Round 2 - Game 1: Playoffs Game Thread Magic at Celtics 5/4/09 8:00 P.M.

We took game 1 and we have obvious improvements to make and should keep us focused for game 2. The Celtics are not a team that will get demoralized, they have gone to game 7 three times in the last two years and are the defending champs. If we won by 30 we might go out with the attitude that the series is already won. I don't see how the night could have gone any better.

i wasn't expecting a 20-30 pt win, but i was expecting a drama-less 4th quarter. This team just has a knack for making huge victories feel like losses at the end of the night.

 

we won, we have homecourt...but we've all probably lost some years of our lives.

I agree. If your up by 28 pts and I dont care who it is, if your an elite team (which I feel the Magic are) you should be able to "hold on" for at least a 10 pt win.

 

Im sure we will make necessary adjustments. I just think we need to play smarter for the full 48.

Does anyone know that Brian Scalabrine had the best plus/minus of the game with +22

 

Isnt that bizarre?
