    Also of course Tmac with his "Feels good to be in the 2nd round..." only for the Magic to lose the next 3 games.

    This is what I was about to say. Boston hasn't played well enough to think they will sweep. They just need to stay focused and try to close orlando out. Orlando wins game 3, game for will be a war

    Rashard Lewis shouldn't get off the hook because of Vince and JJ's end game mistakes.

    Lewis signed for 6 years/ 127 million dollars. He doesn't have to rebound because Howard covers for him, we know he can't play defense. He's got one job out on the court, play offense and hit shots. It's not surprising that the Magic made a run playing Gortat and Howard together.

    To me Rashard Lewis has been the biggest choke artist in this series, not Vince or JJ.

    KG's in his head. KG is a big jerk but the non-stop chattering and mind-games he plays work on some guys and I think Rashard Lewis is one of them. On the other hand, Dwight Howard hates KG's guts and every time KG guards him, Howard wants to slam the ball down his throat. The Magic need Rashard to get ticked off instead of intimidated.

    Exactly. Don't count the Magic out just yet. If they lose the next game, then you can say goodbye to them.

    I think these two teams have comparable talent. If you factor in the benches, a lot of people would probaby argue that Orlando is deeper.

    Having said that, if both of these teams play to their full potential, I still think that Boston executes much better overall, offensively and defensively. I also like the mental makeup better of Boston's players when it comes to playoff basketball. They are more capable of handling the pressure of this stage.

    My wild guess is that Orlando takes 1 in Boston, mostly due to Boston having an off game. Boston then closes it out in Game 5 with Orlando giving up a late lead and losing in some kind of epic fashion.

    I don't think Pierce would caps lock and shout BROOM in that twitter comment.

    Well, he did say in the post game interview that they were gonna close it out in Boston.

    He was also seen saying to Magic fans that he will see them next year.

    Totally agree. Rashard Lewis is the reason why the Magic are losing this series so far. I'll say it again, he's a total failure.

    I don't know, this is the same guy that was stabbed several times in a night club.

    Even Morey doesn't use proper grammar (capitalization) in his Twitter comments. Pierce doesn't seem like the guy who would find the caps lock key on his phone and type in BROOM.

    ionno.

    Kevin Garnett is shutting Rashard Lewis out of the series...

    As good as Perkins is, he's not = to Bynum... That's a clear advantage to the Lakers, one that they didn't have in 08 when they lost to the C's. Garnett is not equal to Gasol either, Gasol has that clear advantage, he is the better player. I think the revenge factor and home court also come into play in this series if both the Lakers and Celtics advance. Having home court and winning one or both of the first two games will probably be the biggest key in winning the series for either team, and I just feel as though the Lakers (who btw are undefeated at home) won't lose that home court advantage.
