Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

This should be another hard fought series. I'm saying another 7 game series. I believe the Magic will get it done, but it's going to be a war.

Magic 7

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

Unless Garnett comes back, I'm going with Orlando in 6. Just not enough big bodies to throw at Howard, he is going to obliterate that front line if Perkins can't stay out of foul trouble.

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

If KG comes back it gets interesting.

BUT: Hedo and Rashard seem to be finding their range. While Rafer a streaky shooter seems to be streaking for a while.

I think it will be the Magic in 6.

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

If Lee doesn't come back in this series then I have the Celtics in 7. If he comes back near full strength Orlando in 6.
It will be interesting how Boston will play Lewis can't combine Big Baby and Perkins with Lewis out there: start Scalabrine????

PS: if perkins is hurt then Orlando sweeps

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

Perkins was looking injured after the Miller cheapshot. If he's running on one shoulder you can forget it. At that point the only thing that can stop the Magic are Reefer, 'Shard and Turkeyglue. Not that I doubt that those three up to the task of torpedoing the Magic, but the Celtics are simply running out of bodies. They could conceivably be without three of the four PF/Cs that logged most of their minutes this year. That's an awful lot to ask of Jesus and P-2.

Perkins hurt, Garnett out, Powe out and having to face Dwight?

Unless a miracle happens and KG comes back i can only see the Celtics stealing a game or 2 unfortunately

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

Wow. Another 7 game series in the making.



I had a COH. Im picking the Celtics. After watching Rondo averaged almost a triple double in the first round, I have extreme confidence that Boston's big 3 will outplay the Dwight Howard and friends. Allen is blazing hot and Pierce is still going to be a tough cover for the Magic without one of their best perimeter (Lee).



Celtics also has HCA, which is always a plus for a depleted roster. Go Celtics.

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

Celtics have homecourt and I will pick them in 7. Orlando has to win the series for me to take them seriously. If you can't beat a M.A.S.H. unit Celtic team then who can you beat? Let's see if Marbury plays better in this series than he did against the Bulls.

Both teams are going to get pwned by the Cavs anyways... But I'll say Orlando in 6.

Re: EC Semifinals: (3) Orlando Magic vs. (2) Boston Celtics

magic are not at their full strength either. nelson is out, lee is out, and hedo is hobbled. i think the celtics still have a shot at this but they're definitely the "underdogs" at this point. dwight howard is going to be a difficult matchup but the good thing is he's not the guy you expect to carry a team's scoring load, so the celtics should use that to their advantage. keep rashard from having big games, make sure rafer stays cold, and makes sure hedo keeps being invisible. let dwight howard beat you.

I don't know why people keep saying this: if Lee is playing a Cavs-Magic series would be a dogfight
