Game 1:Magic win by 2.
Game 2:Celtics win by double digits in Boston.
Game 3:Magic win on a great buzzer shot by Turkoglu. Garnett was injured.
Those results don't really show they do match up well against Boston. They'd have to win in Boston to have any shot at winning the series. Detroit actually beat Boston in Boston, so I think there are more worries about the Pistons from Celtics fans than Orlando.

Those wins along with the Magic having the 2nd best road record in the East should show that the Magic do match up well with Boston.

That also means they're not a great home team, so I don't see how it helps if they're a good road and home team, but not dominant in either.

Wally was turnover prone and didn't get along with KG well. Let's just say KG + Wally = not a good combination.


the year minny didn't make the playoffs after the WCF appearance: KG 2.7 TO per game, Wally 1.6 TO's. The year before the WCF appearance: KG 2.8 to's to 1.7 of wally. and so on and so on. every season I've checked KG had more TO's per game.

KG touches the ball a lot more than Wally does, so that's an unfair comparison. Despite that, KG still has a better assist to turnover ratio than Wally in those two seasons you mentioned.

And Wally launches a shot as soon as he touches the ball :lol:
