What do the Magic have to do to win?

Well, they have to play a lot better than they did against Philadelphia. But in many ways, Philadelphia was not a good matchup for Orlando. The Magic like to push the ball and find open 3s before the opposing defense is set ? the Sixers are a fast, hustling team that didn?t allow the Magic to thrive on this tactic. The Celtics are many things, but fast isn?t one of them. The Magic will be able to push the ball on Boston and get some open looks through transition.

Most importantly, the Magic need to find the happy medium between their stagnant offense with Dwight Howard and their wide-open offense without Howard. They played a brilliant offensive game in Game 6, and they need to find a way to keep that team cohesion and ball movement alive even with Howard in the game. If they can do that ? and of course, play the same defense that has given Boston problems this season ? the Magic can win this series.

We're gonna get the win. They're going to be worn out and still thinking about the Bulls while we are out on a mission with something to prove.

hey guys, first time poster but long time reader here,

i feel that this game is gonna come down to defense. Celtics may be tired but they have been known in the past to turn that switch on when they feel its necessary. If we can contain rondo and the celtic bench and play at a high level then im confident we can pull out a win.

magic win by 6 98-92
