Ridiculous shot

wow, that's a tough one.

mixed feelings b/c I really like Hedo. Wished we got at least OT.

Great game, can't really complain about much. Unbelievable heart w/o their best player to comeback several times when the game seemed out of reach and they played that last defensive possession PERFECTLY.

All you can do is tip your cap to a guy when he hits a shot like that.

Do we have another game against them in the regular season?

I guess the Orlando board will award the Victory Cigar to one of the officials. The question is who? The three of them did a marvelous job. My vote goes to the one that was 4-feet away from Swiping Dwight.

Great game. I don't want to hear about referees. The game was tied. I didn't like the couple of non-calls late in the game, but it happens and they were in the game still.

I gotta say, between this game and the Toronto game, we have not been having a lot of luck lately.

Well that sure was a hell of a shot by Hedo. Pierce was right there on D, he just made a very tough shot.

Wow... Rondo makes a nice layup, then that great steal, Pierce finds Ray for the three. Then Hedo throws up a prayer that goes in. What a crazy game.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEDO!!!

What bothers me is that he made the shot on what I think was the stupidest end-of-game play I've ever seen. He dribbled the shot clock down to under 5 seconds, dribbled into a double team, then attempted a fadeaway 3 with Paul in his face. What a moron. Yet he makes the shot.

Anyway, just as the win over Minny was the least satisfying win of the season, this loss is the least bothersome. We almost knocked off Orlando without the league's MVP. I wouldn't too feel great about it if I were them, just like we didn't feel too good about beating the Wolves.

I mean, they're certainly a good team and in no way am I suggesting they didn't deserve to win. I just wouldn't take too much out of this game.

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.

Paul played him tough but Hedo just came up with the big shot.

Was a good game overall with the team showing a lot of heart (especially Rondo) without KG.

Speaking of KG, I know he was upset with not being in the game but would have been nice to have him on the sidelines cheering them on.

Oh well, let's see how it goes in Miami.

I am usually quick to tip my hat off to teams when they beat the Celtics. Today, I just refuse to do so. I think I saw too many dirty little tricks from the Orlando players.

Proud of our team tonight. We played well.

Magic were extremely lucky tonight I can live with that.

Great game by Rondo!

BTW, why didn`t Big Baby play?
