Gome's rookie year.

Yeah, Doc's way too in love with this small ball s**t. Perk's proven to be a pretty damn good player when he gets the opportunity, he just doesn't seem to get the opportunity.

Personally, I think Scal did a damn good job on Lewis in the first half. I didn't see a lot of the third quarter then Scal didn't play much in the fourth..

Good game.

Don't understand all the hate on Dwight. Because he flung his arm out? That was hardly anything to get serious about.

Glad KG was out or we would've been down a lot.

We really fought this game. We had to overcome a lot of adversity and we tied it up at the end.

Great shot by Hedo to beat us. The Magic were very fortunate to win this game. They did almost everything wrong in that 4th quarter.

The game was lost in the time that Rondo had to go to the locker room. House can not guard a chair. Funny, before the season the question was: can the C's win with Rondo? Now it is cleat the team can barely function wiithout Rondo.
