Game Thread: Magic vs. Celtics 1/22/09

Recommended Posts

We will lose if:

 

-Jameer doesn't make an appearance

-Dwight doesn't start focusing on defense

-Rashard doesn't start hitting 3's

-We keep giving easy offensive rebounds

 

You are free to use "AND" or "OR" between these 4 statements.

I can't see us overcoming 11 points in the 4th. Celtics are too good, maybe if we played a team thats not a shutdown defensive team...but it's not happening.

 

on the bench trying to shake Perkins, Davis, Scalabrine and KG out of his head, he's haunted right now...

Can you argue it though? We've been shut down by the Celtics in both games, should we really expect to beat them in a 7 game series? I still think this team is better moving Lewis to SF, and having a real PF to help Dwight. Hedo can be great on offense some nights, but he's a liability guarding guys like Pierce, Granger, LeBron, etc.

Agreed.

pretty much what I meant, every C's game I watch he's up and down the court more than Doc...

Sorry but I don't credit the Celtics defense to making us miss open threes. In a 7 game series, I wouldn't be confident in a win or loss; but I would be shocked if we shot this poorly consistently.

Magic shot 32% in the first half, season low. We are still in the game despite that. But, we won't stay this close too long if we don't turn it up.
