2010 NBA Eastern Conference Finals: Magic (#2) Vs. Celtics (#4)

You b*stard.

 

I hear you. Yea, the Magic don't seem like they would stand much of a chance.

 

I'm not Ray Allan and I'm not a b*stard. :grin:

 

signed, delonte west

 

Didn't know you needed an award to be something.

 

Orlando has been such a joke.

Literally getting a bye to the conference finals, only to be on the verge of getting shoved out the door.

Not discounting the Celtics' job this series, they have peaked at the right time, and the Big 3 still have some left in the tank.

 

How can the offense go through Yao when he's INJURED?

Good god, the YOFs here never fail to piss me off Stop talking about our frail 7'6 center in the East's semifinals thread. Yao Ming hasn't even played a 2nd round game yet, for crying out loud.

Anyway back on topic...

Can you guys believe the hypocrisy of these Celtics thugs? Weren't they the ones who were saying that they needed to play rough against DH? LOL now the tables are turned and they're whining like little b****es...

 

Hes not better, just healthier

 

Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter = epic fail.

 

They aren't a joke.

They haven't faced competition up until now, and it was a hard slap in the face.

Orlando better play the same way they did today, with even more skill for game 5.

 

Spoiler

This guy just looks like he'd try to bang your mom.

 

Oh to be a Magic fan must be tough. They are one of the worst clutch final minute of the game franchises I've ever seen. Curse of Nick Andersen? From missed free throws to leaving guys wide open who are all time great shooters or clutch shooters (Fisher last year).

Lucky they even won this game.

That said if Dwight, Jameer, Carter and Rashard could all simultaneously play somewhat above average they should be the better team.

 

It's getting old, you want to compare a healthy Yao, and yet the best counter argument you can come up with is a cheap shot of his injury.

Just in case, if you are half serious, I said right now, Big Baby is better than Yao, any working and playing big man is better than Yao. But if you really want to compare a healthy Yao with any big man out there, NOT ANY PAST LEGENDS with MVP AWARDS, but anyone out there right now, including Howard. Player to player, you have all the head to head match up results to dig out, draw your own conclusion.

You made your feelings about Yao clear from day one. I am not interested.

This is my last reply to you in this thread, because I don't want to further derail it.

 

Boston has the ability to make every team look bad, including the Lakers.

Few were calling the Magic a joke when they beat the Hawks by a gazillion points and swept through the first 2 rounds.

The Magic are one of the best teams in the league. They just aren't as good as the Celtics. They may have as much talent but they don't execute as well at either end and lack the same mental and physical toughness.

 

Howard's averaging 20/11/3 in this series now, and this has been a disappointing series for him. Just for comparison, Yao's averaged 20/9/1.5 in the playoffs over his career.

 

The "COMPARED TO A HEALTHY YAO" argument is also getting old. Reality is reality. If you want to play the pretend game, why don't we assume Howard can shoot and let's compare him to Dream.

 

In the wild Arctic, the Beluga Whale has often been spotted licking its chops in anticipation prior to a meal. When not exercising, their sedentary status has led many to believe they are giant poser crybabies that are guided primarily by their instinct to fit in with their leaner, more mentally stable counterparts.

What is it for the whole playoff?

If Stats was everything TMAC is one of the best playoff player in the NBA.

DH= over hyped (I don't really care if he is better than Yao)
